Potlucks, Parties, Holidays, and Appetizers

 

 

Here are some recipes that are good for taking along to most any occasion or for entertaining at home—or for your family dinners. Some of the appetizers can be used for snacks. Phases listed under recipe title.

 

These are just a few ideas. Other recipes suitable for these categories can be found throughout this Web site. See links at bottom of this page.

 

 

Marinated Vegetables and Turkey Platter

All Phases. A Betty Crocker recipe. This is good as well as attractive.

 

1/3 cup tarragon vinegar

1/4 cup vegetable oil (canola or olive)

2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (or use 1 teaspoon crushed garlic from jar)

1 medium cucumber, sliced (1/2 of a long seedless cuke is good)

1 medium red onion, sliced and separated into rings

1 medium green bell pepper, cut into rings, cut in half

1 medium red bell pepper, cut into rings, cut in half

1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into rings, cut in half

6 Roma (plum) tomatoes, sliced

Kale or red-leaf lettuce leaves

24 thin slices smoked turkey (about 1 1/2 pounds)

 

Mix vinegar, oil, oregano, mustard, pepper, and garlic. Place cucumber, onion, bell peppers, and tomatoes in sealable heavy-duty plastic bag (or a large Tupperware-type container). Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables; seal bag and toss. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

 

Line serving platter with kale or lettuce. Drain vegetables. Arrange vegetables and turkey on lettuce.

 

Provide tongs for serving. Phase 2 dieters can stuff into whole-wheat pocket bread or between buns if desired, but it’s good on a plate without the bread.

 

This is an attractive and colorful presentation. The picture in the book shows the lettuce at one end of what looks like a 9x13 white dish atop variegated white-green kale, and the veggies at the other end of the dish, not on the kale.

 

When I make it, I slice a slab of turkey (usually Jennie-O Cajun style). For a larger crowd, make a bit extra and use a larger glass dish, maybe 10 x 15 inches. I use kale to line the dish under the turkey under the turkey only.

 

Cauliflower-Bean Salad

All Phases. Ten servings. A Betty Crocker recipe.

 

1 bottle (16 ounces) Italian dressing

1 teaspoon ground mustard

4 cloves garlic, crushed (or 2 teaspoons crushed garlic from jar)

2 cans (16 ounces each) French-style green beans, drained*

2 cans (16 ounces each) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup sliced green onions

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 small head cauliflower, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)

Lettuce

 

Mix dressing, mustard, and garlic in large glass or plastic bowl. Add green beans, kidney beans, onions, parsley, and cauliflower; toss. Cover and refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled, stirring occasionally.

 

Before serving, drain salad. Line salad bowl with lettuce. Spoon salad onto lettuce.

 

*1 package (16 ounces) frozen French-style green beans, steamed, can be substituted for the canned green beans.

 

Note: The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons sugar mixed with the dressing, but it can be omitted and it’s just as good, if not better. If you want a slightly sweet taste without sugar, use Splenda or another sugar substitute.

 
 
Garbanzo Bean Round-Up
All Phases. A good bean salad. From Lawry’s New Taste of Mexico cookbooklet.
 
1 can (15-16 ounces) cut green beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15-16 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15-16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 small can (2.25 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Lawry’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning
3/4 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
