Well I know these arent limited to summer time...but I think they fit very well in summertime. Which is your favorite salad from the following four?
Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Bean salad or Pea salad.
My problem is I like all four!
Timmay
-
What exactly is pea salad? I've never heard of it.
-
it is made basically like potato or bean salad...you just put pea's in it..
Timmay
-
Does it still have the potatoes and beans in it?
-
no silly...lol
you make it just liek those but you leave out the key ingredient..ie..potato, macaroni or beans and just substitute peas.....
-
So it's basically just peas and mayonnaise?
-
peas mayo mustard pickles eggs salt pepper and soemtimes we add a lil shredded cheddar
-
Other than BBQ some favorites of mine are
Ramen salad, it is basically 2 heads of iceberg lettuce, 1 head of cabbage with a bag of dry crushed ramen noodles and some terriyaki sauce
Then there is the classic fruit salad. Everyonce in a while in the summer we will do a fruit night with a big bowl of fruit salad and some melon slices and oranges.
Which leads to Snicker salad which is 2 or 3 chopped apples, a snickers bar cut up and a bunch of whipped topping
-
potato salad
it doesn't get any better.
unless there is broccoli on the table too.
-
Fresh sliced tomatoes and basil from our garden drizzled with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cracked pepper and salt, maybe some fresh mozzarella. That's summer food to me!
-
I guess the only two foods I associate with summertime are corn on the cob and fresh Jersey peaches. :@`
-
Corn on the cob...had some today...yummy!
-
I'm a definite tater salad gal... mmm, especially when it's made with baby new potatoes (still with their skins on) or Jersey Royals.
And I know it's really piggy of me, but I can never wait for it to cool down.. somehow it tastes twice
as yummy while the taters are still warm )-m
-
Watermelon, artichokes, corn on the cob.
-
Watermelon, sweet corn on cob,pork BBQ,jalapenos/habaneros,potato salad,fresh sliced tomatoes heavy on the salt.
I've had tomatoes all over the world in Australia,Japan,Mexico,Indonesia,all throughout N.America and never have I tasted a tomatoe that even comes close to the ones grown by Leo Conrad in Grand Rapids OHIO. Those things are the sweetest,juiciest,ripest tomatoes you ever did have the pleasure of eating.
-
an ice, cold, sweet watermelon & charcoal grilled foods (burgers, ribs, chops, shrimp, sausages) O0

Rob, I'm with you on this one. Gotta be from the garden, and it's even better if it is your own garden.
Max
-
jersey sugar babies, jersey beefsteaks, jersey sweet corn on the cob and some of those good old jersey peaches as big as your fist.
-
BEER!
-
BEER!
Isn't that a year-round indulgence? ;)
-
I have to second or third or fourth the BEER!!!!
All your grilled foods...burgers, dogs, bbq chicken, corn on the cob, etc are definitely my favorite summer foods

I doo agree too !
If you like tomatoes and mozzarella, I suggest you try this combination:
Tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil and origan (Oregano).
Estragon (Tarragon) goes well with tomatoes too. In this case replace mozzarella with feta. (Avoid Russian variety of Tarragon as it is less tasty.)

Thanks Phil! Easy enough...I have all of that growing in the garden, too. Except the feta.
-
Home cranked peach ice cream and fresh fruit sorbets!

I'll have to say Maryland Blue crabs covered in old bay seasoning and corn on the cob followed by a cold beer
-

Fresh tomatoes right from the garden and picked that day corn on the cob. Yummmmmy
-
Fresh cucumber, onion, and tomatoes salad.
Also sliced cucumbers on bread and butter... :@`
-

I'll second this! In fact I have 53 tomato plants in my garden this year. A grilled rib eye, sirloin or t-bone goes good with it.

-
mother-in-law just dropped in and she brought with her...two flats of fresh picked strawberries from her garden....gonna snag some of them up right now...lol
-
Corn on the cob and Maryland tomatoes (even though I live in PA.)
Any grilled or smoked meat, particularly pork.
My newest favorite... grilled pineapple..........
-
Corn on the cob ! Corn on the cob !
The only time I heard this was in an episode of Star Trek Voyager.
Knowing what happened, I wonder if you all really are what you appear to be...
-
No we are all the crew of the USS Enterprise.
-
New England Clam Chowder, Lobster, Hot Dogs, Corn on the Cob, Soft Serve Custard, Funnel Cakes, fresh Blueberry Pie... those are the foods that evoke the summer for me. :@`

Preach on my brutha, preach on!

Say what you will about us Southerners, we're dumb, talk slow and all that jazz....but I'm telling you; There ain't nothing like summer in the South.

Our church recently had a lady to join who is European via Austrailia. She said, off all the places she had lived, that the south was the first place where every conversation included either "Let me give you a recipe for ..." or (more importantly), "Will you share that recipe ....".

And BJ, Watermelon Salad, Watermelon RInd Preserves, Fresh Watermelon, Ice Box Melons, Plugged Melons ... Watermelon seed spit fights!

the best way to get a watermelon cold is throw it in the pool for about an hour.
Cut a hole in it, fill it up with vodka, rum whatever and put the plug back on it. cover the whole with some clean tape to keep the liquor from leaking out and throw it in the pool. mmmmmmmm
Paula Deen is like what you see on TV. That is her through and through. And yes, we eat watermelon, peaches and tomatos a LOT down here.
I do want to have a New England lobster boil party on night this summer. Can any of my Yankee Sly Brothers help me out. I've heard you can boil them and steam them. What's the best way? I've heard that boiling them makes them waterlogged.

All I know is I want some of them Georgia Peaches that get the size of grapefruits and juicey enough to drown an elephant. I remember long long ago, drivign thru Georgia late august early sept. bought some peaches from a man at a road rest...OH DAMN you talk about some fresh damn peaches...I think I paid 5 bucks for liek 6 of them....I would pay 10 for em today just to have some. SO when is the best time to purchase peaches from Georgia...I will be driving thru there next weekend.....I WANT SOME BAD!
-
They're getting ripe now. You can get some varieties now. The rest will be ready here in a few weeks. I like to buy them and other vegetables from the roadside stands. You meet the greatest people and get the freshest food. Also, selling their stuff is usually their only source of income. So it kind of helps them out too.
-
perfect I will be looking for some on my way home....hopefully they will be nice and ready....

You paid $5 bucks for peaches! I think the guy you bought those peaches from must have been a carpetbagger.
I paid 89 cents for a pound up here in Boston. They were rather small, but still tasty. Never saw peaches the size of a grapefruit. Must have been mutant peaches.
-
You dont understand BJ...these were Fresh GEORGIA PEACHES and they were HUGE...i kid you not...the size of grapefruits and they were gone before we even got back home to indiana..the peaches yuou buy fresh in the store....are not fresh no matter how many times you put the words FRESH in front of it. Dont believe me.....make a trip to Georgia in the summer!
-
The peaches you buy in grocery stores are from CA or Jersey or wherever. They taste nothing like a genuine Georgia Peach.

The closest I'll get to Ga this summer is Jersey. Fresh Jersey peaches may not be the size of grapefruits, but their just as tasty.

Timmay relax mate. :/O
Both types of Peaches are great tasting. That is your opinion that Georgia peaches are better than Jersey peaches.
Just like it is YOUR opinion that the Red n Whites are a good look for you, others would vehemently disagree.
-
LMAO
-
I love peaches no matter where they come from. I like them extra fuzzy if you know what I mean...huh? huh?
-
I really love your peaches I want to shake your tree........lalalalalala dee daaa
-
Fuzz is a good thing, as long as the fruit is clean.
-
ok guys, while i would probably agree about the georgia ,UHHH peaches. ;) ;) this is about summer foods not a battle of who's fruit tastes best. everyone has their own opinion and that is cool.
-
OH Paul...dont be a sour grape...lol
-
don't make me .................. :x!

Reading what everyone else posted reminded me of all the stuff I forgot. One is fresh BBQ chicken. When I say fresh, I mean butchered a half our before you cook them. Some other things are the fresh fruit, there is nothing like fresh Washington Apples, we live about 45 minutes from Green Bluff which is kinda a tourist trap but they have tons of orchars there and they have festivals all the time like the cherry pickers trot which is a 4 mile run with a pit spit at the end. Another thing my wife does in the summer is strawberry jam. We had such a late winter so the june strawberries are just now starting to bloom.
One of my wifes family traditional foods is grilled onions, you core the sweet onion, either Walla Walla or Vidalia and stick a chunk of butter, about a table spoon in the middle, then wrap it in foil and stick it on the grill for about an hour.
Reading about all the peaches makes me want to have some peaches and fresh cream or peaches on top of cottage cheese. Which reminds me of another favorite, grilled pine apple, we always grill big slabs of pine apple and eat them plain or stick it on a burger.
Tonight we are having a big BBQ with a bunch of friends with some steak, grilled onions and pine apple, some burgers, sweet potato fries and probably some chicken. The best thing we are having as paul said is BEER!

I forgot one of my other favorite things of summer- Sweet iced tea, we got through about 2 pitchers a day of it.

That does sound good but I can't stop thinking about peach fuzz! :*))

Just got the green light from my doctor 2 weeks ago. I can drink ALL the iced tea I want!! 13 months ago, had emergency surgery to remove kidney stones. Had to be VERY careful of sodium, and crap like that.
-
unsweetened iced tea and cold pasta.

Ask Warhawk about the baby back ribs he called me about. He said they turned out great!
-
Macaroni salad and potato salad are two of my favorites.
