Calling All Cheffers, I Need Recipe Help!

[chefshawna]

I have a show coming up and I need an idea for a good recipe that doesn't require any oven or microwave. I can pre-baked a crust or something, but I wanted to know if anyone had any good ideas. I have the recipe for Clubhouse Chicken Squares and Cool Veggie Pizza, anything else?
I know you all have the best recipe minds out there, so please HELP!! Thanks!

How about a trifle?The Summer Layered Berry Salad from the Stars and Stripes Theme Show is really good, too.

I had thought about a trifle, but I didn't want a dessert. I forgot about the Layered Berry Salad! Thanks!!

Let me go look for the one I posted here yesterday for the trifle bowl. It's a salad.

Here it is: http://www.chefsuccess.com/f7/i-need-vegan-recipe-41020/#post509342 It isn't really vegan.

MMMmmmmm spinach strawberry salad is YUMMY!

Also...here is my 7 layer salad recipe or you can do the collosal chopped salad!

...the salad dressing is a guess on the amounts, since I just make it up without measuring! LOL


Layer in trifle bowl:
(Change ingredients to your taste!)

Lettuce (can use shredded iceburg or whatever you like! I used one bag of Romaine and Iceburg mix.)
Red Onion (about 1/2 cup?)
Cheese (I used queso fresco yesterday..a mild mexican cheese that crumbles like feta but tastes like Farmers or Motzarella. Use any kind you like! I have used cheddar, or monterey Jack...)
Peas (one half of a bag of frozen peas, thawed)
Red Pepper (one, diced)
Bacon
Hard Boiled eggs, quartered (I think I used 5)

Dressing:
1 c. Miracle Whip (NOT MAYO)
2-3 T. vinegar (plain white or white wine vinegar)
1-2 T. sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
(You can stop there and it's really good. Yesterday I added some of our Dill seasoning mix too!)

Assemble and keep refrigerated till ready to serve. Pour dressing all over the top right before serving.

how about the chicken/avacado/grapefruit salad, using cooked chicken strips or a rotisserie chicken? it's very light and yummy

Hi Susan!

That's a great recipe. It uses a lot of great tools.

Never thought about that. Actually I could just do a 30 min. chicken and take it in baker!! Then it would be a bonus tool!!
Thanks for the ideas!!!!
