What's Your Favorite Salad to Demo?

[tjb11675]

My hostess this weekend has requested a salad demo and I want to give her a couple of options. I've done the warm lemon pepper and the southwestern chicken ones at shows she's been at already. Would like to do something different.

Cool & Crunchy Taco Salad! HUGE hit at my shows this summer - at my last show where I demoed this, the host said "it's like a party in my mouth!" LOL!


Another (older) favorite is the Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad. Very yummy!

colossal salad, asian chicken salad

I like the asian chicken salad. Except I don't like the dressing. I use a copycat benehana I found on the net. Uses more tools, and tastes MUCH better. Though at home, I throw it all in the blender (shhh, don't tell)!

Poppyseed Salad is great summer salad -always a hit and SO pretty!
Poppy Seed Salad
Small bag iceberg lettuce, washed
Large bag Romaine lettuce, washed
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 quart strawberries, cleaned
1 large can mandarin oranges
½ cup blueberries
¼ cup roasted almonds, sliced

Layer lettuce – then mound chicken in center
Surround with strawberries – then mandarin oranges
Scatter blueberries on top
Sprinkle with sliced almonds

Drizzle Poppy Seed Dressing on top

Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
1 cup salad oil 1 tbsp. grated fresh onion
½ cup sugar 1 tsp. salt
⅓ cup cider vinegar 1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tbsp. poppy seeds 2 to 4 oz. softened cream cheese

In a covered blender (or with mixer) at medium speed, blend the oil, sugar, vinegar, poppy seed, onion, salt and mustard until thoroughly mixed. Dressing will be thick. Blend in cream cheese as desired. Dressing will be VERY thick. Store in a tightly covered jar in refrigerator and stir well before using.
(This dressing only lasts in refrigerator for 2 weeks due to Philadelphia cream cheese.)

I just did the Cool and Crunchy Chicken Salad tonight, And to tell you how great of a hit it was, I had 5 ladies at show, and all of the salad was completly gone in less than 15 minutes.

I love that the Deluxe Cheeseburger salad is so inexpensive. People usually have most of the ingredients on hand, so it is a great one to do if people are on a tight budget and don't have much to spend.

I love the demo the mandarin pasta salad

Me too!! I sooo wish Pampered Chef would add it to one of our larger cookbooks!!! It's the best!!:love:

[slolane2006]

I've been doing the Tropical Chicken Salad and everyone raves about it. 99% of the guests ask me to email them the recipe.

I've been doing the Tropical Chicken Salad and everyone raves about it. 99% of the guests ask me to email them the recipe.

Or put it on your website and tell them they can find it there (and throw in "Along with many others!" ! Drive them to your website! I just read about this earlier this week:

I wanted to share another idea that I learned at conference 2 years ago when I took the PWS workshop. The woman teaching the workshop had over $10,000 in ONLINE orders that year because she does NOT pass out recipes at her shows.... she posts recipes on her web site. Under her Calendar section, she lists each of her hosts for the month (first names only, I believe, with the show date... like "Jane in Boston - Aug 1st), and under that hosts's name she puts the recipe that she did at the show, plus any other obscure recipes she may have done or mentioned that are not in our cookbooks. By directing all that traffic to her PWS to find the recipes, she got TONS of online orders!!I've posted the Molten Chocolate Cake on my web site for the last year, under a News item, and lots of my customers go there, and share it with others. Whenever someone visits your site for a recipe, they see EVERYTHING ELSE there... the tips, the video clips, your News items.... the Outlet, etc. Just my two cents. I've stopped all the paper and emailing, and started posting more recipes on my site. I do send am email to my customers and hosts REMINDING them that they can find the show recipe online from me. It works!
