No-Cook
Smoked Trout, Watercress and Apple Salad with Creamy Horseradish Dressing
An elegant salad that would add a sophisticated touch to any Thanksgiving menu.
Orange-Marinated Olives
You can use any type of good-quality olive in this spicy dish, but an assortment of black and green olives looks particularly nice.
Lemon Vinaigrette
Lemon adds a subtle acidity and a fresh tang to a wide range of dishes without overpowering other flavors. Our simple lemon vinaigrette is used in several components of the salad (making preparation that much easier) and it brings out something different in each.minutes or less.
Chunky Tomato and Black Olive Salad
Fresh-tasting and colorful, this salad would go well with pizza bianca or calzones. It would also be delicious tossed with penne for a quick pasta salad.
Radishes Filled with Salmon Roe and Lemon Cream
The hors d¸oeuvres may be made 1-1/2 hours in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.
Prosciutto with Melon
(PROSCIUTTO E MELONE)
The delicate pink cured ham from the hills of the province of Parma is one of Emilia's most important products. Purists insist it should be served on its own or with a slice of bread, but others enjoy it with melon, figs or pears; the sweetness of the fruit sets off the prosciutto's salty tinge perfectly. This simple dish is a classic example. Pour a dry white Albana di Romagna or Trebbiano di Romagna. If you can't find one of those, go for a Verdicchio from the neighboring region of the Marches.
