Mixed with mayonnaise and fruit preserves, our Sweet Ginger Dressing Mix replaces ordinary mayonnaise in fruit and chicken, turkey or ham salad sandwich fillings. The fruit preserves reinforce the flavor of whatever fruit is chosen for the salad (apricots, cherries, Craisins, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, etc.). This gives you the most versatile options and delicious dishes ever.
Sweet Ginger Chicken & Apricot Salad is pictured on French bread. Sweet Ginger Chicken & Cherry Salad (dressing made with cherry preserves for a double hit of cherries) is pictured in a croissant. Or pile filling into phyllo shells or tortilla "scoops" for Sweet Ginger Chicken & Cherry Canapès (pictured) for an exquisite summer appetizer.
TIP: Kick the sandwiches up a notch with a good dab of Dijon mustard – just delicious!
The sandwich fillings can also be served on a bed of lettuce or sliced melon. Chicken & Apricot Salad is pictured mounded on butter lettuce.
OTHER GREAT WAYS TO USE THIS DRESSING:
Pourable Buttermilk Dressing: This mix makes a completely stunning pourable creamy dressing for summer salads. It’s mixed with mayonnaise, fruit preserves and buttermilk. Absolutely amazing on field green salads with chicken, (salmon or smoked turkey too), red onion rings and dried, canned, frozen or fresh fruit (apricots, cherries, strawberries or whatever is in season or in your pantry). Sweet Ginger Turkey and Apricot Green Salad (rehydrated dried apricots used in salad, apricot preserves used in dressing) is pictured as a dinner salad and appetizer salads.
TIP: Save time by using chopped deli smoked turkey (used in pictures).
Recipes for Leftovers: Use any of the above recipes for leftover pork with apricots or peaches, and leftover ham with cherries or pineapple. TIP: If you can’t find pineapple preserves, use pineapple sundae topping to taste.
Celebrate Cranberries: We’ve created a new salad to celebrate cranberry season, but there’s no reason not to enjoy this combination year round. We’ve used chicken, Crasins® and scallions for our salad ingredients. We used cranberry sauce (instead of preserves) in the dressing. The result is a delightful, beautiful dressing that can be mixed with mayo & buttermilk to dress a tossed salad, or mayo only to serve either chicken salad mounded on a bed of lettuce (pictured) or as a sandwich filling (pictured).
The salads, sandwiches and appetizers are quick and easy to prepare. They’re tasty, and they offer a totally new flavor profile for hungry summer party guests. Keep it healthy by using Polinar® Sugar Free with Fiber Preserves or Smuckers® Sugar-Free Preserves with Splenda® (apricot preserves used in photo of green salad). These dishes are also delicious with smoked turkey or leftover turkey instead of chicken.
