Cheese Salad
"From A Taste of Switzerland. A creamy cheese and radish salad, offset by a sharp, mustardy dressing. The author suggests serving this with boiled potatoes. If you can't find Tilsiter cheese, try Appenzeller, Vacherin, or Gruyere."

I loved this colorful salad. The dressing was pleasantly tangy. I made this using the gruyere cheese since Tilsiter cheese is not readily available here. Thanx for posting! -
What a delicious salad! A great combination of textures and flavors in this fresh tasting salad. Made with Edam cheese ( I love Tilsiter but was unable to source it) for the Food Photos and German Forum tag games. Thank you, Ingrid, for sharing this great salad with us! -
I have to admit, I wasn't sure about this recipe, but was pleasantly surprised! Made for ZWT7 and the Saucy Silverados. -
This salad was surprising! It took on an "apple-like taste after marinating! I thought it was too oily and a bit bitter, so I upped the vinegar and the sugar to our tastes. It was even better the next day, nice and crunchy! ZWT7-Shady Ladies
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets.
We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends.
In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines.
Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy.
For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them.
I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline.
