Everyone's grills are working overtime and life is good! But sometimes you just want a nice cool salad for dinner, right? Well, today "The Invisible Chef" Mark French, shares a wonderful Seafood salad and a Fruit Pizza for dessert with us. He uses a Thousand Island Dressing on it and shares that recipe as well. One of the ingredients in the dressing is a Cocktail Sauce. The recipe makes more than you'll need for the salad dressing, so steam some shrimp and have a Shrimp Cocktail for an appetizer. All of this weeks recipes and many more are on a very nice CD available at his website, http://www.frenchbrothers.com I own a copy and it's really nicely done. Pictures of the dishes are breathtaking and there are even links to specialty products. -------------------------------------------------- Seafood Salad Jewels from the sea gently nestled in lettuce.

INGREDIENTS: 2 portions 1 sheet puff pastry 1/2 cup blackberries, thinly sliced 1/2 cup raspberries 1/2 papaya, thinly sliced 2 figs, thinly sliced 1 kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur 1/4 cup sugar Slice the strawberries, figs, papaya, and kiwis and set aside. Cut out 2 circles of puff pastry. One of the circles is solid and the other a ring. Place the ring on top of the solid piece; this becomes your crust. Poke holes in bottom using a fork. (This keeps bubbles from forming.) Sprinkle with sugar. Purée the raspberries with the Grand Marnier. Next, purée the blackberries and sweeten with sugar if necessary. Simmer both sauces separately until they thicken. Set aside to cool. To assemble pizza, place the raspberry sauce in center of the pizza and spread evenly. Top with the kiwi, strawberries, figs, raspberries and papaya. Arrange in a spiral design. Place the pizza on a cookie sheet in the center of the oven. Bake in a 400º oven for 12 minutes. Cut into quarters and drizzle the blackberry purée over the top. Serve warm. -------------------------------------------------- How About Free Hot Sauce For A Year??
