Caribbean Slaw

Caribbean Pork Roast

Caribbean Slaw Recipe

This Caribbean slaw recipe uses a Kale Beet salad blend from Mann’s.  You can keep it as simple as the blend or add some of your own favorite ingredients like jalapeno, radishes or jicama. In this recipe, I kept it simple. When you are out boating, you don’t typically have the space nor the time to prep a lot of meals in the galley. That’s why I love these pre-made salad blends when we stay on the boat.

Scott and I love the Caribbean Islands and we plan on retiring there some day. We fell in love with the culture during our honeymoon to Antigua in 2003. Since I love to cook and entertain, Caribbean cuisine is at the top of my list (along with Italian food).

Food Pairings

This slaw recipe goes with almost anything “Caribbean”. It would go great with jerk pork chops, grilled salmon and Caribbean pork roast. Because the slaw has honey in it, it tones down spicy dishes that you pair with it.  It’s also very flavorful and refreshing on a hot summer day! Enjoy.

Smoked Salmon Potato Chip Appetizers Recipe

For your next gathering, be sure to make these smoked salmon potato chip appetizers! They are so easy, elegant and perfect for entertaining on your boat or during your next cocktail party. In this recipe, I use lox style smoked salmon. it’s much more delicate and the presentation is gorgeous. One of my favorite smoked salmon brands lox style is Echo Falls Beechwood Smoked Atlantic Canape’ Slice Salmon. You can find it at your local grocery store.

There are many appetizers out there that are beautiful & tasty, but the prep time can really be an issue. What I love about this recipe, is you can whip it together in just a few minutes. You can even make ahead and refrigerate about 45 minutes before serving. Folks will gobble these up, so plan on making at least four chips per person.

Most galleys are on a boat are small and don’t offer a lot of prep space. That’s why I try to make items that don’t require mixing bowls or lots of counter space.  If you have a favorite recipe that you make on your boat, please share with us.  Enjoy! Scott & Ally
