Green Goddess Dressing
One of my favorite salad dressings (sandwich spread, roasted chicken sauce) is Green Goddess. It is full of herb, lemon and garlic flavors. I make my Green Goddess Dressing in the blender – super easy – and store it in a mason jar in the refrigerator so it’s always ready to top a green salad, […]
Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Summers in Virginia can be super hot. That’s when it’s just to hot to cook and I look for easy breezy recipes that do not require turning on my oven. One of my favorite “cool” recipes is Mediterranean Couscous Salad.
Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream Dill Dressing
The perfect summer salad. Crisp English cucumber with red onion and French radishes. If you cannot find French radishes at your local farmers market, you can substitute traditional radishes sliced thinly on a mandoline.
Summer Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette
My Summer Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for grilled peach salad or a bibb lettuce salad (bibb lettuce mixed with thinly sliced radishes, cucumber and crumbled goat or feta cheese, with a few toasted pistachios on top).
Cantaloupe Prosciutto Salad with Vine-ripened Raspberry Balsamic Glaze
Enjoy this refreshing flavorful salad when melon and peaches are in their peak season. The melon and peaches have fresh fruity flavor while the prosciutto adds a touch of salt along with a bit of sweetness from the balsamic vinegar. The raspberry balsamic glaze is much lighter than the heavy traditional balsamic glaze and it’s […]
Baby Bok Choy Salad with Ramen Noodle Almond Crunchy Topping
One of my all time favorite salads! So crunchy with delightful Asian flavors. Great salad for a dinner party or a light summer supper.
Tuscan Herb Ranch Tomatoes
It’s summertime which means it’s Garden Tomato Time! I love fresh red ripe tomatoes in the summer. One of my favorite ways to serve them is my Tuscan Herb Ranch Tomatoes which also highlights the fabulous flavors of fresh herbs from my garden. The tomatoes need to chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours, which […]
Cornbread Salad in Mason Jars
Mason jars are such a fun way to serve salads. One of my favorite mason jar salads is Cornbread Salad – a Southern specialty. Chili in a mason jar – your favorite chili recipe, chilled, then layered with crumbled cornbread, sour cream, green onions and salsa is a fun treat to serve at a picnic […]
Tricolor Quinoa Tabbouleh with Garlic Thyme Pita Chips
I love Tabbouleh, but it is often hard to find bulgur wheat in our local grocery stores. I substituted tricolor quinoa and found it to be very tasty and less “chewy” in texture. Fabulous flavor and healthy too!
Bacon and Blue Spinach Salad
This lovely salad is full of fresh berries and is perfect to serve in the summer months when berries abound at the farmers market or in the chilly winter season when delicious berries are available at the grocery.
