Hannah's Asian Chicken Strip Salad

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:14:21 -0400

My daughter asked for a chicken salad for dinner tonight. She wanted chicken with light green lettuce leaves. When asked what flavors she wanted on the chicken, she said Asian. So here we have Hannah's Asian Chicken Strip Salad. By the way, she's 8. I don't usually measure my ingredients, I just pour until it looks right so these are guidelines more than actual measurements. -- posted by ButterflyMama

Morgan's Simple Cucumber Tomato Salad

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:55:00 -0400

I make this salad all the time for my kids, and my youngest (Morgan) absolutely loves it. If she eats nothing else on her plate, this salad is always gone. I usually use regular old vine tomatoes, but it's equally good with a pile of halved cherry or grape tomatoes. No matter how you make it, it's ridiculously easy and really yummy. -- posted by Seedbeads

Fresh Cabbage and Tomato Salad

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:09:10 -0400

This recipe was in a brochure from our Health Insurance Company. It sounded good so I tried it and we liked it very much. It is a heart healthy recipe from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Guess that can't hurt...lol. You can make more of the dressing if you like extra flavor from that. We made a double batch of the dressing. Cook time is chill time if you want it chilled, but other than that there is no actual cooking time. Use a small head of cabbage. I couldn't get the software to let me reflect that in the directions or the ingredients. -- posted by OceanLuvinGranny

Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:30:09 -0400

This salad is great. Light, crunchy and pleasantly nutty. After graduating from college this past May and being home looking for a job I got sick of eating the same things everyday so I threw this together for something lighter. I've included what I use below, but this salad lends itself to be pretty flexible. Would be great with sliced grilled chicken on top or shrimp might be good too, with a little squeeze of lime. One warning: this makes quite a lot of salad so unless you are feeding a crowd I wouldn't put the dressing on all of the salad at once... it won't keep (soggy lettuce, soggy crunchies, etc). A good solution would be to bag up single serving portions in ziplock baggies and then top with dressing and crunchies when ready to serve. You could even put them straight into the bag and shake to mix it up before putting on a plate. -- posted by Steph.K

Felfel B'tomatish - Algerian Pepper & Tomato Salad

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:44:27 -0400

This is a classic Algerian 'salad' dish. You can either grill the tomatoes & peppers over an open flame, deep fry them or roast them. My family loves this recipe & we always mop it up with fresh bread! You can also serve this as part of a mezze selection. The vinegar is of course optional but it acts as a flavour enhancer so I do recommend at least trying a little of the salad with a few drops of vinegar on! -- posted by Um Safia

Spanish Green Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and Preserved Lemon

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:29:42 -0400

I was attending a dinner party where the theme was Spanish food, and I was responsible for bringing a salad. The funny thing about Spain is that their salads are either super plain (e.g. a couple of tomatoes and some greens) OR contain meat, in the form of fish or cured ham of some kind. I looked at several different recipes and made up this one. -- posted by bmann

This was something I made up while living on a student budget in Paris, France. This is another example of how the greatest things that come out of the kitchen are not a result of planning. I just looked around at what I had in the cupboard, put them together and it worked! It is a great starter or side dish. One rule though...you MUST add the blue cheese! It is what brings everything together. I kind of think of this as the French version of a caprese salad. -- posted by dk683

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!!

I wanted something that was cool, crunchy, tangy, spicy and a little sweet that would meet my diet requirements and was not your typical diet food. This is my version of a fresh veggie relish/salad that is great alone or when paired with seafood, beef, pork etc... Perfect in a warmed flour tortillas wrap with some shrimp, or a lettuce wrap with a bit of Avacado. It can be used with seafood, chicken, beef or pork as a relish. Or as I like it, alone for lunch. High fiber, low fat and awesome taste. I hope you enjoy it. XOXOXOXOXO Lynn -- posted by Hugsandkisses

Smoked Turkey Gazpacho

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:49:22 -0400

Gazpacho, the classic fresh-vegetable salad from Spain that eats like a soup, usually takes a lot of chopping. In this streamlined recipe, most of the chopping is done for you by using canned tomatoes and vegetable juice. Because vegetable juice is a combination of several vegetables, you get most of the garden-fresh quality of a traditional gazpacho in a single ingredient. By adding some smoked turkey, this traditional light soup serves as a hearty, one-pot main-dish meal. For a spicier gazpacho, add a dash of hot pepper sauce. -- posted by Chef #1365024

Happily, the former outnumber the latter! If you're like me and really love the sweet/sour/salty combination, you'll love this. I serve it at buffet dinners on a big glass tray, with each individual mold atop a curly lettuce leaf, and dolloped with a bit of homemade mayonnaise.

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

The Easiest Ever Carrot-Sesame Salad

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:22:13 -0500

True to its name this is a very easy carrot salad flavored with sesame oil. I found the recipe at justbento.com The salad stays fresh and crunchy even to the next day after making. In fact, the flavor mellows if you let it rest awhile. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Quick-Toss Fruit Slaw

Another recipe from my Publix Grocery "Greenwise" magazine. Easy to make and great for diabetics watching their carbohydrate intake. Use pre-package cole-slaw mix or shred your own. This might also be good using brocolli slaw mix. -- posted by FloridaNative

Bobby's 'slaw (Rob's Coleslaw)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:54:17 -0500

This is one of my favourite dishes, its healthy and tastes great at the same time. Half an apple makes all the difference, as does not grating the cabbage which reduces the slaw to mush. -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Orange Sauce

This recipe tastes just like frozen Indian Trail Cranberry Orange Sauce, which is difficult or impossible to find anymore. It is so easy to make and can be used to make the cranberry jello mold recipe from the Indian Trail carton. -- posted by Sonomawhine

Fresh Cranberry Pecan Salad

This salad is my daughter and mother's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I used to make it every year for the teachers at my children's school--they RAVED over it. After Thanksgiving, I like to have it as a snack over plain yogurt. It is absolutely to die for! -- posted by Chef #738454
