Cpk's Grilled Vegetable Salad - My Version

Sun, 17 May 2009 02:45:06 -0400

I had this salad at California Pizza Kitchen in Charlotte NC, and it blew me away! I couldn't find a recipe for it, so here's my attempt at recreating it. I used the ingredient list in their menu (and photo) for inspiration. It can be served without chicken or steak for vegetarian for a very satisfying salad. Posted for safekeeping.

Mexican Layered Salad

Thu, 21 May 2009 02:09:29 -0400

This sounds like a light, Mexican version of the classic Seven-Layered Salad. You could add black beans, chicken breast, or other protein to make it more filling, if you wanted to serve it as a main-course salad. I think a mixture of sour cream and mayo would also be good in the dressing, and I think sliced olives would be nice on top, too. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

Marmie's Taco Salad

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:54:09 -0400

This taco salad is perfect for a potluck or a lovely summer meal! I constantly get requests to make this salad. Easily prepared ahead of time and tossed together at the last minute. I am not sure where the original idea came from for this recipe but it has truly 'morphed' into one of our family favorites. Absolutely versatile and forgiving should you be missing an ingredient or two...just use your imagination and substitute. The key ingredient is the sauce!!! It is crazy easy to make and tastes fantastic!! Way less costly than 'Catalina' dressing and a hundred times tastier. Sadly though I have not figured out how to make it diet friendly.. For a vegetarian version I use a variety of beans and omit the ground beef... equally as delicious. Prep time includes cooking the beef. Enjoy. -- posted by Marmie's

Bibb Salad With Basil Green Goddess Dressing

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:37:37 -0400

Green goddess dressing was invented in the 1920's at San Francisco's Palace Hotel as a tribute to William Archer's hit play, The Green Goddess. It gets it's bright green color from lots of fresh green herbs. This dressing was originally made with tarragon, but has been updated with basil, which actually has more flavor! Delicious on green salad, but also great served with vegetables like asparagus and broccoli. Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook. -- posted by Sharon123

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Red, White, and Blue (Berry) Green Salad

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:50:06 -0400

This recipe is more about assembly than actual cooking. (I mostly wanted to post my pics, which are pretty!) I had store-bought Romaine and Aerogarden -grown mixed greens, as well as strawberries and blueberries, needing to be eaten, so I made this salad (a variation of the usual strawberry-feta salads). I also put Recipe#49956 on it, but any bottled raspberry vinegrette will work. Also, it would be good with sliced chicken, avocado, onion, etc on top, or made with spinach. Feel free to enjoy it on the 4th, or any day! -- posted by Belinda in Austin, TX

Chilled Summer Lettuce, Lovage and Garden Pea Soup

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:25:38 -0400

A delightful and refreshing chilled soup for summer - this savoury soup takes its flavour from freshly chopped lovage leaves, which impart a savoury, lemony and celery-like taste. I like to serve this pale green soup in clear glass bowls for maximum impact, with a few chopped leaves sprinkled on top and a swirl of cream. This soup makes an elegant starter for any summer event or a light luncheon dish. Do not be tempted to add more lovage then is suggested, it is a very strong flavoured herb and can be overpowering if used with a heavy hand! -- posted by French Tart

Mixed Herb Salad With Borage : La Salade De Plusieurs Herbes

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:58:51 -0400

A delightful old French salad recipe, which uses fresh aromatic herbs with fresh lettuce leaves and a simple dressing. Serve this with poached salmon or cold chicken for an elegant dinner party dish. Adapted from a 16th century French translation of a book originally written in Latin in 1474. NB: Borage is an excellent culinary herb and can be used in a variety of ways. Borage is far better used fresh, as the flavour and colour deteriorate when dried and some essential oils lost. Traditional recipes recommend borage leaves and seeds, together with fennel in salads for increasing the milk supply in nursing mothers. The leaves and flowers are still added for flavour and garnish to wine cups, Pimms and gin-based summer cocktails and the flowers are still candied for confectionary as cake and ice cream decorations. -- posted by French Tart

Korean Beef Salad

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:08:38 -0400

I got this from a Sunset magazine about 15 years ago and having lost it and found it several times, I'm finally putting it in here for sanity's sake! The recipe calls for sliced deli roast beef, but I've used leftover steak or roast and it's great. The veggies can be played with too--cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, bean sprouts have all worked well. It's very refreshing and no cooking! Prep time doesn't include the marinating time. (I've marinated it for about an hour, and that's still enough time) -- posted by DeeCooks

Seafood Cobb Salad With a Florida Twist

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:25:31 -0400

This is classic Cobb salad flavors, but a definite twist. Smokey turkey bacon, mango, seafood (crab, lobster and or shrimp) and a fresh citrus vinaigrette, but just as good. Now for expense reasons, I love shrimp and crab, but by all means, use lobster for the ultimate if you want. I try to use some good crab (canned is fine) as well as some great shrimp from your local grocer. You can even use some grilled salmon which is just as fine for this. I love this elegant salad. You can vary the greens if you want some fresh spring greens, arugula or even watercress, but I happen to like romaine for my salad. Also I like to use the classic flavors of egg, bacon, tomatoes, but I love to add some onions to the salad base and then the fruit gives it a nice twist with the seafood and the citrus vinaigrette is a nice change. I still top with gorgonzola for the bleu cheese lovers for some of that basic flavor and then top with with fine chopped walnuts for some crunch. But have fun, use your favorites... nothing wrong with changing it up a bit. Yes lots of ingredients, but nothing hard, just some chopping involved, but it makes a great hearty salad. Fun for entertaining. Serve a nice bowl of fresh soup to start and then some homemade bread with the salad ... that is a very hearty dinner and a nice change from heavy pastas, sauces and casseroles. But I'm a big salad person, so I love it and it is always a crowd pleaser. This makes 4-6 nice full size salads or 8 smaller salads for an starter. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Italian Green Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:19:56 -0400

This is my usual green salad to go with dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, carbonara, etc. My husband doesn't like black olives, so those are usually on the side so I can have plenty! :) I generally make a really basic vinaigrette, with just olive oil, red wine or balsamic vinegar, salt, and Italian herbs. -- posted by CraftScout

Yummy salad that's easy to do. I like to use a mix that has frisée and radicchio in it because the bitter pairs well with the sweetness from the walnuts. -- posted by Jencathen
