A traditional Slavic dish: Olivier salad
This is a traditional recipe for the parties and holidays in Slavic countries. No one knows where it came to former Soviet countries from, (we were a huge country with closed borders for decades), but this was the main salad of every celebration in almost every family for decades. I cook this salad very rarely and mainly in autumn and winter, as I consider this salad too conservative and even boring to cook it…
Toad Skin Melon and Stone Fruit Salad
A refreshing fruit salad with a lime jalapeño honey drizzle kick. From the original site: Hey! Look at that. I made you a salad. It’s a toad skin and stone salad to be prescise. Not a real toad, silly. The melon skin resembles toad skin. Not real stones, goofy. That’s what you call fruit with pits.
Fresh Asparagus and White Bean Salad
An incredible fresh summer salad with red bell peppers, white beans and asaparagus! Dressed with a light dressing. From the original site: While the beans are cooking, combine the red bell pepper and the asparagus in a medium pan, cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. To make the dressing, whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bo…
Fresh Corn Salad with Spicy Shrimp and Tomatoes
This stunning salad is so summer. Made with fresh tomatoes, corn and bell pepper, it almost made me forget that it’s 99 degrees outside today. I love the bright colors. My grandmother always said that you should try to always make sure your table is multi-colored – never put out a meal that is monochromatic! It’s dressed with a zesty mixture of lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile pep…
Mini Salmon Burgers over Spinach Salad
Does a healthy and quick (under 30 minutes) dinner, made primarily from what I had on hand in my pantry sound good? + That’s what this dinner was, and it was a change of pace, tasty, and approved by both husband and 5 year old as good eats. I’ve made similar patties using canned tuna, previously, so if you don’t have canned salmon on hand, try this with tuna instead… Mini Salmon Burg…
Brussels Sprouts & Toasted Pumpkin Seed Salad
Check out this unusual brussels sprouts recipe from The Taste Traveller … Brussels sprouts, Parmesan cheese, and roasted nuts make this sound just lovely. Are you thinking about your menu for Christmas? Well, here’s a fresh idea for those poor, often unloved brussels sprouts and a different way to serve them with any meal this fall or winter. Raw brussels sprouts? That’s right. I go…
Quick Fix: Mixed-Mushroom Salad
Sometimes you need a meal you can pull together out of just what happens to be in your cabinets. This is one of those meals… The other day I found several jars of marinated mushrooms, at the Dollar Store of all places. I picked up several different kinds… the one here was a mix of different mushroom types, which makes it even more interesting, but regular marinated mushrooms work as well. The nice…
Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad
Next in our series of ‘overlapping meals‘, here is a wonderful Asian inspired main dish salad that is quick to prepare on a hot summer evening. I love this cross between a pasta dish and a salad! This was inspired by Vietnamese Noodle Salads, but it draws on similar sauce and techniques from our Pad Thai. It uses some of the same ingredients as well (use up the rest of your noodles, and more of yo…
Beet Salad with Goat Cheese
This is an excellent salad recipe that I posted at my Gaia’s Greens website a couple of weeks ago when we had beets in our organic produce boxes. It is quickly becoming a favorite in my house!! The combination of flavors is just perfect and it’s fast and easy to make. So many people avoid beets because they don’t know how to prepare them, but this recipe makes it as simple as you can…
Quick Dinner Idea: The Bacon Dinner Salad
Brainstorming on what’s for dinner? A tasty and hearty dinner salad is a easy light dinner, perfect for a summer evening when you don’t really want to cook. Well, I did cook Bacon for this one, but hey.. it’s BACON! Salads are great way to use up leftovers. Have 1 chicken breast left over from dinner yesterday? Chopped up it can top several salads. In fact, I like to plan for this by cooking…
