Romaine Salad with Creamy Basil Dressing by John Spottiswood

The crisp inner leaves of romaine lettuce goes wonderfully with this light and creamy basil-infused dressing. We served the same dressing the following night with a more traditional mixed green salad with lettuce, avocado, tomato and cucumber, and that was delicious too. If you're looking for a tasty alternative to a caesar dressing,…

Chopped Salad with Sweet Basil Dressing by John Spottiswood

A few months ago Lora Krulak sent Nancy and I her cookbook Veggies for Carnivores. The small book is packed with a lot of recipes and variations which are tasty and easy to make. One of our favorites was this salad recipe. We've used the dressing on multiple salads now, but the first we tried it on was this chopped salad. We had…

This thinly sliced cucumber and tomato salad is fresh and delicious. Even the dressing is healthy. I usually serve it with my Chicken Biryani recipe. Enjoy!

Butter Lettuce and Avocado salad with Citrus Vinaigrette by John Spottiswood

I'm a sucker for fresh butter lettuce with citrus and avocado. I adapted this recipe (rather major adaptions) from a recipe in the America's Test Kitchen Menu's cookbook. I thought the salad, and the dressing in particular, was just amazing. The mayo, Dijon and honey balance nicely with tanginess of the tangerine juice. If you are…

Chopped Salad by Unknown Chef

Chopped salad is my Babe's favorite salad style. There are many ingredients to choose from and I have fun choosing them. I chop the ingredients using my chef’s knife instead of a device, makes me feel connected to Babe when she is eating. I make a chopped salad every Saturday so we can enjoy for weekend lunch, take to work as lunch…

Love this summer/fall salad! All organic veggies from the farms of the North Fork, Long Island - NY.

Tomato and Avocado Salad by John Spottiswood

This is a wonderful salad. Steeping the avocado in the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper for an hour before serving is a real key to the flavor. We served this with small but flavorful tomatoes, so instead of the presentation recommended below, we just tossed everything together and served it. If I had big slices of heirloom…

Salad - Colorful by Unknown Chef

I started making salads decades ago during the summer we dropped a pool in the backyard. Our house became the summer weekend getaway for family and friends. What's a pool-side picnic without salad? What's a salad without a bouquet of colors? A hearty salad can be the base for a healthful lunch or dinner when paired with a…

The other type of samphire that is available in the U.S. is known as salicornia. It grows in abundance along both coasts. Fresh sea beans…
