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…

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing by Nancy Miyasaki

A simple but fantastic salad with a very nice dressing. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add depth and flavor to this salad. We all really enjoyed this. Another amazing dish from my good friend Marci Chan!

Favorite Creamy Coleslaw by Frosted Flaker

For me, this has just the right balance of slaw to dressing. A true creamy slaw delight. Keep in mind this produces a VERY creamy version of coleslaw. To reduce the creaminess, simply add a bit more cabbage.

Guacamole by Beth Roan

Thank goodness colors have changed since the 70's. Remember when guacamole green was the color of most people's kitchens?? My sister and her boyfriend had a guacamole cook-off and Kyle's was the winner. I had been scared of guacamole ever since I was about 8. I finally decided to try it and I have to say it was way better than what I…

Simple Cucumber and Tomato Salad by Nancy Miyasaki

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!

Shaved Farmers Market Vegetable Salad by Erica Holland-Toll

This can be made as an appetizer salad or as part of my New York Steak 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…

Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness…

Handmade Guacamole by Denise Romeo

It wouldn't be "Taco Night" without homemade guacamole. I use copious amounts of cilantro in my recipe. I hope you like it as much as we do!

Carrot Salad by Patrick Travis

A very quick and easy salad that goes well on a hot day.

Old Fashioned Cucumber Salad with White Vinegar by K. Garner

Old fashioned recipe my mother-in-law used to make. She was hard pressed to give me exact amounts. She slices her cucumber first and then adds the wet ingredients to cover it. In other words, there is no recipe. If you need an exact recipe, see the link provided. It's very close

The Perfect Organic Salad by Kimberly

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

Four C Coleslaw by Salad Foodie

This is my version of a coleslaw I tasted many years ago at a catered event. It's close but not precisely the same. However it's a refreshing change from those familiar too-creamy coleslaws. The salad base is made up of 4 vegetables that start with the letter C, hence the recipe name. Cabbage, corn, cucumber, and cilantro team up…
