Perfect French Side Salad by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a simple tasting but wonderful side salad. The ingredients listed are not that easy to find, but you should feel free to substitute other lettuces and herbs that are available. The green beans are important though...so include them if you can. And the dressing is a must. Mix and enjoy! |

Romaine Salad with Creamy Basil Dressing by John SpottiswoodThe 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 SpottiswoodA 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… |

Butter Lettuce and Avocado salad with Citrus Vinaigrette by John SpottiswoodI'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… |

Creamy Cucumber Salad by Salad FoodieThis refreshing salad is a departure from traditional marinated cucumbers, and perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. Cucumbers may be peeled or not. If seeding them is preferred, add an extra cucumber to make up for the loss of volume. |

Tomato and Avocado Salad by John SpottiswoodThis 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… |

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad by John SpottiswoodI adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper. You could try this with just about any fish with good results I think. I… |

Mock «puntarelle» alla romana by Frank FarielloOne of the dishes I miss most from my Roman days is the winter salad known as le puntarelle. Puntarelle are a kind of chicory native to the countryside around Rome. In fact, the vegetable is sometimes called "Roman chicory" in English. The shoots are rather thick but tender, white at the base and green at their tips. The taste is… |

Tabouli by JoanneThere isn't a side dish that offers a fresher taste than tabouli. The lemon, the parsley...they clean your mouth with garden fresh flavors. Healthy, filling and such a reward to have next to your favorite entree. |

Blue gardenia salad by MichelineThis wonderful salad is the specialty of a restaurant in my area. It is my all time favourite salad. It tastes fantastic and is very garlicky. Because of the 2 cups of oil used for the dressing it has a lot of calories so I simply control the amount of dressing I put on my salad. |
