Panzanella (Tuscan Bread Salad) by Frank Fariello

Panzanella, a Tuscan bread salad, is a great way to use old bread and avoid cooking in hot weather at the same time. And it is so simple to make, too.

Mock «puntarelle» alla romana by Frank Fariello

One 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…

Main Dish Salad With Grilled Chicken Breast and Portobello Mushroom by Bob Vincent

This is a main dish salad comprised of ingredients I needed to use up in the refrigerator. It makes two huge main dish salads. It may be too much for some but could be split to make four smaller portions for a light meal. The combination of…

Caprese Salad. Kathy's twist by Mary Greer

This is a wonderful variation to the traditional caprese salad.

Insalata di arance rosse by Frank Fariello

I recently found some blood oranges from California at the market--and I love blood oranges--so I made a blood orange salad as 'dessert': you just peel and slice the oranges, sprinkle over some black olives (Gaeta or nicoise are best), bits of red onion and parsley. Season with a bit (not much) of salt and pour over un filo d'olio.…

Creamy Italian Dressing by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe in Cuisine At Home. The original used much more sugar which I cut back on. I increased the amount of granulated garlic and added garlic pepper. I also added finely minced parsley for some color. The addition of sugar makes for a slightly sweet dressing. I used it on a main dish salad which had…

Well I actually tried an Italian pasta recipe yesterday. I got this recipe from All Recipes and was very happy with the results. I’ve really…

Ceasar Salad by Chef Smith

Light salad of pineapple and chicken by donato

Who said that light is synonymous with bland? One of my favorite salads is the one with chicken and pineapple, as well as being quick to prepare, like even the most discerning palates, despite the more they approach a bit 'skeptical to a combination meat-fruit-yoghurt. But it is also true that sometimes the best things come out of the…

Hearty and Skinny Antipasto Main Course Salad by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Salad meets antipasto in this colorful, bursting with flavor, main course salad. You’ll love all the different textures and taste sensations. This also works great as a side salad for a large gathering. I’ve made it much skinnier by substituting with reduced-fat salami instead of regular and using artichoke hearts packed in water,…

Basil Tomato Mozzarella Salad by Beth Roan

I'm always trying to find new ways to work vegetables into our menu. I've never really been a tomato fan, until now...

Kale Salad with Radishes, Lemon, and Parmesan by Colleen Mcconnell

Sometimes the simplest foods are the best. Matt and I were blown away by the kale salad we tried at City House in Nashville, and our recreation of it has been in our repertoire ever since.
