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,…

Sweet, Sour & Salty

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…

Chinese Chicken Salad by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a tasty Chinese chicken salad that I've adapted and added to over time. The original recipe did not call for cabbage, but I like the crunch it gives. Enjoy!

Shaved Brussels Sprout and Farro Salad by John Spottiswood

This recipe is adapted from one by Susan Spungen. I thought it was phenomenal. If you can't find Farro, you coud substitute brown rice or pearl barley, but get Farro if you can. It's wonderful. You might consider serving this as a side for Thanksgiving. It would make a great addition.

Blue gardenia salad by Micheline

This 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.

Chicken Ceaser Salad by Bob Vincent

If you are concerned about using raw egg as an emulisifer use a heaping tablespoon of mayo instead. The salad dressing is adapted from one that appeared in Time-Life Books "The Good Cook/Salads" published in…

Grilled Vegetable Salad by Mihir Shah

Inspired by The Ivy in Santa Monica, this is a wonderful spring salad that can be served as a side to grilled meats or as a main for lunch or a light dinner. I think the grilled corn makes the dish. Can also add grilled and chopped chicken to create a full meal.
