Roasted Corn & Tomato Salad with Basil Balsamic Dressing by Amos Miller

Super simple Summer salad! Almost a relish, yet offering opportunity for countless variations, this is picnic & BBQ perfect. On these hot summer days, you may not want to fire up the broiler, but this salad is so easy to bring together that when the coals are ready on the grill, just lay the unhusked ears of sweet corn over the…

Citrus and Avocado Salad by John Spottiswood

This was one of my favorite salads growing up. My grandmother would serve it in a butter lettuce leaf cup with just grapefruit, avocado, and a light vinegarette. This version has a bit more too it, and is equally good.

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…

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…

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…

Creamy, crunchy, spicy and sweet, this salad covers all the flavor bases and provides a wonderful base for the linked Ginger Sesame Salmon recipe. It's beautiful too.

Carrot, Pineapple and Blueberry Salad ~ Easy & Healthy! by Salad Foodie

“Healthy IS as healthy DOES”, as the saying goes. This salad is one of the healthiest I prepare because there’s no added fat, salt or sweetener of any kind. The canned pineapple tidbit juice acts as the sole "dressing" - period! Not only is it good for you, but it is so easy to make, and keeps well refrigerated several days. Take…

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

Mediterranean Summer Salad by Amos Miller

This Spanish-influenced salad is refreshing anytime you have it - from a dinner party to a picnic lunch. Bright notes of lime and cilantro. the wonderful pairing of sweet onion and navel orange, the sensuously smooth silkiness of avocado and tomato, all set off by the crisp crunch of toasted almond slices and the elegant earthiness…

Italian Penne Pasta Salad by daphne sy

I thought I’d try a new type of posts – since I read so many food blogs myself, I always end up bookmarking tons of recipes I want to try. You can find all of them on my Delicious account. 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…

I make this salad at least once a month and for potluck dinners, parties, holidays, etc. I am asked to make this frequently by friends and relatives. There are never any leftovers. When I make it for myself, I share it with my neighbor next door.
