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,…

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.

The logic was that, after so many days of Lenten abstinence and fasting, the body needed the sort of revitalization provided by a combination of greens. The old Creole women…

The popular combo of bacon, lettuce and tomato stars in this crowd-pleasing pasta salad. Instead of chopping the cooked bacon, try cutting it with kitchen scissors for thin, even pieces.

Sauteed Swiss Chard with Onions by K. Garner

This is Yummy and makes your Swiss Chard taste the best it can. This is a four-star recipe from Epicurious. The picture shows brown bits that might be mistaken for bacon; those are the caramelized onion pieces. By the way, I fixed a baked potato with butter and sour cream and put a mound of this on top; it pretty much rocked.

Grandma W's Cooked Coleslaw Dressing by Renee Bryant

A tangy sweet dressing. One recipe will make two batches using 16 oz. pre-shredded bags of cabbage. Toss your preferred dressing amount with cabbage just prior to eating.

Spinach & Artichoke Cassarole by LIsa

A great side dish with that does double duty. Leftovers make a great spinach Artichoke dip when you add creme cheese and reheat. Use real butter but low fat subs are fine otherwise. Shaker Parmesan is also fine for this recipe.
