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!

Gratin of Spinach and Roquefort by Crissy Gershey

Bubbling with warm, creamy Roquefort, this gratin brings together the classic combination of spinach, blue cheese and eggs. Comforting like a savory bread pudding, this Gratin of Spinach and Roquefort begs to be part of the Thanksgiving tradition.

Sauteed Kale with Bacon and Cashews by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious recipe for sauteed Kale. If you are vegetarian, you can leave out the bacon and you will still have a delicious side dish. This also makes a beautiful presentation to accompany any main dish. The green of the kale contrasts beautifully with the golden color of the toasted cashews.

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.

Spinach and Mozzarella Pockets by Michelle

Whoever created Pillsbury Crescent Rolls is a genius. Yes, they make good rolls, but you can make so many different recipes with them, including this super fast spinach and mozzarella pockets. I eat these for dinner or take them to work and heat them in the microwave the next day. Either way you eat them, they taste excellent, and…

Chicken Ceaser Salad by Bob Vincent

We love Ceaser Salad. I have added several ingredients to a basic "Vanilla" salad that makes it an easy meal for a weeknight. 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…

Green Salad by Jenne Kopalek

Balsamic Vinegrette Salad Dressing by lhuffman

This dressing is a crowd pleaser. Is has a lot of flavor and works best with baby spinach as the main greens. I have a few different variations of added ingredients including: candied pecans or candied walnuts, craisens, blue cheese or feta cheese, sliced red onion, croutons, mandarin oranges, bosch pears, strawberries and…
