This might be my new favorite salad….so good! We have a deli downtown that makes a very good Thai Broccoli Salad, which I will often have for lunch when I am at work. One day, I decided to ask them for the recipe…thinking they probably would not give it to me, however, it never hurts [...]

Having leftover cooked chicken in the fridge can be a godsend on busy days. This salad makes such an easy delicious lunch, or dinner for that matter. With fresh spring greens, ripe avocados and fresh lime juice – a perfect match of ingredients.
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken – cut into cubes
1 large avocado cut into [...]

Ever since I made my Marinated Vegetable Salad – it seems to be the only kind of salad I want. With so much fresh produce still available – it’s the perfect end of the summer salad. They are so colorful and fresh tasting too.
This salad was made in the morning and refrigerated. I tossed the [...]

What a busy summer it has been, and early fall is proving to be not much different. Phew…I have had a number of posts to share, and somehow life has intervened.
Remember the post I did about the lovely lady whom I bought the garlic from? Then she gifted me with the most beautiful dried Oregano? [...]

This past week has been very busy for me at work. Usually I will pack a lunch with me, which I did this particular day. I ended up working an extra 3 hours this day which I had not anticipated, so I stopped by a deli to buy a vegetable salad. Dang….it was awful. Big [...]

Every once in a while I have a huge craving for shellfish. As my [...]

Oh how I live for summer! This is such a simple, beautiful, and tasty salad to have during the summer. Using yellow and red tomatoes gives this salad such vibrant color. The key to this salad is to marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, then remove from the fridge to come to [...]

This is one of those salads that is great for a pot luck, or served for lunch or dinner or as a side dish. A hearty vegetarian dish that is fresh and delicious too. Originally I was going to make a vegetarian lettuce wrap, but ended up putting it all together – so good. I [...]

This recipe came about as a result of having leftovers. I can’t bear to throw away food. There were two egg yolks in the fridge, leftover Chimichurri Sauce, a lowly quarter of a cabbage – all needing to be used up. I always said I would never make homemade Mayonnaise or Aioli, because I always [...]

Wow. I think I might just live on this salad for the rest of my life. Hearty, flavorful, with lots of healthy goodness included.
I met someone recently, who abhors avocado, cilantro, and especially, feta cheese. Three of some of my favorite ingredients. To not like avocado? The other two, I can see – it seems [...]
