My Grandma has been making this calamari salad for all the years I can remember at our traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
Healthy Salads
Chile Pasta Salad
Cold salad with a bit of zip! Can easily be a main dish for a light lunch. Serve on lettuce leaves if desired.
Cucumber and Blue Cheese Salad
This salad is very fast and easy to make and has great flavor. This is my favorite salad to have on a hot summer day. It’s refreshing and I know that I’m getting a good dose of veggies.
Lemon Tabouli
A large bag of lemons, and the mint right outside the kitchen door inspired me to create this dish.
Fruity Tuna Salad
This amazingly good salad combines tuna, dates, celery, apple, yogurt, onion, lemon and curry. Serve with lettuce leaves.
Colorful Bulgur Salad
A delicious salad. The bulgur is cooked in chicken broth which gives it a hearty flavor. And the dressing is pungent and wonderful. All the veggies – tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers – blend in beautifully, and the whole salad comes alive when chilled.
Christmas Cinnamon Pears
This is one of our family’s favorites at Christmas. It not only tastes great, it is beautiful on any holiday plate. This recipe is very simple and everyone will want to know how you made it.
Panzanella
Toasted bread and colorful fresh veggies are tossed with a light dressing in this Italian salad. Of course, you can add or take away ingredients to your liking!
Dandelion Salad
This is a very good use of all those annoying dandelions growing in your yard. Just so long as you don’t have a dog! Top with your favorite dressing. I prefer hot bacon dressing!
Easy Bean Salad
An easy, delicious cold bean salad. A big hit at barbeques and football parties! Use any 3-bean combination. Red beans are also really nice in this salad!
Jicama, Carrot, and Green Apple Slaw
Flavorful take on an old bbq standby. Other seasonings can be added as well, depending on preference. I find that chili powder adds a nice kick. Serve right after tossing if you prefer a nice crunchy slaw or let marinade in the fridge for an hour before dishing up. Great with grilled veggies, Mexican style corn on the cob, and smoked chicken breast.
Barley Lime Fiesta Salad
Got this at ShopRite® and loved it so much I had to make it. This is what I came up with. I had this alongside my smoked chicken and bacon with avocado spread sandwich. Perfect complement! All the ingredients for the vinaigrette are by eye and to taste.
Red Cabbage-Asparagus Salad with Tahini Dressing
Crispy, colorful, tangy and delicious. This salad is quick to throw together and is super healthy!
