I love chicken salad. And I imagine you are pretty sick and tired of hearing about what The Goddess loves, as it seems to be everything, doesn’t it? What can I say? She’s an open-minded eater and a culinary adventurer. Damn, that sounds much better than reality, because she’s pretty much willing to try anything at least once. But, chicken salad is a never-to-be-passed-up dish, and this is a fantastic combination. Just as an aside, leftover Thanksgiving turkey is delicious here, too…. Continue reading
The Brazilians add corn to things. We don’t usually add corn to our hot dogs, but they do…Yup, hot dogs. As well as, those yummy little potato sticks. So, this is different, but it is a wonderful version of chicken salad. It’s creamy, has a nice pure flavor, a little crunch at the end. It’s just flat-out delicious. 
I was eating a dill pickle the other day, and thinking about potato salad. Who knows why? But, that was what I was doing. And the more this thought wandered aimlessly around my head, the more ideas came to me…this salad it the result of that wander. 
Eggs, garden tomatoes, arugula and cloaked in a light mayonnaise sauce…what could be better to start off a meal? Or for lunch, with good bread? I was reminded of this bistro favorite, in an article in The New Yorker, and I’m so very glad it nudged my memory. This is a delicious way to kick off a summer meal, when the tomatoes are prime and the temperature peaks. 
This is a summer salad if there ever was one. It’s perfect when the temperature soars, as it’s been doing here in the Carolinas, so this seems like the perfect dinner, giving me a delicious, quick, cold meal loaded with flavor, giving me just that little extra time I need to unpack more boxes…Yippee!!! 
This is a nice, fruity and lighter version of cole slaw. In summer, I like to add mango, pineapple, peaches, or nectarines to cole slaw. I dress this version with a sweet chile vinaigrette, which compliments the fruit just ever-so nicely. It’s summery. 
This little summer salad is crisp, cold and just perfect for a hot summer day. Excellent with pork, but really, it works with almost anything. We had it with Shrimp in Scotch-Cream Sauce with Cilantro and Garlic. It was delicious. 
In my recipe box, this is called “Southern Confetti Salad”. And it does look like confetti, doesn’t it? But, that doesn’t really tell us much about this salad. It is a great option for a summer picnic salad, as it’s both easy and can sit out for a bit. But, it’s just as good in the dead of winter, with two feet of snow on the ground. Did I mention that it’s also delicious? 
This is a beautiful salad. It positively screams “Spring”! It’s green…really green. And it has texture, as well as a velvety quality from the lettuces. The
