First, let’s get something straight. The Goddess loves chicken salad. She’s never met one she didn’t like, except for that one with chocolate chips in it. It turns out that chocolate doesn’t make everything taste better! Continue reading

This is another KayJay invention. This is a nice winter salad. It’s more substantial than its leafier counterparts, can be made ahead and doesn’t go all limp and mushy. Belgian endive have a slight, but pleasant bitterness that just works with KayJay’s Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette. Continue reading

The Goddess has never met an onion she doesn’t like. She LOVES onions. It’s that simple. She loves them caramelized; onions add sweetness to dishes, when caramelized. She love them raw; raw onions add crunch and freshness. Is there anything better than raw onions on a burger? Sauté onions just a bit, but leave them with some texture; they are lovely in onion soup or piled on top of steak or eaten right out of the skillet! She seems to lean toward Walla Walla, Vidalia, but leeks, scallions, shallots are all high on her list, too. And of course, the beautiful and tasty red onions we’re using here. Continue reading

Celery is an underrated vegetable. We haul it out when we diet and when we have Buffalo wings (who knew buffalo could fly!) or we make soup, but otherwise it tends to languish in the crisper drawer, until you’re pulling out a bag of slime and looking for the garbage can. This has happened to you and you know it. No more, I tell you. Celery is a great vegetable, not to be ignored. It can be a star and salads are a great place to start. Continue reading

I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! Continue reading

The Youngest One brought some homemade sausage from Vermont and that just says, “Grill, baby, grill”! Potato salad seemed like a good idea and since the grill was going anyway, why not grill the potatoes? And the onions, too? Turns out, that was my one good idea for the day! Continue reading

Black rice, Emperor’s Rice or Forbidden rice are all the same thing. Apparently, many years ago when China was ruled by Emperors, this rice could only be eaten by him and was “forbidden” for all others. Thank goodness things have changed. Continue reading

Ramen noodles, the old stand-by late night snack of college students, but in a salad. Some iteration of this salad has been around for a number of years. This version runs smack-dab into peanut noodles. Who knew Ramen could be so good? Continue reading

This most enjoyable combination of flavors is not only delicious, and that it is, but it can be served as either a salad or as a warm side dish. The Goddess loves the duality of this delightfully, deliriously delicious dish. Continue reading
