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. Continue reading

Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. Continue reading

I picked up a bag of broccoli slaw, when the store was out of regular slaw. I’m so glad I did. I love the stuff, but The Goddess has never met a piece of broccoli she didn’t love. There must be a little Italian blood in her veins, rather than the rumored ice water. Continue reading

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

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

Since it snowed today, the first day of Spring, I decided it was still winter enough to post this. Anyway, tabbouleh sort of transcends seasons, though I think many of us think of tabbouleh as a summer salad. Its make-ahead qualities, no mayonnaise, and no real cooking involved, really do scream summer. But, why limit ourselves to this deliciousness only in the summer? This is the perfect autumnal and winter salad, too. Continue reading

I make different slaws at different times of the year. This is one of my Winter Slaws. It is a combination of Savoy cabbage, carrots, peas, dried cranberries, scallions and cilantro. Continue reading

Cabbage is a rather overlooked vegetable. When we think of cabbage, I think most of us think of cole slaw or stuffed cabbage rolls. I love both, but sautéed cabbage it good, easy and very versatile. Cabbage is great this time of year, when it’s fresh and sweet. I like to combine red cabbage with green and I prefer Savoy cabbage. Savoy is less coarse, but regular old cabbage holds up very well to sautéing. Continue reading

Here’s an incredibly good fall and winter vinaigrette…it’s served hot! It is great on a spinach salad with some dried cranberries, nuts and feta or bleu cheese. Continue reading
