BLT Bread Salad
BLT Bread Salad recipe Cooking Light, June 2010 It was okay. It wasn't okay with red wine vinegar and oil. I would do a balsamic vinegar and oil or make Good Seasons dressing with red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar. I think I let the bread toast too long. I think it needed to be less crisp to soak up the dressing a little easier. For some reason the store only had black pepper feta, which was good, but added a little bite to the salad I wasn't planning on. Feta and bacon is an interesting … [Read more...]
French-Style Shrimp Salad
French-Style Shrimp Salad recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2006 HOLY COW!! This was filling! For a weeknight, it does require some prep work. I would cook the green beans, eggs, potatoes and shrimp that weekend. It would be too much to try and cook everything that night and have it chilled. There was so much stuff in this salad. I was so full!! I didn't follow the dressing recipe. I simply added some dijon mustard to my Good Seasons dressing I had in the fridge. Made it easy and very tasty. It was … [Read more...]
Quick Taco Salad
Quick Taco Salad recipe Cooking Light, October 1999 Yes, it was quick.

Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Large … [Read more...]
Pita Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber, and Herbs
Pita Salad with Tomatoes recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 I'm eating this right now for lunch... I didn't add the fresh herbs. For some reason, I'm not too keen on those in salads. Just weird that way. I added green peppers and radishes to the mix. Last night, I forgot to add the feta cheese! I can't BELIEVE I forgot the cheese! WTF is wrong with me?? I was EXHAUSTED last night. Oh, and I didn't follow the directions for the "dressing" (yeah if you can call lemon juice, s&p and olive oil … [Read more...]
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad recipe Cooking Light, May 2007 This was simple and tasty. We had it last night and I roasted some zucchini to go with the meal. We used london broil instead of flank steak as it's cheaper. I juiced about three small limes for the marinade which made the outside of the london broil very tangy. The salad was pretty filling, but as usual, I didn't add the cilantro. *spitting* It was sort of guacamole-ish, but without the creaminess. … [Read more...]
