Salad Recipes (Most Popular)
I talked my grandmother out of the this recipe when I was a young bride about 40 years ago. It has always been our family favorite. Now, it has evolved and been lightened up a bit by switching to extra light olive oil and Splenda, but it is every bit as good as the original.
This recipe uses Blue Cheese Powder from the Spice House in Chicago. This powder only has 33 calories per tablespoon, making an ideal condiment in a yogurt salad dressing.
This is my estimate of ingredients in the Autumn Harvest Salad from The Pickled Pepper in Nixa, MO. http://www.pickledpepperdeli.com/menu/
This recipe makes about 12 tablespoons of dressing - which I count as 6 servings. I use Sea Salt instead of table salt, so the sodium is actually lower. This is a yummy way to add some zing to your salads! I am also going to try it on meats when I cook them - it just sounds like it would be good :-)
I was bummed to see that my favorite brand of whole grain croutons had hydrogenated oils in their ingredient list. Then I thought, "How hard would it be to make my own?" Answer: Not hard at all.
What's also cool is if you slice the flatbread pieces larger and keep them in the oven for a couple minutes more... you have baked chips
This is a hearty salad with lots of flavor. Make ahead and better next day! Add a few strips of chopped crisp bacon for extra flavor!!!
