Balsamic Tomato Salad
This recipe comes from my dad. It's such a classic salad, and I can honestly remember having it every summer. When we lived on the East Coast we grew our own tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad. Its so refreshing!
Sweet, Salty, Spicy
Whenever I think of heirloom tomatoes, I think of last year's local roadside vegetable and fruit stand that had a huge sign listing the available produce...including HERLOOM TOMATOES. (I have become a terrible speller myself...too much red wine?) This tomato recipe produces an intense sweet, salty, spicy tomato condiment that is delicious on sandwiches, salads or just as an side to the main course. Use all the ingredients somewhat lightly so as not to overshadow the luscious flavor of the fresh heirloom/herloom tomatoes.
Beets and Herbs Salad
Isn't it time to take a break from roasted beets with goat cheese? I thought so. This past weekend, I tossed beets, still warm, with sherry vinegar, Dijon and olive oil. The vinegar makes their sweetness sing; the mustard gives them grit. And a spray of chopped herbs -- basil, tarragon, chives and mint -- beckons the doubters.
Warm and Fresh Tomato Salad
This is a great way to eat the best cherry tomatoes of the summer!

Basil, Mozzarella and Tomatoes
It is all fresh.
coprese salad
sliced tomato, fresh basil and olive oil, and a little lemon juice
instant insalata
This salad is probably my favorite, especially this time of year when the tomatoes are ripe an juicy. It is also the easiest. It is light but filling, packing in lots of calcium and vitamin C. Plus, if you grow it yourself you get a little extra satisfaction. I know I did! There is nothing like watching your herbs and veggies grow, picking them at their peak, and then getting to enjoy them just a few feet from where they started as seedlings. Not to mention what you save on the grocery bill!
Fresh Mozzarella Tomato Pesto Salad
I made this up. I make it when I can get fresh mozz at the farmer's market - and when basil is in season!!! Yum!!
Sesame Cucumber Salad
Growing up, this was a staple summertime salad in my house. We would go out to the backyard garden, pick the cucumbers, and then within minutes, have a simple and refreshing side.
Agurkesalat (Danish Cucumber Salad)
Agurkesala is a traditional Danish cucumber salad recipe. My mother taught me to eat it on sandwiches. My vegetarian daughters love it on hummus sandwiches.
Thirst Quencher Salad
This is a simple fast healthy summer salad.
Snackin' Cukes
I tried this recipe when my garden yielded tons of cucumbers and I was dieting. I sliced the cucumbers very thin and sprinkled Splenda sweetener on them and then tarragon vinegar. I refrigerated them for a few hours and when I got the muchies this "sweetish" delight made a great dietetic snack. I now serve this treat as a summer salad. Hope you like it.
Fresh Summer Salad
I made this recipe up while spending a hot summer in Virginia, looking for something cool and refreshing to eat. It works with any dressing or spices you may want to add, so it can appeal to anyone, or be slightly different each time you make it! I have enjoyed it with some added ranch or chili flavors. An easy way to add flavor is to buy pre-seasoned almonds.
Dill Cucumber Salad with Shaved Machego
Fresh cucumbers, to me, don't need much seasoning. They have a refreshing flavor that is best accentuated, rather than drowned. Therefore, this recipe is simple, quick, and deliciously appealing on these hot, humid Florida afternoons.
Simple Sicilian Potato Salad
This Sicilian potato salad recipe is best served warm, soon after the potatoes are cooked which also helps spread the dressing around.
Warm Deconstructed Caesar Salad
Tarragon Egg Salad
Tarragon and eggs together: This is egg salad recipe is one of those dishes that I make for myself. It's simple to prepare but the flavors are so satisfying.
Frisée Salad With Poached Egg
This is inspired by a classic French country salad. The traditional dish includes thick-cut bacon, but this version is great without the meat. You can serve it as a starter, but I like to make a meal of it.
Cranberry Salad
My mom has made this for Thanksgiving just about every year. It has a bold taste and almost crunchy texture that makes it a great accompaniment to the less-bold fare on the Thanksgiving table. It is an old school recipe that has stood the test of time for a reason, it's great!
Calvo Nero salad
I was sick of romaine and iceberg! I wanted a salad that was hearty enough to survive the commute to work, full of iron and nutrition so that I didn't have to boil broccoli as often, and easy to prepare and be versatile! I stumbled upon a discounted back of calvo nero kale at the store and thought, "Hmm, what's this?" A quick search found that I could steam it -- and it's been a favorite ever since.
Autumnal Salad
So all this cold weather is making me think of yummy fall recipes - this is one of my favourites. It's a variation on my a salad that my awesome aunt in the South of France makes. The butternut squash though, makes it nice and appropriate for autumn weather, and pairs well with soup and lots of crusty bread.
