Spinach Salad

This is a version of the classic spinach salad with a warm sweet and sour dressing.  It is a simplification of a recipe in The Texas Cowboy Kitchen.  It made 2 large servings and took about 10 minutes.

Farro Salad

This is our second use of Trader Joe’s 10-minute farro.  It is based on a recipe in Two Meatballs in the Italian Kitchen, in which the authors reimagined panzanella by replacing the bread cubes with cooked farro, thereby increasing the fiber and reducing the carbohydrates of the salad.  My further enhancement was to add some Read More …

Orzo Salad

Carol made this salad from the NYTimes for a Christmas party, where it was well received.  It could be a main course with the addition of some shrimp or chicken.  This version makes 8 servings and takes about an hour.  Carol thought the original (documented here) needed more vinegar and possibly less oil. 1.5 cups Read More …

Salmon Shawarma Salad

I have made a number of Middle Eastern dishes lately, so when I saw in the Washington Post a salad based on salmon marinaded in shawarma spices, I wanted to try it.  This is sized for 2 servings.  There is a 2-3 hour marinade, but the actual preparation is about 30 minutes.  We ate it Read More …

Olivier Salad with Chicken or Turkey

I was reading Alissa Timoshikina’s cookbook “Salt & Time: Recipes from a Russian Kitchen” and spotted a recipe for Olivier Salad, which is more commonly known throughout the world as Russian Salad.  (I remember eating it once in Buenos Aires.)  I made a batch in part to use up some roast turkey breast meet.  I Read More …

Spiced Potato and Curly Endive Salad

This is a variation on a “Slow Food Fast” recipe in the Wall St. Journal on May 13-14, 2023.  That recipe seemed to be in general a good idea, but it also called for some ingredients I did not have.  Here is how I made it for 2 people using what I did have.  This Read More …
