Some Salad Recipes
Monday, June 19, 2006
I have to come up with funky names for some of these new salads I'm creating in my kitchen. I'll name a few after Yoga Poses...or use those new wine names (eg: Fat Bastard) for inspiration.
Downward Facing Dog:
Toasted/Spiced slivered Almonds and Pumpkin Seeds (spiced with cayenne, salt and pepper-toast in a pan on the stove medium heat flipping them around once and a while until brown...toasting nuts this way is actually fun.)
Greens
Grape Tomatoes
Cucumber
Feta (sliced lengthwise instead of crumbled)
Dressing: Rasberry Vinaigrette
This was very good and very easy to make. After I did the nuts/seeds over the stove they still crackled while I put them over the salad it was funky...well worthy of a yoga name.
Trying This One Tonight
California Hustle
Greens
Grilled Pear
Mandarin Orange Slices
Dried Cranberries
Toasted Pumpkin seeds
Dressing:
Yogurt
Lemon
Olive Oil
Tarragon
Salt pepper
Chives
Both salads have a nice mix of the four food groups and a good balance of fats/carbs/proteins.
