Corn Peas Tomato Salad
2008-08-08 10:07:00 I am not much of a salad person. I mean, I do like them but not as a meal in itself. Most of the salads are ones I make as an accompaniment to the main course. Because of this I don't spend much time on them, especially the dressing. After beginning to work, I find myself pressed for time to make dinner and I feel bad when there is just one gravy and one curry with rice. TH never complains but still I feel guilty. So salads like these are my solution! I sometimes fill the gap with raita too, but about that in a different post :)Now onto the salad.What I Used:Serves 2 (on the side)Boiled Corn kernels - 1 cupBoiled peas - 1/2 cupFinely chopped onions - 1/2 cupFinely Chopped tomatoes - 1/2 cupMinced garlic - 1/4 tsp (1-2 cloves)Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp (I used white)Lime juice - 1 tbsp (or to taste)Salt - to tasteHow I Made It:1. Mix the salt, garlic and pepper with the lime juice.2. Mix all the veggies well and add the above lime juice mixture 10 minutes before serving.*Notes*- I some...

The time for salads!
2008-06-07 18:00:00 Summer is absolutely the time for salads! You don't need to turn the oven on and your entire dinner can be fixed in minutes!! I have been craving salads nearly every night of the week in this already hot and humid weather.Salads are light, cool, crisp, and refreshing on a warm summer evenings. They are also packed full of nutrition if you make sure to add lots of fresh vegetables! I made this particular layered salad several weeks ago for a picnic. Michael really enjoyed it, so it will be on our weekly menu rotation soon! My favorite part is the super easy homemade dressing. I was out of my standard packet of Hidden Valley ranch... so we had to make due! Simple and delicious! We'll be "making due" more often!!What do you enjoy in your layered salads?Carrie's Simple Strata Salad4 cups -or- 1 small head green leaf lettuce, rinsed, patted dry and torn into pieces1 package grape tomatoes, halved -or - 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided1 cup froz...

I Survive Eating Only Salads
2008-04-23 08:38:00 Who would have thought I actually survive having only salad for the past few days. I told you that you need to have faith and motivation when you want to achieve this goal -- to get thin.Like any other people out there, they thought I'd die of hunger. You guys threw bad remarks about me. You people have tried so hard to put me down in a way so that I will stay fat like you. Try harder the next time, hunney. Come out with cooler techniques okay. You guys have put me in a place where I should stay positive and let all my idol took over my brain cells.So anyway, when was the last time I had fast food, eh? You probably didn't know that I am a huge huge fan of Burger King, KFC, and even Mcdonald before. I actually went into either one of this restaurant almost everyday to get my tummy filled with junkies and all those unhealthy foods. Amazing but true!And that's Whopper meal! I feel like eating that! But that won't happen ya'll. Never.

Side Salads
2008-03-29 02:18:00 ?To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.? -- Oscar WildeTired of eating the same old chopped romaine with a squirt of low-calorie ranch? Then don't. It?s time to re-think side-salads as dinner stars, not sad associates.This post was inspired by Robin, who recently requested ideas for making side salads that inspire great eating, not sleeping. I am happy to oblige, because I love a good side salad. I owe it all to my mother, who made all varieties of accompanying salads for most every meal of my youth, for reasons of good taste and nutrition, sure, but also to stretch her budget.I have one more reason for adding plenty of side salads to my regular menus: they make the rest of the meal a no-brainer. With an interesting and flavorful side salad, the main part of the meal can be basic. Simple chicken breasts, broiled fish, grilled tofu, or pan-fried pork chops...

Tips To Make Eating Salads More Convenient
2008-03-21 14:26:00 The other day I was in a deli eating lunch. I walked up to the counter, ordered a salad, and watched a lady behind the counter make it. Within minutes, the salad was done and I was on my way. As I ate I thought about how delicious it was and how if I had a salad bar in my kitchen I would definitely eat more salads. Do you ever feel this way? A big reason why we don't eat healthier is because we don't make it convenient.Is this true of you? When you come into the kitchen to grab a snack or make a quick lunch for yourself or your family, you're usually in a hurry or too starved to take time to prepare something healthy. The thought of washing and cutting up vegetables seems overwhelming. You want something fast, so you usually grab the handiest thing. That could be cookies, chips, prepackaged meals, etc.I know what you're thinking. I don't have room to put a salad bar in my kitchen. I want you to rethink that. Having a salad bar can be easier than you think.Make a list of all the...

A Guide to Greens for Salads
2008-03-12 20:27:00 Mixing a good salad lies in combining textures. For example, the crispness of romaine with the softness of butter lettuce, colors - the red of radicchio and the dark green of watercress, shapes - the round leaves of mache, the tangled leaves of curly endive, flavors - bitterness of endive, pepperiness of arugula, blandness of iceberg, tartness of sorrel. It is generally wise to start with milder greens (butter lettuce, romaine) and accent them with spicy, bitter, and tart greens. However, it is also possible to make a salad of just one green - endive, iceberg, romaine, spinach - with appropriate accents.Arugula (rocket, roquette, rugula) - thin leaves with peppery flavor, sue sparingly.Belgian endive (witloof chicory) - white, multileaved heads, mild but bitter.Butter lettuce (and Bibb, Boston, limestone, buttercrunch) - loose-leaved heads, tender texture, and sweet, buttery flavor.Curly endive (chicory) - curly leaves ranging from dark green to pale green, prickly and bitter taste,...
Recipe: Homemade Gyros with Super Garlic Tzatziki
2008-02-20 15:30:00 I have been getting very inspired by blogs recently. Maybe it is because I sit down to check my daily bloggings while sipping that first cup of coffee before I eat anything ? so I am half starved. But in any case, bad habits aside, I have been going crazy copying recipes from blogs that I visit through my daily interactions with The Foodie Blogroll. There is just so much good food out there and being exposed to it on a daily basis is a dream for someone as food obsessed as me. To me there is nothing better than a Gyro ? spiced meat in a warm pita slathered with garlicky Tzatziki, put an order of fries on the side and I am in a state of bliss. So the other day when I came across this, on Bitsy’s blog, A Matter of Taste, I was intrigued. I mean normally I only get Gyros out ? and you watch them slice the meat off a huge cylinder of meat on a spit. For me, foodie though I may be, it never really occurred to me to think how this giant cylinder of meat might come to be. I mean the...

My favorite way to prepare them, is to roast them. It just really brings out their sweetness ? it is like making vegetable candy. I could eat em by the bowl full. But me, I love the entire beet, I love the sweet purple root and I also adore the bitter greens. Nothing goes...

Soups and Salads
2007-12-19 09:54:00 Soups and Salads (Sop, Soto, dan Sayur Segar)Indonesian soups can be divided into two categories: sops and sotos. A sop is similar to a Western soup with a clear broth and some ordinary looking vegetables. Soto venture into much less familiar waters to include chilies, sour galingale, lemon grass, and sometimes coconut milk. While a sop might provide comfort on a cold winter's day, sotos are more the ticket for a hot one. Between the actual temperature of the soto and the chilies it contains, you might break into a sweat powerful enough to make even a puny breeze feel downright cool. Sotos are also open to improvisation by the server. Where a sop will be ladled straight away from a single stock pot, sotos tend to be assembled from their components on the spot.First cooked noodles are added to an empty bowl and covered with a broth from one pot and some meat from another. Various vegetables are added and allowed to steam in the bowl while splashes from different bumbus cover them. ...

Dinner Salads

I want to share my two favorites for this week, along with my favorite vinegarette recipe.Salad #1:Raapstelen*, watercress and mesculen greens with shaved fennel, beet root, manderine segments, fresh goat's cheese and toasted pine nuts Salad #2:Raapstelen*, watercress and mesculen greens with organic smoked chicken breast, dried cranberries, apple chunks, goat's cheese, and toasted pecans.This vinegarette recipe was inspired by a November 2005 article in Saveur magazine, titled: An American Cooks in Paris. The article showcased the talents of David Tanis, currently head chef at Chez Panisse (downstairs), who is blessed enough to live six months out of the year in Paris. This is a fabulously simple recipe, but don't be fooled by it's simplicity, it's great on it's own or as a building block for a more complex vinegarette.

Quick Recipe: Salads on the Go
2007-11-03 19:42:00 Recently I stocked up on groceries and got a really good deal on eggs (buy one, get one free - and they were 18-count containers!). As I hard-boiled an entire package worth, I realized I had a wealth of healthy lunches ready and waiting. In addition to the eggs, I also snagged prewashed, mixed salad bags on a buy one, get one free sale. Hmmm. The wheels began to turn and I thought of several recipes that would be quick and easy for working women, whether they are at home like me (and prone to digging through the snack drawer and eating chocolate for lunch) or trying to make it out the door before the commuter traffic stacks up.Sound tasty and helpful?

Late Summer Salads, Video - Dicing a Tomato, Cucumber and Onion
2007-09-03 22:30:00 The end of summer doesn't mean the end of fresh salads. It just means adding an element of warmth and comfort to help transition into shorter days and cooler nights. Fresh baby greens are still at the farmers' market from September through October... Use 'em! But think about how you can give them a richer element now that the season is changing.Start with richer and thicker dressings. Nut butters work wonderfully. Almond butter, tahini and cashew butters make sweet, comforting sauces without any added cream or heaviness (see Carrot Salad with Tahini Dressing, below - the tahini can be substituted with your favorite nut butter).Roasted veggies also add a warming quality to fresh salads. Roasted peppers, summer and winter squashes, tomatoes and eggplant make colorful salad toppings, and add a touch of flair and fancy. Stay tuned for October's blog entry to learn how to roast bell peppers.Toasted nuts on any late summer or fall salad can also do the trick. They supply good fats to...

Who needs to fit into their skinny jeans when there is banana dulce de leche ice cream and a Milky Way shake on the menu?

Even though I live in Florida where it is always summer I can feel the change at an instinctual level. I have started craving heartier meals, with autumnal ingredients, like squash and herbs like sage and there has been this urge in me to drink hot chocolate. I have even been having dreams about snow and our old house in Vermont?So even though the temperatures are still hot and humid, there is something about the air that is changing and it is creating in me the need to use up the summer surplus ? do something with all those eggplants, peppers and tomatoes.

I have made a lot of grilled vegetable dishes over the summer and for me it is essential to have them ? they are great for sandwiches and wraps, wonderful stirred in pasta and perfect just ...
Eating Spinach Salads Could Rob Bones of Calcium
2007-08-15 01:14:00 Do you love spinach salads? If so, you could be depleting the calcium in your bones.I know, spinach is supposed to be good for you and it is, but uncooked spinach contains oxalic acid which prevents calcium absorption.The excellent cookbook Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats recommend that we only eat spinach salads occasionally. If you cook the spinach, then the oxalic acid is neutralized and does not interfere with calcium absorption.
