Spinach Salad from The Plantation Cookbook
I recently made this Spinach Salad from The Plantation Cookbook. The salad dressing is absolutely spectacular. The key is to make the dressing at least 6 hours ahead or the day before.

Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette
So last night, I'm home alone eating a frozen chicken pot pie. I've been sick and have to eat soft food. I had absolutely no idea what I'm going to blog about. I then check my Instagram and see that my daughter Zoe made this for dinner! Excuse me Zoe, but that looks delicious! Both my girls are starting to cook at the advanced level. My daughter Grace made a cheese soufflé the night before. Again, I only know this by checking Instagram. I may be able to retire early!

Creamy Corn Salad
It seems like I've been posting a lot of corn salads lately. I have at least 6 different kinds on my blog. I guess you could say I like corn! It could have something to do with being raised in Indiana. This version has a creamy dressing and uses roasted red peppers and fresh basil.

Grilled Corn Salad with Chili-Miso Dressing
I love making spinach salads because you can put the dressing on in advance and it won't wilt as quickly as lettuce. This Grilled Corn Salad with Chili-Miso Dressing takes your salad "out of the ordinary" category. The combination of chili and miso delivers spicy umami flavor. Truth be told, I cheated and bought already grilled frozen corn from Trader Joe's. I try to always have it in the freezer. It has a great smoky flavor.

The Original Caesar’s Salad Recipe from Caesar’s Restaurant and Bar in Tijuana Mexico
I went to Caesar's Hotel Restaurant and Bar in Tijuana Mexico to eat this original Caesar Salad. it was truly the best salad I have ever eaten. It was not too garlicky, not too many anchovies, just perfect. Made table-side, you can see the whole process. The waiter, who has been making it for 28 years, gave us the actual recipe printed on a card (so I stopped furiously writing it down!).

Vermouth Dressing
Some wine enthusiasts claim that the vinegar in salad dressing is detrimental to a glass of wine. As it is unthinkable to stop drinking wine during the salad course, the vinegar has to go. This Vermouth Dressing is savory, salty and tart. Personally, I never let anything get in the way of drinking wine with a meal and like nothing better than a salad with vinaigrette and a glass of wine.
