Cuisine: Salad Dressing

Radish and Jicama Salad

This Radish Jicama Salad, which is a very fresh tasting Spring salad, is loosely based on a recipe from Real Simple magazine. I changed a few things. Instead of red onions, I used 2 green onions and I left out the cilantro. I despise cilantro!

Arugula & Belgium Endive with Balsamic-Glazed Prosciutto

This Arugula & Belgium Endive with Balsamic-Glazed Prosciutto is really good. All the ingredients and flavors balance well together and truly complement one another. The Balsamic-Glazed Prosciutto would be very good on chicken!

Roasted Shrimp and Vegetable Salad with Chili Lime Dressing

This is probably one of the most beautiful salads I've ever made. I love all the colors of the rainbow. This Roasted Shrimp and Vegetable Salad with Chili Lime Dressing is so healthy, fresh and you can make it ahead or eat it warm from the oven.

Kale and Broccoli Slaw Salad

This Kale and Broccoli Slaw Salad is something that I copied from Trader Joe's. You can add shredded cooked chicken to make it more of an entrée. Kale is much better if you massage the dressing into it. You can make it ahead and let it sit with the dressing.

Fresh Figs, Israeli Feta & Arugula Salad with Balsamic Honey Vinaigrette

My friend Jessica told me to make this salad using Israeli Feta cheese. It's amazing. I don't really like feta, but this one is different. It's full-flavored, creamy, and not overly salty. It's made from sheep and goat's milk. It goes perfectly with fresh figs, the spicy, slightly bitter arugula and the sweet honey balsamic dressing.

Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola and Arugula Salad

My husband created this absolutely delicious Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola, and Arugula Salad. The sweet figs, salty pistachios, creamy Gorgonzola, and peppery arugula are all perfectly balanced in this salad, and the balsamic dressing adds a touch of acidity that really brings everything together. It's such a great combination of flavors. We used to have a huge fig tree at our old house and miss it terribly.
