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.

Chopped Roasted Beet and Blue Cheese Salad
I love beets, especially picked ones. I could eat them for breakfast! This Chopped Roasted Beet and Blue Cheese Salad combines the earthiness of the beets with a tangy vinaigrette, fresh dill (another favorite!) and chopped green onions. I'm sure not everyone will eat this at my dinner table, but certainly will!

Coronation Chicken Salad
Coronation chicken was created in 1953, when renowned florist Constance Spry and cordon bleu chef Rosemary Hume catered for a banquet to celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II. It is believed to be inspired by the 'Jubilee Chicken' created for George V's silver jubilee in 1935.
This Coronation Chicken Salad recipe is not the original. It’s really a curried chicken salad.
The original recipe is described as chicken, boned and coated in curry cream sauce, with, one end of each dish, a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and pimentos. Here is the Cordon Bleu recipe.

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!).
