Citrus Salad with Honey Vinaigrette

A festive salad for a winter ‘s day. It takes advantage of the so-sweet Texas grapefruit we love to have around the holidays — and the blood oranges and Cara Cara oranges that are so good this time of year. […]

Irene’s Celery Salad

A classic in Irene’s repertoire. I’ve loved this salad for years, and just convinced Irene to share the recipe. It’s a celery salad for people who think they don’t like celery (like me). Trust me, you’ll love it. Irene’s Celery […]

Winter Panzanella

Did you ever think to have panzanella salad in winter? Martha Rose Shulman did. I made it for a Super Bowl pot luck we threw at work, and I must say it was quite a hit. It’s nice to have […]

The Best Coleslaw

When I read that the editors at Leite’s Culinaria thought this was the best slaw “known to man,” I knew I had to investigate this claim. Turns out, if they’re not right, they’re darn close to right. This is is […]

Kale Salad with Squash and Toasted Almonds

Marbled Potato Salad with Arugula Pesto

Here’s a nice twist when you’re looking for a room-temperature potato dish: Instead of an old-school, mayonnaise-y potato salad, make this Marbled Potato Salad with Arugula Pesto. Make everything ahead, then dress it and serve. Admittedly, there are a few […]

Frisee aux Lardons

One of our favorite salads, and an excuse to have breakfast for dinner. Wash the lettuce and make most of your dressing, then put a pot of water on to simmer. Cook the lardons in a pan on real low […]

Peaches and Pickled Onion Salad

Another hit from Bon App this summer: a grain salad with peaches, arugula, tomatoes and quick pickled onions. And, get this: the pickling liquid becomes part of the salad dressing! Bon App recommended quinoa for the dish, but Greg and […]

Egg Salad with Lemon, Capers and Chives

Another winner of a recipe from Mindy Fox’s Salads: Beyond the Bowl book. I’m taking a little bit of liberty with this recipe, however, because I cook eggs differently than Mindy does. She prefers to prick a hole in the […]

Recipe: Tennessee-Style Coleslaw

A new cole slaw recipe, which uses mustard to take some of the sweet out of the mayonnaise. It was a big hit. It may not be the prettiest picture, but it sure does taste good. Related posts: Quick Barbecue […]
