Grilled Vegetable Salad

July 12, 2015 by Kay Leave a Comment

Enjoy this savory vegetable salad as a side dish, or as a light & healthy lunch or dinner!

Grilled Vegetable Salad is packed full of your favorite vegetables that are grilled and topped with a delicious vinaigrette and crumbled blue cheese.

You may fall in love with salads once again once you try my recipe for Grilled Vegetable Salad. A new twist for a salad; 1. grill the vegetables and 2. don’t include lettuce.

This is a nice summer salad because chances are you have fired up the grill to add your favorite meat and now your side dish can be delicious Grilled Vegetable Salad topped with a home made vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles.

I receive a vegetable share from a local organic farm every year, so the vegetables I chose for this salad came in my share for the week. By all means, feel free to mix up the vegetables you use in this salad. You could easily use corn, peppers, asparagus, summer squash, fennel, snow peas, etc.

Enjoy!

Chopped Salad with Strawberries

April 22, 2014 by Kay 8 Comments

Chopped Salad with Strawberries is a hearty salad filled with fresh vegetables, two kinds of lettuce, strawberries, croutons and is topped with a delicious vinaigrette.

I love salads. I especially love to order large salads when I go out to eat, so I decided I need to come up with some restaurant quality salads at home. Chopped Salad with Strawberries was a big success.

I opted for two kinds of lettuce, mixed greens and iceberg lettuce. I love the crispness of the iceberg lettuce with the mixed greens. For vegetables I used a sweet red pepper, a shallot, and a seedless cucumber. I added in fresh strawberries, feta cheese and home made croutons.

For the dressing, I made a home made herb vinaigrette and used a strawberry vinegar. I love vinaigrette’s, they are so easy to whip up and are way better than a store bough salad dressing. Trust me, it’s worth the time to make a home made vinaigrette.

I am looking forward to creating more salads!

Enjoy!

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

  • 2 shallots, sliced think
  • 1 large or 2 medium sweet red peppers, chopped
  • 1 seedless cucumber, chopped
  • Feta Cheese crumbles
  • Croutons
  • For the Herb Vinaigrette:
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. bail
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • To make home made croutons:
  • Use a 1/2 loaf of day old bread, french or italian loaf works great. Cut the bread into large chunks and add to a baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over the bread chunks and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, you don't want to over bake the croutons.

Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup

January 24, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

I made this recipe for Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup for a Lunch & Learn at work. Within a half hour the soup had vanished and I even doubled the recipe. I got rave reviews on the recipe. I promise it’s good, you should plan on making it soon!

You start this Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup with ground chuck and bacon (nothing is bad if it has bacon in it) and you add in a ton of vegetables along with cheddar cheese soup, beer and beef broth. The beer really adds a depth of flavor but if you prefer not to use beer you can add in an extra cup of beef broth.

Adding the milk in the end makes the soup creamy and mellows out the tomatoes in the soup. Add cheddar cheese when you serve up this hearty soup. Enjoy!

Add some cheddar cheese if you please.

Slaw Salad with Kale

December 3, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

Kale is a very potent vegetable, full of vitamins and nutrients. The key to get more of this veggie into your diet if you are not a fan of it, try hiding it in some of your favorite recipes. This slaw salad is the perfect recipe for this. One thing to remember when working with kale is to remove the long stem along the spine of the kale.

Slaw Salad with Kale

Ingredients

  • 1- 16 ounce package of broccoli slaw or 16 ounces of broccoli, chopped
  • 2-3 cups chopped kale
  • 2 kohlrabi, peeled and cut into chopsticks
  • 1 pkg. Ramen Noodles, noodles broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/8 - 1/4 cup sugar, use 1/4 cup if you want a sweeter dressing
  • 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette or Italian dressing

Instructions

  • Place slaw (or broccoli), kale, kohlrabi and noodles in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk Ramen seasoning packet, oil, water, sugar and dressing until sugar is dissolved. Pour over salad. Mix thoroughly.
  • This salad is best when it has time to sit so the flavors come out. I usually add the sunflower seeds and almonds right before it is served so they don't get soggy.
