Wiqui Waqui Salad (Islands Style)
This salad is great for parties and picnics. It has a lot of crunch and the barbecue flavor brings back memories of grilling in the backyard.
Quesadilla Explosion Salad (Chili’s Style)
This Mexican inspired salad is infamous for its high calorie count, but the amazing blend of texture and flavor is definitely worth it! If you want to cut calories, skip the quesadillas and just enjoy the salad on its own.
Grilled Chicken Breast
The key to juicy and flavorful chicken is a great marinade and proper cooking. I have included three variations that we use regularly at our house: classic barbecue flavor, Asian and Santa Fe.
Homemade Croutons
Making your own croutons is easy and gives you a chance to add your own flavors. Using dark rye or sourdough bread makes them way more interesting than the store-bought variety.
Glazed Pecans
These sweet and crunchy nuggets play extremely well with balsamic vinaigrette, feta cheese and dried cranberries. They are a really tasty snack as well.
Corn & Black Bean Salsa
Fresh and tangy, this relish is the perfect topping for tacos, burritos and Mexican inspired salads.
Vinaigrette Dressing
Sweet, tart or spicy. A creamy vinaigrette makes any salad come to life. It takes less than five minutes to make, so why would you buy that watery stuff on the grocery store shelf?
Caesar Dressing
You know that thick and creamy dressing they serve in the restaurants? This is a quick and easy method to make it yourself at home.
Ranch Dressing
Cool and fresh, this American classic from Hidden Valley Ranch in California works as a dip as well as a salad dressing.
