Pitch the boring bag and make your family a salad worthy of their appetites!
This recipe happens to be a favorite of my nephew who has been known to eat his body weight in frog eye salad whenever it is made. Lightly sweet and served chilled, frog eye salad derives its name from the tiny Acini de Pepe pasta “eyeballs” used as the primary ingredient. Texturally, this is a […]
We recently dined at a Polish Restaurant where they served a cucumber salad in sour cream, called Mizeria. Although my favorite cucumber salad is pickled, my hubby prefers the sour cream style.

A friend and co-worker of mine brought this delicious salad to work for our pot-luck luncheon. The combination of quinoa ,kale and corn in itself is delish, but adding pecans, beans and creamy avocado with a refreshingly light dressing, transforms it into a spectacular dish. Everyone , including myself, asked for the recipe. So, here […]
