Greek Bread Salad
September 9th, 2011
This is probably blasphemous. It is a hybrid between Greek Village Salad (as my Greek husband calls it) and Panzanella (essentially rustic Italian Salad).

Southwestern Style Chicken Ceasar Salad
January 10th, 2011
Dinner can be a salad, and still be fun! I promise! I know I am starting to get a little shaky on my healthy eating pledge, (I am not sure how much longer I can last, I have no willpower!) But this play on a Ceasar salad is zippy and exciting and makes me want to shovel salad into my mouth ☺

This is one of my very favorite salads. It is one of my favorite classic French bistro dishes, slightly updated with the addition of fresh mint. It is creamy and tart and salty with the bacon, all of the flavors combine into an amazing, flavorful and satisfying salad. It can be a light meal on…
