Choppedsaladwrap Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the vegetables into small 1/4 inch pieces. Place in a big bowl.
• Stir in the nuts.
• Quarter the olives; add to the vegetables.
• Stir in the crumbled cheese.
• Chop lettuce into fine pieces; combine with vegetable mixture.
• Chill several hours before serving.
• This recipe is flexible. Add or delete vegetables and/or nuts to your liking. Diced zucchini, red peppers, fresh herbs, pumpkin seed kernels can all be used in any combination that appeals to your family.

Steps:

• Blend 1/3 cup feta, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon each lemon juice, water and dill, 1 small grated garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste in a mini food processor. Toss with 1 chopped romaine heart, 1 small chopped cucumber, 5 chopped radishes, 1 drained can chickpeas, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 1/3 cup each thawed frozen peas and toasted sliced almonds. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut a straight line from the center of the tortilla to the bottom edge. Imagine the tortilla in four quadrants. Spread the pesto on the lower left quadrant, then sprinkle over the Parmesan. Lay the spinach on the upper left quadrant and top with the pepperoncini peppers and olives. Spread the marinara in the upper right quadrant and top with the meatball halves. Sprinkle the mozzarella on the final quadrant.
• Fold the pesto quadrant onto the spinach quadrant. Fold the double layer onto the meatball quadrant, then fold onto the quadrant with the mozzarella so that you are left with a triangle.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the tortilla and cook until golden and crisp on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and enjoy.

Steps:

• Cut carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, squashes, jicama, radishes and tomatoes into 1/2-inch dice. In large saucepan bring water to a boil. Blanch carrots and potatoes for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into iced water to stop the cooking. When cool, pat dry with paper towels and reserve. In large skillet heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and squashes and saute with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper for 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from pan and spread on a cookie sheet to cool. In large bowl combine mushrooms, squashes, potatoes, carrots, radishes and tomatoes. In a blender combine 2/3 of the oregano, the remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, remaining salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the chopped peppers and puree. Arrange lettuce leaves on individual plates, top with salad, surround with avocado and sprinkle with cheese. Pour dressing over vegetables. Serve with cracked black pepper garnish.
• In small bowl combine all ingredients. Serve over vegetables.

Steps:

• Cook pasta per package instructions.
• After draining pasta in colander, rinse the pasta in cold water to cool off. Once drained and cooled, sprinkle with Season Salt, to taste. (I use Tastefully Simple but I am sure other brands would work as well).
• Fry bacon on stovetop. Once crisp, pat to remove excess oil and crumble.
• If using chicken, boil chicken to cook. Once cooked through, chop into small pieces. Please note: I do not often use chicken but, when I do I use a small breast or 1/2 of a breast.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss.
• Although I do not use salad dressing, my family uses a light vinigrette (their current favorite is sun-dried tomato) as a dressing with the salad.
• Also, ingredients can be removed or their amounts adjusted to meet the tastes of people eating the salad although the basic ingredients remain the same.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop salad greens and place in a large salad bowl; add watercress and chives and toss.
• Arrange tomatoes, bacon, avocado, eggs and shrimp in separate rows on top of lettuce.
• Sprinkle with blue cheese and croutons.
• Serve dressing on the side.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine lettuce, 1 C cheese, tomatoes, chicken, bacon and eggs (can be done up to 4 hours ahead).
• Just before serving, add croutons and avocado.
• Add dressing; toss lightly to coat.
• Top with remaining cheese.

Steps:

• Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add oil in a stream, whisking until combined.
• Toss remaining ingredients with dressing.

Steps:

• Roughly chop romaine lettuce. Remove tough stems from arugula and roughly chop. Stem and quarter tomatoes. Seed and cut pepper into 1/4-inch dice. Peel avocados and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place these, with onions and olives, in a large bowl. Set hard-cooked eggs aside.
• In a separate, smaller bowl, mix ingredients for dressing together. Fifteen minutes before serving, add the dressing to the bowl of salad, tossing well, so that dressing can be absorbed. Press eggs through a sieve and sprinkle over salad. Serve.

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, combine the onions, water, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
• Add 1/2 cup of the oil to the vinegar mixture. Add additional to taste.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, roasted peppers, olives, haricots verts, cucumber, and herbs. Toss with enough dressing to coat, and season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:

• mix all the chopped items together in a large bowl.
• serve with dressings on the side so that leftover (yeah, right!) salad doesn't get soggy.
• i love this salad served in a tortilla wrap with just a touch of dressing.
• You can also serve without the tortilla wrap as main meal salad with some grilled chicken on top.
