Another winner from from Yotam Ottolenghi! This recipe is from his cookbook “Plenty More”…I’m a huge fan of his stuff! My husband and I even paid a visit to his shop in Nottinghill the last time we were in London! It’s a deli that has the most amazing looking things available and so beautifully presented! […]
Winter Salads
Chicken Or Turkey Salad With Pears
The first time I made this salad was for the chairman of the organization I worked for. Later in the day he made a point of taking me aside and thanking me for “the best salad I have ever had”. Well, that’s definitely one big pat on the back! By the way, we love it […]
Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
Meyer lemons were something we never saw in our markets here in Vancouver…but thankfully all that’s changed! Heck, even Costco sells them now! This dressing is excellent and I make it often. Whenever I find Meyer lemons, I pick up a bunch, squeeze them and freeze the juice for later use. Makes Approximately 1 Cup ¼ […]
Anne’s Anchovy-less Caesar Salad Dressing
This one is for all of you who hate anchovies as much as I do! I’ve sampled really fresh, marinated ones in Italy, sorry, they still taste like anchovies! It’s OK though, my husband adores the little morsels! The garlic gives it a really good punch. Anne gave me her recipe a really long time ago and we […]
Cobb Salad
This is my adaptation of the famous salad. I absolutely adore Cobb Salad. From the tang of the blue cheese to the creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, salty bacon, delicious! Serve with homemade biscuits** or purchased rolls. Thinking of starting a “Cobb Salad Club” for everyone I know who loves this salad as much as […]

Clementine, Goat Cheese And Walnut Salad
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. This salad is one that I like to make in December and January when clementines are available. If you find some watercress it would be a nice addition to the other greens. If you have a pear on hand you could chop it up and […]

For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. An utterly fabulous salad! This is a recipe I like play around with and all are wonderful, especially the one with duck cracklings, croutons, Gorgonzola and changing out dried sour cherries for the cranberries in the dressing! The key is the dressing! Don’t fret if […]
Creamy Garlic Dressing
