This recipe for Strawberry Romaine Salad was ripped from a magazine (sorry, no name on the page) many moons ago and thrown in the "someday" pile. Feeling guilty that I'd neglected to try it for at least 5 years (yes, that's how many "somedays" I have) I pulled it out and gave it a whirl. All I can say is, damn, I need to get through that pile quicker. This Strawberry Romaine Salad is incredible — the perfect mix of sweet and tang and I'd say an ideal summer salad. I know though, you want to …
Classic Broccoli Salad
Spring is here and it's salad time. Time for Dill Potato Salad, Green Goddess Dressing, Macaroni Salad, Chicken Salad, and this Classic Broccoli Salad which will knock your socks off. Even those with severe vegetable phobias have been known to squeal with delight at the sight of this broccoli salad. Dibs for seconds happen before the first plate is handed out. I suspect it's the magic ingredient bacon that does this, but really the combination of all the flavours in this salad make it divine. …

Green Goddess Dressing
My friend Anita tries to pretend she's not all that and a bag of chips in the kitchen, but I know differently. The girl jars her own salsa for Pete's sake! One day she served me this dressing with a green salad. I almost licked the bowl. It's also delicious as a dip for fresh vegetables.
