Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Horseradish Dressing

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Horseradish Dressing. Sort of just rolls off the tongue doesn't it? Probably because there is so much that's right about this salad, like steak cooked to your liking (I like mine run through a warm room), paired with blue cheese and horseradish, both perfectly suited for steak and crisp green salad with juicy cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and red onion. Not to mention this salad is ridiculously easy to put together AND it's also impressive company fare. Yeah, …

Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

Every time I make this Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad, I say to myself, "Self, why don't you make this more often?!". This salad is quite possibly my favourite green salad but since picking a favourite recipe is like picking a favourite child I remain firmly non-committal on the topic. What I really love about this Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad is that it's perfect as a side with so much. It's great with steak or fish, and I love it all on it's own for lunch! Crunchy Asian Sesame …

Strawberry Romaine Salad

By //  by Candace Sampson 6 Comments

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

By //  by Candace Sampson 15 Comments

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. …

Salad with Warm Goat Cheese

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

If I could eat this salad every single day for the rest of my life, without paying for all that goat cheese with thunder thighs, I would totally do it. Alas, it is not to be. I've heard "rumours" (I'm looking at you Theresa Albert) that cheese is supposed to be used as a condiment. So, so, sad. This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe so you know it's scrumptious. Salad with Warm Goat Cheese 3 - 4 fresh small goat cheeses (crottins) 8 slices country white bread Good olive …
