Jelly Salad

Jelly Salad

Aptly named  the Jelly Salad because you use a bit of jelly in the dressing for a fruity sweetness.  The creamy Havarti cheese and the apples go nicely together.

Ingredients:
Head of green leaf or red leaf lettuce
Walnuts
Scallion optional
Havarti cheese cubed
Half to whole Apple cubed

Dressing:
3-4 tbs mayo
2 tbs olive oil
Big spoon jam, raspberry or berry

The post-Christmas turkey salad

I am so over Christmas but still had turkey so I came up with this salad which will not remind you of Christmas. Kind of a kitchen sink salad but it turned out good enough to share. Mix dressing ingredients in your bullet or blender, toothpick the zucchini, toss everything together and enjoy. It has a clean fresh taste to help you recover from the Christmas treats.

2 scallions
Handful of pecans
1/4-1/2 cup of shredded turkey

Welcome

Ah the most wonderful salad.  We love 'em.  They are crunchy and creamy, spicy and savory.  There are so many varieties from the petite side dish to the full blown meal. This blog is dedicated to the beauty that is the Salad.

Many of these recipes could be considered kitchen sink salads as they were created based on the contents of the fridge at a given moment.

Would love to hear about your favorite!
