Pear and Blue Cheese Salad
This salad brings together ingredients that really enhance each other, and the dressing packs a perfect punch with maple syrup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. It's a favorite in my family!
Cranberry, Glazed Walnut, Orange, Avocado, and Blue Cheese Salad
I first made this salad for my family's Thanksgiving dinner several years ago as a starter, and it was a big hit. This recipe was inspired after I had some pear and walnut salad at a restaurant. Since I'm a busy professional woman and don't have lots of time to cook, I wanted to make something quick and easy, yet tasty, using premade ingredients you can find at regular grocery stores.
Roquefort Pear Salad
This is the best salad I've ever eaten and I make it all the time. It is tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. The mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together.
Russian Beet Salad with Herring
This salad is commonly known in Russia as a 'Herring under the Winter Coat Salad.' It is a must for every Russian holiday, however, you have to have a taste for herring and beets. Every Russian craves this salad, but my American hubby doesn't care for it. I use a clear bowl for this salad so that you could see all ingredients in it.
Curried Cashew, Pear, and Grape Salad
Whenever I make this salad for guests, I'm always asked for the recipe and my family always requests this. We call it 'The Good Salad.'
Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing
Wonderful salad for the holiday seasons. Great to serve for dinner at home or to take to a family gathering during the holidays.
Grandma's Five Cup Salad
My Grandmother made this every year for Christmas when I was a kid.
Cranberry Waldorf with Yogurt
This is a very low-fat, low-calorie salad. I make it all year long, but it is especially great for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just freeze a few bags of cranberries to use at a later date. I know this will become a tradition to anyone who tries it, it's delicious! Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.
Beet Salad with Goat Cheese
A delicious beet salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic dressing.
Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon-Mustard Dressing
A classic steakhouse-style spinach salad with the absolute best warm bacon-mustard dressing I've ever had! Looks and tastes like a lot of work, but can be prepared in no time! This salad can easily be converted to a main dish salad by adding strips of grilled chicken breast.
Japanese-Style Cabbage Salad
This fabulous salad recipe is comparable to what is served in Japanese restaurants. It's vegan and tastes great! It goes well with traditional Japanese foods and also with American foods instead of coleslaw.
Red Cabbage Salad II
I used to get this salad at my Grandmothers favorite restaurant. The longer it sits the better it gets.
