Jasons Deli. Always something different there to build.

ohmilord, my favorite salad right now, this instant, is spring greens mixed with spinach, crumbled goat cheese, pitted kalamatas, those little tiny grape tomatoes that burst with flavor when you bite 'em, some scallion, avo, and brianna's blush wine dressing (the one with the strawberry on the label that has no strawberries in it, but apparently tastes great on strawberries). purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfection!

i'm glad the big headache was gone this morning, but i sure wish you could get out of the big house to go be with the zoester and leave that headache forever at MDA!

take care, debs.

a few days before eating salad dice onions (any kind) and put in a jar then cover with soy sauce and refrigerate

cook chicken breasts, cool and shread
put in bowl and add mayonnaise and liquid smoke to taste--but not too much, maybe a capful for 2 breasts

you can stuff celery sticks with the chicken then put the onions on top or you can use wheat thins and eat for an appitizer

Baby spinach, mandarin oranges, candied walnuts, red onions, gorgonzola cheese, with spicy honey mustard dressing. YUM. (Emeril used to make the dressing, but I haven't seen it in the story lately.)

OK...the spinach and the oranges are healthy, anyway.

mixed greens, pine nuts, cherry "maters", lots of red onions, cooked beets, chilled and chopped, chopped carrots, and any kind of dressing. YUMMY.

Happy Birthday Planning for Zoe.

Any salad that someone else makes is good.

I tend to throw in whatever comes to hand. I really like mini flafels, I have a serious chickpea addiction. How about this, baby spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, avacado, yellow pepper, little flafels and a dollop of humous for that extra chickpea goodness. Mmmmm.

My neighbor used to make this and it sounds like nothing special, but it's the blend together!

Plain old iceberg lettuce, very cold
Very good olive oil
red wine vinegar
Salt - salt the lettuce itself
grind black pepper

It's something I indulge in not too often due to the salt, but it's just the best with a steak!

I'm glad you are getting some relief. cool to have a hospital with sixbucks!

romain lettuce
Jumbo Cooked Shrimp (cold)
Pico de Gallo
Avocado
Light Champagne Dressing

YUMMY!!!

Hey Deb - Longtime lurker here. I hope they fix you. You are honestly one of the most uplifting writers I've ever read. Your grace and hopefulness through everything is astonishing. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

My fave salad right now:

quinoa (rinsed first, then cooked) tossed with chick peas, grape tomatoes, crumbled feta, black olives, and scallions, dressed with a champagne vinegrette spiked with minced garlic and a little horseradish mustard. YUM!

Found this one in Assissi. I like to think of it as St. Francis' version of Red Beans and Rice....

Spelt or farro
1 white or yellow onion
1 clove of garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
1 package of small Puy lentils
1 pound of Italian style turkey sausage
Healthy sprig of rosemary
Croutons or crusty bread
Shaved parmesian cheese

Cook some pearled spelt or farro as per the instructions.
Chop the onion and garlic and sweat them in olive oil
Add lentils, rosemary and enough water to generously cover and cook until they are almost tender (about 30 minute)
Remove the casing from the sausage, break up the sausage filling and drop into the cooking lentils. (Add hot water if you need extra room)
When the lentils are fully cooked serve in a bowl over spelt.
Top with croutons, a couple of shavings of parmesian and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve with a sturdy Italian red wine.

Delicious. We're having this one tonight.

Buffalo Wing factory does a mean buffalo shrimp salad. with the 6 battered and fried shrimp in buffalo sauce, it's not completely healthy, but it rocks!

Love you more. I'm back here at UCSF indefinitely until I die or get better to put it any more bluntly.

Sounds gruesome, but true, they don't want me moving or talking, just commoding and that's about it and blogging of course.....

sorry for the bad news...wish i could tell a funny joke instead

Oh we just had salad for dinner tonight!

Marinate chicken breasts in garlic lime marinade - think it was from Heinz, then grill and cut up bite sized. Add the chicken to:
lettuce - we mix iceberg and romaine
grape tomatoes
bite sized broccoli
peas
itty bitty bit of red onion cut very tiny
shredded carrots
shredded Mexican blend cheese
cucumber if it doesn't upset your stomach
hard boiled egg, cut up
Fran adds black olives, but I don't like them

Toss altogether with Ken's honey mustard dressing. Although, if I were still in TX I'd see if Johnny Carino's sold bottles of their house salad dressing.

My aunt makes a salad with oil and vinegar and strips of green pepper, red pepper and cherry tomatoes - no lettuce, salt and pepper...
and it's so so good and I can never really recreate it.

Or how about this?
A container of sour cream, one of cottage cheese, scallions sliced, radishes sliced, cucumber cubed.
Eat it with rippled chips.
DON'T LAUGH TILL YOU TRY IT.
Four generations in my family have made it and call it Summer Dip.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
