It is such a versatile recipe. In addition to the traditional way of serving it with tortilla chips, I’ve had it on top of burgers – both beef and turkey. This morning I discovered it works great as the veggie in a frittata. My husband’s reaction: “The eggs are outdoing the bacon for flavor. It’s a battle to the death!” The original recipe instructs you to seed the tomatoes. I’m lazy, so I skip that step. It’s entirely up to you. My reasoning is that plum tomatoes don’t have a lot of seeds (or the surrounding … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/salsa-cruda-51.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/green-bean-and-hazelnut-salad-296.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/green-bean-and-hazelnut-salad-296.htm#comments Mon, 12 May 2008 19:25:23 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=296       My mother is somewhat less than adventurous when it comes to trying new things. So, when asking her what type of vegetable she’d like with her Mother’s Day dinner, her first suggestion was green beans. Don’t get me wrong, green beans are a wonderful vegetable, but I wanted to do something different. Bon Appétit came to the rescue with a recipe in this month’s issue. I didn’t change much, other than to double it and leave the green beans whole. It was a big hit with my family, and, happily, my mom had seconds. Mission accomplished! Flaxseed oil is … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/green-bean-and-hazelnut-salad-296.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/baby-spinach-and-pomegranate-salad-233.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/baby-spinach-and-pomegranate-salad-233.htm#comments Thu, 03 Jan 2008 23:22:48 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/baby-spinach-and-pomegranate-salad-233.htm My aunt made this wonderful salad for my bridal shower last summer, only using strawberries instead of pomegranate. Since good strawberries are hard to come by in January, or are simply overpriced, I decided to use pomegranate instead. It was a big hit. Even served along side a delicious prime rib people had second helpings of salad! Ingredients: 1 9-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed and drained 1 pomegranate, seeds only 1/2 red onion, diced 1/2 5-ounce package candied pecans, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup cider vinegar 3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds 1/2 … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/baby-spinach-and-pomegranate-salad-233.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/caesar-salad-dressing-136.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/caesar-salad-dressing-136.htm#comments Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:31:48 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=136 Source: Dawn DeMeo With the warm weather here, it’s hard finding the motivation to cook a decent dinner. I’ve been making lots of salads. This dressing is very easy to make, and it doubles as a marinade. I often marinate a couple of chicken breasts in some of the dressing, grill them up and throw them on the salad. It’s a great mid-week dinner, and you don’t heat your kitchen up making it. To make about 1 1/2 cups of dressing, whisk together the following ingredients: 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon white vinegar juice of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/caesar-salad-dressing-136.htm/feed 1 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 11:32:31 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=62 Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/summer-salad-39.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/summer-salad-39.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 02:23:34 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=39 Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/summer-salad-39.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/tomato-salad-36.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/tomato-salad-36.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 02:12:52 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=36 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/tomato-salad-36.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/gnocchi-salad-12.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/gnocchi-salad-12.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 01:14:34 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=12 Recipe: Gnocchi Salad Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients 1 pound gnocchi, cooked according to package directions, drained and cooled 9 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, small size small handful fresh basil leaves, shredded 2 tablespoons olive oil juice of 1/2 a lemon salt and pepper, to taste Instructions Combine all ingredients in large bowl and gently toss.
