What’s your favourite salad?

I started making it without adding sour cream or mayo, which is how I had learned in the restaurant, I like the non-creamy better.

So is it just a standard vinagrette, with the addition of bleu cheese?

Yes, it's really good.

What is the 'Mother Sauce of Mississippi'?

Is that UB's Comeback Sauce? He posted it awhile back.

Thanks, PF! I have a nice little chunk of bleu. Will give it a try!

One of my favorite salads I make often is Cabbage salad with Blue Cheese dressing. It can have something added like sliced apple or radish or a slice of onion, or just snipped green onion tops. Sliced tomato in season. Not all of these at any time, and Usually, it's just dressed cabbage. I add the dressing to the shredded cabbage just before serving. It doesn't marinate and the dressing doesn't draw the water from the cabbage as happens with cole slaw. I like cole slaw too as a salad.

My favorite is baby spinach with peeled and sectioned clementines, sliced strawberries and sunflower seeds. with a dressing made from oil, cider vinegar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce and chopped onion. Tastes good and feels like you're eating healthy.

Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad

Here is my favorite salad.


Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad
8 cups greens
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 green onions, sliced
2 oz goat cheese
1/4 cup salted Marcona almonds (Spanish, unpeeled almonds)
Juice of 1 lemon
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey


Spread lettuce over a large platter. Top with strawberries, green onions, and almonds, then crumble the goat cheese over the salad. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, honey, and olive oil. Sprinkle salad with a pinch of salt & pepper then drizzle on the dressing and toss. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

Bib lettuce in rice vinegar. Something very simple and not filling.

There used to be a chain when I lived in Hawaii called something like Monterrey Bay Cannery that made the best crab cobb salad. But, in fact, I just love salads, period and these all sound so good. I'm going to have to try to remember some of them. I cannot say I have a favorite. But that's pretty much me about almost everything. To much to love. I love a good salad nicoise, one thing I make often for dinner in the summer. I like my baby greens from the garden, but also like iceberg when I want some crunch, all kinds of cabbage, and spinach. In the winter I often use canned and/or pickled vegetables for some zest. I agree that there are some basic recipes that do well for changing seasonally.
