Now that summer is here, I don't like to make hot meals. This is generally due to the fact that we don't have central air nor are there any trees around our house. It can get pretty warm in here. You know the old saying, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, and I like to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible on hot summer days. I like to be able to make up a salad or at least the makings of a salad at about 8:00 am and just pull things out of the fridge at supper time, add some bread and Iced Tea and dinner is served!
Fembot shared a recipe for a Greek salad that sounds really good so I thought perhaps we can share some others.
Here is my salad repertoire:
Taco Salad: basic green salad w/spiced hamburger, tomatoes, olives, Fritoes, and a dressing made with salsa and sour cream whipped together. I serve with cheese quesadillas on the side.
Sesame Orange Shrimp Salad: basic green salad with shrimp, fried won-tons, raisins and Orange/Sesame Salad dressing.
Macaroni Salad with either Imitation Crab meat, tuna fish or chicken mixed in.
Potato Salad with cold ham as a side. I tried putting the ham right in the salad once, but I didn't like it as much as with the ham on the side.
Does anyone have any good "main meal" salad recipes?
