My favorite salad is Ranch Taco Chicken Salad.





1lb. boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips


1T. oil


1T. chili powder


1 cup salsa


1 cup ranch dressing


8 ounce pkg. of taco cheese


1 can black olives


1/2 a sliced red onion


1/2 cup crushed cool ranch doritos





Cook chicken and chili powder in oil for 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Cool chicken. Combine the salsa and ranch dressing. Toss chicken, greens, cheese, black olives, and red onion together. Top with crushed chips and serve with dressing.



SICILIAN ESCAROLE SALAD





1 large head escarole (broad leaf type)


1/3 cup olive oil


2 tablespoons wine vinegar


3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced and crushed


a few drops balsamic vinegar


1/3 teaspoon sea salt (adjust if using anchovies)


pinch black pepper


1/3 teaspoon basil leaves


1/3 teaspoon oregano leaves


1/3 teaspoon (or to taste) hot red pepper flakes


1 can medium sized black ripe olives or oil cured, chopped


1 large Vidalia or red onion, sliced thinly


1 large english cucumber, quartered lengthwise, sliced into 1 inch chunks


1 can anchovies (optional)





Add wine vinegar to bottom of bowl.


Peel garlic, and using a garlic press, add garlic to vinegar and allow to sit at least 10 minutes. (Alternatively, if you don't have a garlic press, mince garlic finely and then sprinkle with salt and rub the side of your knife across it to crush garlic to a fine paste, then add to vinegar as above.) Stir pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes into vinegar. Add chopped onion, stir to mix together.





Wash and thoroughly dry the escarole and separate the leaves, tearing them into 1-2 inch pieces. Add to vinegar and garlic, chop the cucumber into one inch pieces and season with black pepper.





If using the optional anchovies, drain, break them into sections and add to the olive oil. Otherwise, pour olive oil over salad, sprinkle with salt and mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings.





Escarole salad can be easily varied to suit the ingredients that you have available, or what's seasonal at the market. But remember, it's best kept rather simple, with not too many ingredients, in the Italian tradition.





This can be topped with Parmesan croutons or served with bruschetta.








Variations:





When in season, optionally add fresh ripe tomato slices and use chopped fresh basil and oregano. Another nice addition is roasted red peppers. Or add 2'; X 1/2'; slices of salami, mortadella or a sharp Italian cheese such as Asiago, Provolone or Pecorino Romano cheese. Or include a can of cannelloni beans (drained), or a can of Italian Tonno (tuna) packed in olive oil for a hearty lunch. Toss in 1/2'; by 2'; chunks of .


Note: When using anchovies, adjust salt, as anchovies can be very salty depending on how they're packed.









Three Bean Salad





1 can black beans, well drained


1 can white beans, well drained


1 can red beans, well drained


1 can corn, well drained


2/3 cup mayo (more or less depending on the consistency you like)


1/2 cup red onions, finely diced


1/2 cup celery, finely diced


salt and pepper to taste


1 1/2 tablespoons Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb





Combine all ingredients and let sit in fridge a couple of hours.









we love this, try it: ! firm head of iceberg lettuce, rinsed and cut into bite size pieces, 1 bunch of green onions sliced, 1 can of water chestnuts quartered, 1 8oz package of FROZEN peas thawed, 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese and 1 bottle of ranch dressing (we prefer Hidden Valley Ranch) Put all ingredients into a very large bowl and mix well with your hands. Pour into an oblong baking dish preferably glass (for eye appeal) spread evenly. Pour 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese over the top of salad mix to cover. Fry 1 lb of bacon crisp, drain well. Crush the bacon in a zipllock orastic bag. Sprinkle over the cheese on the salad. Can be eaten iimimmediately covered and refrigerated. Enjoy!! (fry bacon ahead of time, sorry forgot to mention this?
