Salads

A salad is a dish consisting of a mixture of small pieces of food, usually vegetables or fruit. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula/rocket, kale, or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads.

Most historians believe that Caesar Salad honors restaurateur Caesar Cardini (1896-1956), who invented it in Tijuana, Mexico, in 1924 on the Fourth of July weekend.

Salmon Chopped Salad
For Adventist pescatarians. Vegetarians could use sautéed tofu. I, personally, would use a LOT LESS tomatoes! Maybe more cucumber. It’s simple and whole foods, adaptable to any dietary lifestyle and diabetes dietary protocol.

Cauliflower Super Salad Recipe
The recipe is based on an Italian-style red potato recipe that is one of my favorite dishes; substituting cauliflower for the potato in that recipe is a perfect switch. NOTE: Do NOT use sugar!
