An impromptu picnic inspired me to put together this dressed-up chicken salad sandwich. The sauce gives leftover poultry a scrumptious punch. An instant summertime favorite, these sandwiches have become a mainstay at our house.
A great, fresh-tasting picnic salad, it combines avocados, cucumbers, garlic, and green onions with chopped cilantro and the bright flavors of lemon and lime juice.
A simple cumin dressing is tossed with a salad bowl full of kernel corn and black beans. It's sensational as is but we think it would be super rolled in a warm tortilla with a dollop of sour cream.
A sweet-tangy brown sugar-maple syrup dressing gets its zip from apple cider vinegar and performs as the perfect partner for a leafy green salad tossed with pears and candied pecans.
Crisp-tender green beans are paired with cherry tomatoes and seasoned with onion, celery and lemon in this refreshing side dish. 'There's nothing quite like a colorful salad to perk up a gray winter day,' says Diane Hixon of Niceville, Florida.
The distinct and powerful taste combination of fresh ginger and mint lends a burst of flavor to this main-dish salad.Prep: 11 minutes; Cook: 5 minutes; Other: 2 minutes
