A best-loved Italian appetizer is translated into a flavorful, better-for-you lettuce salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette and pre-cooked chicken for easy prep.
Tacos or burgers? Yes. Ground meat mixed with spicy seasoning is topped with a mix of Miracle Whip Dressing and salsa for a juicy, delectable dish. Everybody's happy.
Shrimp, tomatoes and fresh zucchini get a taste of the Mediterranean with a zingy dressing and savory crumbled feta. Suddenly, an ordinary Tuesday night becomes memorable.
If I want to REALLY impress, this is a party appetizer that always works! Need romance? Serve a couple with Filet Mignon for Surf-n-Turf - it doesn't get much better than this!
So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to quot;full strengthquot; but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.
Why mess with perfection? Like our smart combo of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. Arrange them on a plate, drizzle a little dressing and let the flavors do their work.
