A different twist on the usual mayonnaise based salad. Try to use only freshly squeezed lemon juice, not the stuff in the bottle.
About 6-8 good sized potatoes
1 tsp. onion powder
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tsp. dill weed
1-2 tsp. sugar (taste)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Peel [...]
You can use any kind of bread for this - Italian, French, cornbread, garlic, etc. buy new loaves or even make your own. In any case they all work great because you oven crisp them first. You don’t have to wait for fresh veggie season. Enjoy!
1 loaf of bread, cut into 1 inch chunks

A delicious salad whereas the chicken is cut into nice little dice-chunks. Goes great on toasted whole wheat.
Salad:
4-5 large boneless, skinless, cooked chicken breast halves
1 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best)
1 cup celery, small dice
1 tsp. dill (or 1 Tbsp. fresh)
Dressing:
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I only use Hellmann’s)
1/4 cup sour cream (or you can use [...]
This is straightforward and very adaptable to any other veggies you may wish to add. Reminder: tomatoes & cucumbers don’t adapt well in a salad that is kept stored - they get mushy. Serve them on the side or add them at the last minute before serving.
1 lb. box of elbow or small shell macaroni
1 [...]
A true, delicious classic and something we eat all summer long. I like the shredded cabbage pieces smaller so to achieve this I give it a whirl in the food processor for a few seconds; the choice is yours.
1 bag of coleslaw mix
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s)
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. white sugar
1/2 [...]
This is what you do with those bags of broccoli slaw found near the bags of lettuce and coleslaw at your grocer. Add a sprinkling of nuts (walnuts, pine nut, pecans) whatever you wish to bump it up another notch. Oddly, this went quite well with egg salad sandwiches.
1 pkg. broccoli slaw mix
2 pkgs. [...]
A different take on the run of the mill marinated cucumbers. This is delicious and tastes even better the next day - if you have leftovers.
2-3 cucumbers
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. mustard powder
1/3 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dill
Kosher salt to taste
Peel the cucumber and slice them as very thin. Spread them out on cookie sheets that [...]
Easy, good, quick and you probably won’t have leftovers. Serve some crusty, kicked up bread - such as garlic - on the side, and perhaps some steamed broccoli. A perfect light lunch or dinner.
1 lb. elbow (or other small shape pasta) cooked, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup green olives
1/2 cup sliced black olives
3 Heaping Tbsp. grated Parmesan, [...]
I had not eaten this for about 20 years when suddenly the urge came upon me to revisit an old family favorite. I don’t care for tuna anymore, so my sister Sandy helped me rework the recipe with diced, cooked chicken and it worked just as well.
1/2 a bag (about 4 oz. uncooked ) of [...]
Read full post...This stuff is great!
1 - 2 bags of pre-shredded cabbage (or shred your own)
3 Tbsp. white vinegar
3 Tbsp. white sugar
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use Hellmann’s please!)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
Place cabbage in large bowl. Whisk all other ingredients together then pour over/mix into the cabbage - mix very well. Cover with plastic wrap and [...]
