Steamed romanesco florets, tomatoes, butter lettuce, fresh watercress, capers, canned sardines in oil, and persian cucumbers make a wonderful salad dinner. We used the sardine oil, the vinegar from the capers and fresh lemon juice to make the dressing.#GoldenApron23

A quick, tangy dinner salad of pre-cooked fresh frozen mussels, onions, olives, green peppers and ripe avocado in a red mild sauce of white wine, mayonnaise, tarragon and sweet red paprika powder. The sauce makes a delicious dip for fresh sour dough french bread.

This one is an adaptation of a foolproof appetizer, from my friend Susan, who is a scientist with four perfect guest dinner dishes. I think she keeps a lab book for that -grin.I just make a cup of my own fresh mayonnaise, add peppersauce to this dish and plant the avocado pits in a window sill box as a future handsome indoor or outdoor plant. Works every time.

Mild smoked salmon, tangy crumbled old goat cheese, avocado oil and apple cider vinegar, and the holy five vegetables of medditeranean cooking: green cucumber, red tomato, white onion, dark olives and green crunchies like sweet green pepper or tomatillos. Delicious, quick, gourmet luncheon salad.

Salad with parmesan cheese and croutons and Caesar salad dressing: quick and delicious. The special element in Caesar salad is that it is prepared in restaurants table side.At home, I make the ceasar sauce with one egg and then make a separate whipped egg, lemon juice and Homemade Worcester sauce and add that table side for guests.This recipe is for dinner table side preparation for two people. I sometimes add optional ingredients of grilled chopped bacon and chopped jalapeno pepper pieces.

I built this cold tuna luncheon salad on a base of sour cream, mixed with green apple and green vegetables. I made Smetana sour cream , which is creamier, worth making at home when you have time, otherwise store bought fresh sour cream works well too.More refreshing than mayonaise based salads. Make small portions, spoils quickly.#GlobalApron

No meat for forty days after Mardi Gras is an old tradition in our family, my pantry is full of wonderfull ingredients to make delicious family meals without meats.This is my potato fish dinner salad favorite. See also our other fish recipes in here: Cured salmon is a delicacy. Smoked fish is another. Deep fried crispy fish is another. Salmon omelettes are always a dinner hit. Fish soup, bouillabaisse, is a meal in itself. Shrimp salad in avocados, a winner. Steamed trout on scallions. Since most fish is mild in flavor, the sauces and cures make all the difference. Follow them in my recipes, adjust them to your taste, let me know. Easy to have a full week of different dinners and never miss the meat.

Apricots and fresh pine apple chunks are a match made in heaven. They make an amazing salad with avocados and tomatoes and mild spicy tuna steak. No fishy flavor because the fruits and vegetables give this salad a tropical taste. Delicious with warm or cold tuna steak.#GlobalApron
