This is a twist on carrot salad. I needed something a bit different and began experimenting with other ingredients. When left to marinate the flavors marry perfectly!

Yummy and healthy Mediterranean side dish

This French salad is magnificent considering its simplicity. Eat immediately while the greens are cool and the goat cheese is still warm. This recipe was published as Salade de Chèvre Chaud by food writer Ligaya Mishan.#GoldenApron23

Have you ever bought a bag of carrots at Costco? So many carrots, so few ideas. My grandson said "let's cook Pappaw!" He's only 3 years old and I wanted him to have a good cooking experience that was easy enough for him to do. I looked in the fridge and saw this humongous bag of carrots. So, we got the food processor out and started to work. He loved it. It was easy, tasty, and a great experience for a 3 year old. When finished he said "Pappaw, I mixed it all by myself!" A Kodak moment for sure.

Carrots are great for your health and boost the immune system. Grapefruit helps relieve stress and prevents your skin from ageing. Tomatoes use anti-oxidation to help with anti-aging. I made this fruity and easy to eat carrot salad with a combination of ingredients that ladies will love.This garlic paste doesn't leave any after smell so it's very useful to have for cooking. Of course you can also use regular grated or tubed garlic. Recipe by tink

When vegetarians crave something creamy, cashew butter is a great choice! I made it into a dressing. The origin of this recipe: When you want something creamy, using cashew butter is recommended. This recipe fulfills that desire.

Roasted beet and goat cheese salad is a pretty standard salad these days for which you can find hundreds of recipe variants. This is just how I make my own. Many recipes call for walnuts, but you won't find them in my version as I'm not a fan of nuts in salads. Making a balsamic vinaigrette really enhances the sweetness of the beets and brightens the flavors of the salad all around.

Any grains can be used for this - it's especially good for freshening up left-over risotto, or using a shop-bought pack of mixed grains for convenience.#summerchallenge2

I had this salad at a dinner party hosted by my friend. That salad was topped with grated cheese, but I felt that it was unnecessary so I left it out of my recipe. I used finely cut goat cheese as a topping instead.1. I recommend to go easy on the goat cheese and lightly scatter raisins on top.2. Feel free to use any other dried fruits in place of the raisins.3. Also, your favorite green leafy vegetable should also be fine. Recipe by Bellota

When I was a kid, I hated beet(root), but now I love it...only, not pickled in a jar...I love them like this!

Hello!!! Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so and I do hope that all is well…We had a very nice weekend it was the first one that we went out in a long long long time, we went and visited some friends who have moved to Germany from Greece. Our friend actually is a base player in a group and they were having a live concert on Saturday night so this gave us the opportunity to hear him live again!! I think its been 10 years since the last time I have been to a live concert. Germany had wonderful weather this weekend, Saturday night was just lovely, warm, stars were out, people dancing, and having a great time. 🙂Sunday we were invited over to some other friends house for lunch, the food was delicious BBQ, 🙂 we got a chance to catch up on everything and well we just had a lovely time. 😉 Just a small shout out thanking Katerina and hubby so much for inviting us to their home and their wonderful hospitality. (Before I forget Charlie had a great time too!!!) 🙂Since food was way to much this weekend, today’s lunch is light and salad is the only option. I ate Carrot Salad for the first time at my mother-in-laws :)…I remember that she placed it on the table and I made some sort of facial expression because she caught it hahahahahahah…and she remarked..:) Don’t get me wrong I love my mother-in-law, I have been very lucky she is like a second mom to me, anyway because I love salad I was absolutely going to try it, and have been making it myself since then. 🙂
