Default Grilled Cheddar and Chicken Salad

Grilled Cheddar and Chicken Salad
This salad is from Linda Gassenheimer's cookbook "low-carb meals in minutes" for those of you who have this book.

2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 Tbsp warm water
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 lb roasted chicken breast,chopped (I stir-fried chicken breast with garlic and used that still warm...yummy )
1 medium size green bell pepper, seeded and chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 slices reduced-fat, aged cheddar cheese (1 1/2 ounces) (I used shredded cheddar cheese )

Preheat the broiler. Combine the mayo, water, and mustard in a medium-size bowl. Add the chicken, bell pepper, onion, and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Place the tomato slices on an ovenproof dish or on a foil-lined baking tray, and season with a little salt and pepper. Spread with chicken salad, and tear cheese slices into small pieces to fit over the chicken salad. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts, and serve. Makes 2 servings.

Default Simple Ceasar

1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium lemon, cut in half
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh grated low fat or reduced fat Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste


In a large bowl, press the two cloves of garlic, then using a piece of waxed paper to hold the garlic, rub the bowl with the garlic until well coated.

Add the Romaine, and toss well so that the lettuce is coated with the garlic. Squeeze the lemon over the lettuce. Pour the olive oil over the lettuce and toss well. Sprinkle Parmesan, salt and pepper over salad and toss again.

Can be topped with crumbled turkey bacon and some reduced fat croutons.

Coban (or Shepherd) Salad:

Ingredients (serves 4-6):
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1 onion finely sliced
2 cucumbers peeled and finely chopped
2 green peppers, seeded and finely chopped
½ bunch flat-leaf parsley. Chopped
Several good tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1-1 ½ lemons
Salt and Pepper

Preparation:
Put all the chopped fruit and vegetables, together with the parsley, in a bowl and mix well. You can then pop this into the fridge to chill off a little. Make a dressing from the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. This is the typical dressing used for most Turkish salads, zingy and delicious, just make sure you have a very good quality olive oil that is tasty but not bitter. Just before serving, add the dressing to the salad and mix thoroughly. Feel free to splosh in some more olive oil if you think it needs a little extra.

thanks giosbach, i just tried this. I could see why it could be addictive!
And now i believe that there really are a lot of carbs in vegetables - it was real comfort stuff!
i was worried that the house was going to stink of boiled cabbage, but i don't think it does. it was smelling of garlic and chicken stock as it was cooking. I didn't have any garlic olive oil, so just stuck a teaspoon of crushed garlic in there, and then put a smidge of sesame oil on it once it had cooked.
Plenty more left in the pot for the next couple of days!!
