Simple Salads

Probably not very popu;ar, but I love a nice salad with crunchy Iceberg lettuce. . .I can't deal with flat, wilted lettuce. It's hard to chew!

Simple Egg Salad

Made from chopped boiled eggs, mayo and season with salt and pepper. Add other things such as green onions, chives, pickles, etc. if desired.

Waldorf Salad​

​A Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad generally made of celery, fresh apples, walnuts, and grapes, dressed in mayonnaise, and traditionally served on a bed of lettuce as an appetizer or a light meal. The apples, celery, and grapes can all be green, which harmonizes the color palette of the dish.*

My Favorite~Simple Corn Salad*

  • 2 cups whole kernel corn: cooked, fresh, frozen or canned 
  • 1 large fresh, ripe tomato
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • Saltine crackers
  • Garnishes, if desired. For example, parsley, paprika, etc. (I find it takes away from the simple, yet delicious combination of flavors.)
Mix all ingredients except saltine crackers and garnishes in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Fold in mayonnaise lightly until all vegetables are coated.
Place in pretty medium sized serving bowl, garnish as/if desired.
Serve at right away or chill if desired.
Serve with saltine crackers.
Always cover and refrigerate any that is leftover.
*My recipe, in memory of my dear aunt who loved my Corn Salad. 💖 🌽 🍅

Dressings

  • .A very simple salad dressing I remember my mother making was just ketchup and mayo. My aunt loved to use just mayo on her salads She's the one who loved my Corn Salad, too.
  • ​Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and mayo whisked together in a small bowl, the mix it into salads. It makes the best dressing for chicken salad.
