Some yummy salads recipes...
The first one I kinda just made up, and the other is from a deli I used to work in (from memory, so its a bit off)...
First:
Greek Orzo Salad
Chopped Cilantro, as much as you like. I used like a big pinch.
1/2 Box of Orzo Pasta
1 Lg Cucumber, chopped into quarters
1 c. Mixed Greek Olives, chopped
Feta Cheese, as much as you like
1 c. Steamed Asparagus, chopped on the bias
1/4 c. Chopped Walnuts
Salt and Pepper to taste (I don't use much salt b/c the olives are pretty salty)
Italian Dressing
Mix all together, let stand in the fridge for a while. You may need to add more dressing if the pasta has soaked it all up. Yummmy!
Second:
Chicken Thyme Salad
Two Cooked Chopped Chicken Breast
Half a Box of Penne Pasta (or whatever you like)
1/4 or so of Chopped Walnuts
Fresh Thyme, Chopped-- I didn't measure it :( Like 10 Sprigs?
Red Grapes, didn't measure those either...Like 2 cups?
Mayonaise. Enough to coat all pasta.
Tsp. or so of lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste.
1/4 of a small sweet onion Finely chopped
(i didn't use very much onion, cos I dont like onions that much)
I mixed the mayo, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper first, then added the rest. Again, let it sit. You may want to add a little more mayo if the pasta soaked it all up!
ENJOY!
