I love this salad.

@BeefeaterRocks , I think I got you and @MunchkinRedux confused (sorry Munchkin !) regarding this dressing - I made it after I saw this post and am completely obsessed with it. I have made it three times. I use fat free Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk since that’s what I have on hand - to no ill effect- and add some lime juice to it. On salad, on tacos, for dipping raw vegetables - it is just so good!

Which dressing is this? If it is worthy of obsession I would love to try it.

Jalapeno ranch! I make it in my immersion blender. Couldn’t be easier.

I made this on Thursday using Kewpie mayo and I cut back on the proportions and salt because I wasn’t making the giant accompanying salad. B loved it. I prefer vinaigrettes and even I liked it. I’m going to make the ginormous salad soon; B could eat a meal salad 5 days/week. Definitely a new keeper.

Kay Chun’s Beef Fried Rice.

This was OK, and certainly fast, easy and edible, but (as a round-eye) having made fried rice a few hundred times prior, I’m wondering - why no sauce? Just soy, and lots (and lots) of salt. Another tip: season and cook the eggs first and separately, and then proceed with the rest.

It was fine, and certainly a good way to clean out the fridge, but as far as FR goes, I think there are better versions.

This was good, but a lot of work for just good. I would rather make piccata, much easier. My sauce is kind of grayish because I read the recipe wrong and added the dried oregano to the sauce instead of the breading.

Those look scrumptious! Of course, when I wanted to add this recipe, it was already in my NYT recipe box :smile:

I’ll have to show my PIC, who adores blueberry scones. Doubt he’ll be doing much baking here, but for when we are home again.

Thanks for sharing!

I hope they work out for you - they’re really easy to make, and a good vehicle for all the summer fruits and berries headed our collective way.

I thought I had made this before, but it was a similar salad from F&W. It’s very good, hoisin and peanut butter is a match made in heaven.
