Dressing for Caesar Salad
This is my mom’s recipe!
Mixt together:
2 c. mayo, 8 garlic cloves (crushed), 1 Tbs of capers (crushed), 1 Tbs dijon mustard, 1Tbs wine vinegar, 1 Tbs lemon juice, salt and pepper (to taste).
Taco Dip
Mix together and spread on a 12” pizza pan (that you can buy at Dollarama):
8 oz. of cream cheese
1 c. of sour cream
2 Tbls. of taco seasoning (the brown powder for your tacos your remember?)
Then, on top of this “base” add in this particular oder:
Mild salsa + chopped green and red peppers + green onions + tomatoes (chopped very fine) + mozza cheese
Serve with corn chips!
Brocoli Salad
Brown about 1/2 c. of slivered almonds and 1/2 c. of sunflower seed either with oil in a pan over the stove or brown them in the oven. Make sure you don’t burn them! Leave them aside to cool down.
In a bowl, cut these and mixt together:
1 bunch or so of brocoli
1 bunch or so of cauli flower
Some celery (maybe 1 c. or so… depends how much you like them)
Some green onion (again… as you wish)
About a whole “branch” of red grapes (or just as you feel)
REAL bacon bits (you can either buy them or make your own bacon and chop it into chunks…)
Dressing:
Mixt together 1 and 1/2 c. of mayo, 2 Tbls of vinegar, 2 Tbls of white sugar (these are… not exactly right, but they work)
Add dressing when you’re ready to eat!
Italian Twist
This is a Bethany recipe – makes for about 8 people![]()
Cook 1 c. spiral macaroni and let it cool.
Cut into 1/4 inch cubes and add to the cooled pasta:
1/2 c. salami + some cheddar cheese
Chop some celery and add to the mix.
Pour desired amount of Italian dressing and mix well.
It should not be dry you know.
Fruit Salad
Before you cut up your fruits, make the jelly stuff to keep them from turning brown and that adds flavor I like:
Mix:
1/2 c. vanilla + 1/2 c. lemon pudding instant
2 c. fruit juice (from fruit cans below)
Cut and add to the jelly mixture:
(these are just suggestion, put in any fruit you’ve got)
Apple (cubes)
Cantaloupe
Honey Dew
Grapes
Peaches (chunks – can)
Pineapple (chunks – can)
