Here's a southwestern version of the popular wedge salad. Very colorful! Spoon on cilantro ranch dressing and Cilantro Ranch Dressing scatter with black beans, corn, onions, chopped tomatoes, and avocado chunks sprinkled with Mexican blend cheese. Sprinkle the top with fresh cilantro. A good salad for a crowd. I cut the usual sized wedges in half for the buffet that included roast pork loin with mango salsa and herb roast chicken with black beans and rice.  A pot luck with friends. I even decided to forgo my usual South Florida footwear for my cowboy boots.

This is a wonderful luncheon salad: Roast Chicken Salad with Peaches, Goat Cheese,  and Pecans with a Balsamic Maple Vinaigrette.  It's a delicious mouthful! All the flavors compliment each other perfectly, just bursting with flavor!  The salad dressing has a little secret  ingredient...maple syrup. It's made with basic pantry staples and a small shallot.   I added all the ingredients into one of my  saved jars, a small dijon mustard is the  perfect size. Just shake it up.  You can use leftover chicken, a rotisserie chicken,  or just grill a breast. I've done it with both. Assemble the salad ingredients. Toast the pecans  for about 4-5 minutes in the toaster oven while you peel and dice your peach. A vegetable peeler works best. If you're making this ahead of time  for a luncheon, just put the diced peach in a small  Tupperware bowl and toss with a little lemon juice. Arrange the salad mi...

A good salad to serve with grilled steaks.  I prep all the ingredients beforehand  so it takes just minutes to assemble. If you don't have buttermilk,  just add a little extra sour cream. I've given measurements for the seasonings to give an idea, but you can just eyeball it. No need to measure seasonings This will make 1 C of dressing and you can easily double the recipe. I mix it up in a jar so any extra can easily be stored  in the refrigerator and I can make a quick  wedge salad for lunch. Sometimes I top it with a chopped hard boiled egg. For a buffet, make mini wedge salads. Just cut each wedge diagonally in half  again and put on a platter and then dress. Crisp and fresh!                           Wedge Salad Iceberg lettuce 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 1 tomato diced 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese Cut lettuce in half, then cut each half into 2 w...
