2 bunches raw broccoli, cut in small pieces
1 medium onion (red or sweet) chopped
10-12 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar
Dressing:
1 cup mayonaisse
2 Tbsp wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Mix everything together and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
*Note: I never made any promises about helping you lose weight. ;) This salad stays yummy for left overs the next day.
My Mom made this for us growing up, and it is one of those recipes that I have continued to make for my own family. I simply love it! The only thing I've added over the years is the can of black beans. It stretches the meat filling. Yum!
Brown together 1 lb ground beef and 1 small onion, chopped
Add:
6 oz can tomato paste
8 oz can tomato sauce
3 6-oz cans of water
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp each: oregano, chili powder, and cumin
Cover and simmer slowly for 40 minutes. Add 1 cup cooked white rice and a can of black beans.
Serve on top of fritos corn chips and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, ranch dressing, sour cream, avacado, or any combination of the above! Beware: it really adds up—don’t overload that plate! ☺
How Reese likes to eat it:
This is a dressing recipe from my grandma. I LOVE it with fresh spinach. I go through phases where I eat it for lunch every day!
Poppy seed dressing:
1 tsp poppy seed
1 cup oil
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
½ tsp dry mustard
My favorite spinach salad combo: Fresh spinach leaves, crumbled Feta cheese, crumbled bacon, and craisins!
1 ½ lbs chopped cooked chicken
Flour tortillas
Dressing:
1 clove garlic, puree
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp anchovy paste or salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
Salad:
Romaine or other lettuce, chopped
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup croutons, crushed
1 cup chopped tomatoes (optional)
Mix dressing together in bowl and whisk. Assemble wraps by placing desired amount of salad, chicken, and dressing on each tortilla. Tuck bottom of tortilla up over the filling, and roll the sides.
Note: You can TOTALLY use store-bought Caesar salad dressing and a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, making this a super easy meal to make!
