Salmon & Almond Salad

Even the kids ate this one!  It was so yummy.  We presented all these ingredients in separate bowls and dished it out as desired.  I suppose it could all be tossed together too though.  :)

Ingredients:

  • spring mix salad, bag (approx 6 cups)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup grapes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup candied almonds
  • 4 servings glazed salmon
  • 4 Tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 4 Tbsp Kraft Raspberry Vinaigrette salad dressing

Enjoy on a nice hot summer day, my friends!

Japanese GF Salad

This one didn’t exactly get two thumbs up from the kids, but the adults in this family adore it!  This salad usually calls for ichiban noodles.  I dont’ use any noodles, and I find that the bean sprouts, celery, snow peas, etc, give it enough crunch.  I add extra cashews for a little fullness.  Yum!

  • 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 1 can mushroom pieces, drained
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 3/4 cup cashews, broken
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 handfuls snow peas (or baby snap peas)

Dressing: combine in a shaker:

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp soya sauce
  • 3 Tbsp vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon (or beef)

Add dressing to salad, toss & serve! Serve the same day.
