Salad Lyonnaise with Crispy Poached Egg. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9th this year. If my own mother were not off on her fantastic Italian journey, I would be making her this salad, served on a warm patio with a chilled rose and a freshly baked crusty baguette. Paints a pretty picture, doesn’t it? A traditional Salad Lyonnaise is a poached egg served atop frissee with bacon lardons, croutons, and a Dijon vinaigrette. I’ve taken some liberties here and adapted it to my preferences; don’t be afraid to do the same.
For example, I like baby lettuces with a small amount of frisee in it because I don’t care for that much frisee by itself. I baked some fresh bread and served it on the side instead of putting croutons in the salad. And finally, I fried the poached egg. Yes, you read that right; a crispy fried poached egg.

I’ve seen sun-dried tomato vinaigrettes at the store before, and because homemade vinaigrettes (and salad dressings in general) are better for you about 99% of the time, it went on my sun-dried tomato to-do list.
I simply added some olive oil and red wine vinegar to a spoonful of pesto and whisked away. It seemed very acidic to me, so I sweetened it with some agave nectar and that did the trick. Um, yep.

Although my current kitchen/foyer is smaller than the bathroom of my last apartment (2 meter x 2 meter), I still cook for my family every day and I still send my son to preschool with delicious homemade meals. There are somethings that you should never let go of. The most important being your dignity in the kitchen.

I very often make my own dressings, though they seem to get lost in the shuffle and I rarely write about them so every once in a while I like to highlight one.
Given my total addiction to blue cheese it is not surprising that a blue cheese dressing is among my favorite dressings to make at home and it is quite simple to do so. Your basic blue cheese dressing is very similar to a blue cheese dip where you simply give it more of a dressings consistency by swapping in some buttermilk for some of the thicker ingredients. You can easily tailor this recipe to give you your favourite consistency by replacing some of the sour cream with butter milk to make it thinner or replacing some of the buttermilk with sour cream to make it thicker. The main trick to a nice and smooth blue cheese dressing is to start with a softer blue cheese and to let it come up to room temperature before you mix it in.

Recipe for Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad with Parsley and Mint. As soon as I discovered that I really do like quinoa, I started seeing interesting-looking quinoa recipes everywhere. I spotted this recipe for a quinoa-based variation of the Middle Eastern salad called tabbouleh (tuh-boo-lee), and since I love the simple Tabbouleh with Almonds that I make every summer when my garden has mint and parsley, I knew I'd enjoy this recipe.
Authentic tabbouleh has more parsley and mint than grain, so this is more of a tabbouleh-like salad, but it was definitely very tasty. Normally I'm not a fan of tomatoes in tabbouleh, but they worked well in this recipe, and I was excited that I could use mint and parsley from the garden, even though the weather in Utah is still raining and I had to dash outside between cloudbursts to pick the herbs! Most types of quinoa have to be rinsed, but check the package to see if yours is the no-rinse type. I rinsed with cold water until no more foam appeared, then let it drain in this fine colander. Stir in finely chopped mint. My Favorite Lunch… EVER.

Thousand Island Dressing. I’m simply not the kinda girl who tells the waiter to hold off on the dressing. Unthinkable. In fact, I’m probably the only woman in the Northern (and perhaps Western, too) hemisphere who asks for extra dressing on the side. It’s one of my major weaknesses, I love dressings. There’s really no point in eating a salad for me unless there’s a yummy dressing poured all over it. One of my favorites is Thousand Island Dressing.
