Strawberry and Feta Salad with Walnuts

June 14, 2021 By Lisa

Strawberry and Feta Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Strawberry and Feta Salad with Walnuts Without a doubt I love summer.  I also love a summery salad. Honestly though, I love all salads; they're healthy flavour bombs with crunch and tang. Salads round out and compliment any and every meal. Here you get the sweet of the fresh (Ontario) strawberries, the saltiness of the feta and ...

Creole Shrimp and Avocado

Creole Shrimp and Avocado I LisaGCooks.com

Creole Shrimp and Avocado This is another easy and elegant dish, perfect for entertaining but fast enough for a weeknight treat! The cool creaminess of the avocado and the tang from the lime juice contrast perfectly with the spiciness of the creole spice. Originally posted on 12 November, 2015! The cool of the avocado and the ...

Asian-Style Marinated Tomatoes 

April 22, 2021 By Lisa

Asian-Style Marinated Tomatoes  This is a recipe that I created years ago!  So many years ago.  Like I don’t feel old until I do the math, years ago. This is a very simple salad that goes great with ANY protein and ANY side.  I especially love when the marinade mixes with the rest of the plate, extra yummy seasoning with the crunch of the green ...

Chicken Taco Salad

Chicken Taco Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Chicken Taco Salad My mother bought me one of the pioneer woman’s cook books.  Honestly as I sit here writing this I realize should know which book it is, but I don’t 🤷‍♀️ It has her picture on it if that helps.  Anyway I was looking through it and came across her taco salad.  Totally inspired this taco salad but dare I say this Taco Salad is ...

Waldorf Salad

December 16, 2020 By Lisa

Waldorf Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Waldorf Salad Here I present my recipe for a classic salad; crispy, crunchy green apples and celery compliment the creamy salad dressing. I am self-professed obsessed with salad (say that 5 times fast)🤣 "A Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad generally made of fresh celery, apples, walnuts, and grapes, dressed in mayonnaise, and ...

Scandinavian Salade Nicoise with Poached Chicken

June 2, 2020 By Lisa

Scandinavian Salade Nicoise with Poached Chicken I made this dinner with the help of my mother.  My father and Mike had both worked a really long day in the middle of a ridiculous heat wave that hit southern Ontario this summer.  My mother and I thought a cold dinner, ie, salad was a no-brainer, apparently Mike and my father had a different idea; ...

Asian-Style Coleslaw with a Sesame Ginger Dressing

March 3, 2020 By Lisa

LisaGCooks.com I Asian-Style Coleslaw with a Sesame Ginger Dressing

Asian-Style Coleslaw with a Sesame Ginger Dressing I never know when inspiration is going to strike.  I was at my parent’s house for lunch and my mother served an Asian Salad Kit she’d picked up at a local grocery store. It was delicious but it had a few no-no’s like fried wonton chips; totally delicious but I was pretty sure I could come ...

Green Goddess Dressing

July 7, 2019 By Lisa

Green Goddess Dressing I LisaGCooks.com

Green Goddess Dressing This is a recipe I shared years ago; perfect for this time of year :) The first time I saw this dressing was on Food Network, it was a mayonnaise based salad dressing with fresh herbs, not the healthiest! According to the Food Network this was a popular dressing in the 70’s but my parents had never heard of it. Oh well, ...

Traditional Mashed Potato Salad

July 3, 2019 By Lisa

Traditional Mashed Potato Salad I'm really inspired by all things salad and BBQ lately since our summer is actually starting to feel like summer.  It's not just that though.  I love learning traditional North American foods that my friends grew up with all around me. I say this because my parents were born and raised in Europe so my food ...

Spicy Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Eggs

Caesar Salad with Egg and Shrimp I LisaGCooks.com

Spicy Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Eggs This salad is inspired by one of my favourite Swedish dishes.  If you've ever been to Ikea then you already know which one!   I absolutely adore the open-faced shrimp sandwich with eggs. To switch it up I went with my spicy Caesar salad dressing and oh man was this good. I mean you have the cold ...
