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 ...

Classic Pasta Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Classic Pasta Salad Just in time for a snow storm a long weekend BBQ (we have a long weekend this weekend in Canada!).  So I think we can all safely pack away our parkas until next winter (knock on wood).  Anyway so in honour of the long weekend where we plant our flowers and fresh herbs and take out the lawn furniture, here is a healthy take on ...

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

June 12, 2019 By Lisa

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 ...

Carbonara Pasta Salad

May 29, 2019 By Lisa

Carbonara Pasta Salad

Carbonara Pasta Salad I had the most bizarre realization the other day, you could even call it an epiphany; I've never considered a use for  lettuce beyond a salad. I fully acknowledge this is a recipe for a salad but it's a PASTA salad, not a salad salad. Here the lettuce gives a fresh crunch, meant to compliment the creaminess of the dressing ...

Cajun Seafood Salad

May 26, 2019 By Lisa

Cajun Seafood Salad

Cajun Seafood Salad My love affair with Tex-Mex has been reignited this summer. I love the contrasting textures and flavours; creamy avocado, crunchy and creamy fresh corn, crunchy, spicy jalapeños cooled down with fresh tomatoes and my favourite ranch dressing. I've taken a very healthy salad and added spicy protein to make it a complete ...

Greek-ish Salad

May 20, 2018 By Lisa

Greek-ish Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Greek-ish Salad I made this for dinner tonight and thought I'd re-share!  Is re-share a word!?! I love this salad!  I’m pretty sure traditional Greek Salad doesn’t come with lettuce and that is why I am calling this “Greek-ish Salad”. As I’m sitting here writing this, I keep hearing Bart Simpson’s voice, “you don’t make friends with ...
