Homemade Caesar Dressing

September 5, 2022 By Lisa Leave a Comment

homemade caesar dressing

Homemade Caesar Dressing One of my 'Guilty Pleasures' and I'm using quotations on purpose is Caesar salad.  The quotations is because it's a salad but delve deeper and you know what I'm saying is true.  Enter the mayonnaise based dressing; the foundation for the cheese and bacon.  I'd say I'm sorry or ashamed but I'm NOT! I love you Caesar salad ...

Marinated Cauliflower Salad

August 30, 2021 By Lisa

Marinated Cauliflower Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Marinated Cauliflower Salad This is the year!!! I say this every year. Of course, foolishly I’m referring to liking cauliflower. I think to myself maybe my mother’s right, maybe if I eat something enough, I’ll like it 🤷‍♀️ But no. No. I do not like cauliflower. This recipe though came close. If you like cauliflower I think you’ll appreciate ...

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 ...

Barley Vegetable Provencal Salad

April 25, 2019 By Lisa

Barley Vegetable Provencal Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Barley Vegetable Provencal Salad This dish was inspired by my concept of an Italian Rice Salad but as I started putting it together, Provençal emerged!  This is one of those dishes that tastes better as it sits; let it stand in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving.  Oh, and in case you’re wondering; barley helps control blood sugar levels, ...

Broccoli Salad

June 26, 2018 By Lisa

Broccoli Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Broccoli Salad Growing up in a European household I was never really exposed to typical Canadian or American food so when Mike’s mom made her Broccoli Salad I didn’t what to expect but it was AMAZING!!! I loved it! I immediately got the recipe and I made it and it was AMAZING!!! The only problem? A lot of sugar and full fat mayonnaise :(  With her ...

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 ...

Classic Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw

August 1, 2017 By Lisa

Classic Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw I came across one of my mother's old cookbooks, one from a fundraiser for my sister's elementary school. This book goes back to the early 1980's which means it has classic recipes from the 1970's and even 1960's👍🏻 I even found a recipe for a "salad" where the first ingredient is jello 😂😂😂 Then I came across ...

Southwest Potato Salad

Southwest Potato Salad Summer is officially here and I love it! Last night we had steak, Italian Tomato Salad with tons of fresh basil, corn on the cob and THIS potato salad; insane!

Pesto Pasta Salad

August 25, 2015 By Lisa

Pesto Pasta Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Pesto Pasta Salad When is pasta salad not a good idea!?! This has been an amazing summer for BBQ’s so I’ve been loving lightening up traditional BBQ accompaniments using Ontario’s farm fresh produce. Seriously. I LOVE this time of year :) Serves 8 ½ Cup fat free sour cream ¼ Cup light mayonnaise ¼ Cup low fat (1%) buttermilk ¼ Cup ...

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

August 8, 2015 By Lisa

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad This is another variation of Mike’s mother’s delicious broccoli salad. I must sound like a crazy person but I actually do get this excited about yummy food!

Asparagus and Tomato Salad

December 10, 2014 By Lisa

Asparagus and Tomato Salad In my world you can never have too many recipes for tomatoes or asparagus.   Here I combine my two favourite veggies (well 2/3, I love broccoli too and apparently a tomato is a veggie and not a fruit; I’m staying out of that debate!). This dish is very versatile; see the notes! Serve 4-6 2 tbsp extra virgin olive ...
