GARDEN FRESH BROCCOLI TOMATO AND BEAN SALAD!



Garden Fresh Broccoli Tomato and Bean Salad! image

This salad is filling and really simple and quick to make! The cumin style dressing combined with the black beans marry nicely and I decided at the last minute to add chili pepper flakes, which raised the bar! Came up with this because I had the salad dressing already made and the salad ingredients on hand fresh from my garden.

Provided by Gayle Rich-Boxman @richbox-3286

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon(s) grated lime peel (green portion)
6 tablespoon(s) fresh squeezed lime juice
4 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt or more to your taste
3/4 cup(s) olive oil
SALAD INGREDIENTS
2 bunch(es) broccoli florets only
1 can(s) black beans
1 small purple onion
1/2 pound(s) sun gold tomatoes (or cherry)
1 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) fresh ground pepper
pinch chili pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Make salad dressing ahead if it's easier! I can keep this salad dressing for over a week, and just zap it in the microwave before using in the salad.
  • Put broccoli florets into a steamer basket and a large pot with about an inch of water. Steam til firm/tender.
  • While steaming broccoli, mince the onion and cut tomatoes in half. Sun Gold tomatoes are my very favorite from my garden, but cherry or other small tomatoes will work as a substitute.
  • Put dressing on the bottom and then add broccoli, beans, onion and tomatoes. Toss and add chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. I use Jacobsen's salt/pepper combo and add the chili pepper flakes last. Serve at room temperature and can be chilled for later! (The wine is for the chef!)

GARDEN FRESH PASTA SALAD



Garden Fresh Pasta Salad image

This is one of the best tasting salads, I hope that you will enjoy it. Pasta Salads absorb dressing when stored in the refrigerator. A trick to help the salad moist and creamy is to stir some of the reserved pasta cooking water into the chilled salad just before serving. For added flavor, sprinkle salad with bacon bits just before serving.

GARDEN FRESH COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD



Garden Fresh Cottage Cheese Salad image

This recipe has been in the family for decades. You can use whatever type cottage cheese you prefer-though regular or 2% turns out best-the same goes for the curd as we have used both large and small- I suppose large curd may provide a creamier salad. Cooking time is chill time.

6 cups cottage cheese

1 bunch radish, sliced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Enjoy!

FRESH GARDEN PEA SALAD



Fresh Garden Pea Salad image

This recipe is my version of Luby's pea salad. My daughters always ask for it at family bbq's. My british side of the family are now new fans of it, as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Fresh peas work great for this recipe. Just blanch them and then dry them well. Don't be concerned if the dressing seams skimpy at first. The salad will get moist as it sits.
