TOSSED SALAD WITH PINE NUTS



Tossed Salad with Pine Nuts image

This wonderful 5-ingredient recipe from Alice Tremont in Rochester Hills, Michigan is easy and elegant...with lots of blue cheese flavor and crunch from the pine nuts. Topped with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, it couldn't be much easier to toss together on a busy weeknight or much nicer to serve company. Alice often serves it on special occasions and says it always gets compliments, and that adding grilled chicken breast turns it into a fuss-free and fabulous main dish.

BASIC HERB MARINADE AND SALAD DRESSING



Basic Herb Marinade and Salad Dressing image

This is a wonderful fresh salad dressing and marinade. The use of the herbs helps the marinade 'cling' to the vegetables making it ideal for grilled veggies. The recipe makes enough marinade or dressing for 1 to 1 1/2 lbs of vegetables. This is another recipe from Andrea Chesman's The Vegetarian Grill, a cookbook I can't recommend highly enough.
