One of my favorite salad recipes is an asian chicken salad.
2 cans canned chicken breast
1 can of mandarin oranges drained
1 can of chunk pineapple drained
30 green grapes cut in half
mayo to taste
Mix the above together. Then scoop onto a bed of green leaf lettuce. Then, sprinkle on some chow mein noodles (the crunchy kind in a can). It is super good and very refreshing for summer. :)
I'm not too adventurous with salads - my fave is plain old lettuce, tomatoes, carrot, cucumber and a few slithers of red onion. Occasionally I add some grated cheese, grilled chicken breast or tinned tuna if it's to be a meal in itself.
Gosh...this is a hard question at 3:15 AM. Lemme see...
When I have ambition, I will make this one from scratch.

When I don't, I buy one from Costco (and pretty much eat it all myself!).
Cheers!
Favorite salad huh? We don't really make any adventurous salads at our house. We are a straight out the bag family. However this time of year, I LOVE Panera's Strawberry Poppyseed Salad which is "made with fresh strawberries and blueberries, pineapple, Mandarin oranges, pecans and fat-free poppyseed dressing." I think I might have to get one of those today now that you have me thinking of it ; )
I just made a yummy pasta salad:
1 pkg. tricolor cheese tortellini (cooked)
1 lg. sweet red pepper, diced
2 cucumbers, seeded and diced
1 can chick peas
1 can rinsed black beans
1 can sliced green olives
Combine all and mix with your own or bottled Italian/vinaigrette dressing. Yum!
I have a friend who makes the best cottage cheese salad. I can't seem to reproduce it tho. It is cottage cheese and you chop up green peppers, onions, green olives, salt and pepper. It is very pretty and tastes so fresh and good. It is even pretty healthy. Other than that, I love broccoli salad and I can make that one, but I really prefer Cindy's cottage cheese salad.
As for stamp sets, I love this one (didn't get it yet) and anything else you design. My favorite SU set is Roses in Winter because you can't mess it up.
Thanks for the chance to get this wonderful set of yours.

This recipe is from the Pioneer Woman Cooks blog! Made it several times and LOVE IT!!! thanks, Lisa K in TEXAS
My fave salad mix is romaine lettuce, orange and yellow peppers, zucchini, broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese, dried cranberries (for a perfect hint of sweet) and a few goldfish crackers on top (in place of croutons) with ranch dressing. YUM! I love it packed full of veggies!
I like to make pasta salad with any fresh veggies and I always add beans. My favorite stamp set would have to be Out on a Limb PTI.
Thanks for always having such inspiring projects on your blog!
My fav stamp set has got to be Fancy Pants Bella Brush for its ease of use being acrylic, so easy to see where you are stamping and also love the images and words.
My favorite salad out is Applebee's Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad (dressing on the side). My favorite salad at home is a mix of romaine, spinach, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red pepper, celery, feta cheese, sunflower kernals and dried cranberries. Mix and top with small amount of Raspberry-Walnut Lite dressing. Fabulous and healthy...the best! I'd love this set. It's awesome and has great sentiments. You've done wonderful things with it. TFS!
I am so not a cook, so I will just say my all time favorite, go to stamp set is Stampin' Up's Lovely as a tree. It can be used for just about any occasion! Everyone else's salads sound great!
Hi Alli!
My favorite salad this time of the year is Cucumber Salad. It's super easy and we eat it right up in my family! Cut cucumbers, add some peppercorn ranch salad dressing, a bit of milk, and red onions. It's best if you leave it sit in the refrierator for a few hours so the onion flavor gets incorporated!
Thanks for offering up your cool set for blog candy! I check your blog daily and am always inspired!
Happy day!
My favorite set after Lovely as a Tree, is Petal Prints. I just love the gorgeous water color effects you can get with it.
I want to try some of these salad recipes!!! Great idea to ask for them!
I really love the mailbox set, too :)
What a great set! My favorite salad has the basics: lettuce, carrots, cucumbers. Then to kick it up, I love dried cranberries and walnuts! My favorite dressing is the organic balsamic vinagrette from Trader Joe's. But salads made at home NEVER taste as good as at a restaurant! Why is that?! :)
My favorite stamps come PTI ever since i found them thats the only place I go to now...........thanks
My favorite stamp set seems to be Mixed Messages by PTI, I just love the dainty little sentiments and I find myself using them over and over again!
My favorite salad recipe is Greek Salad - I really have no recipe, I just "wing it". Green, Red Peppers, Tomatoes, Cukes, Feta Cheese & I make a dressing Olive Oil, Vinegar & some water...yummy!
hmm.. My favorite salad is my pasta salad that I make all summer long-
tri-color rotini
chopped cucumbers and tomatoes
chopped red onion
cilantro
fat free or low fat zesty italian dressing
YUMMY!!
This set is cute and i've been holding off on buying it at the moment- so winning it would be perfect :)
Thanks for the chance
Great blog candy, Alli!
My favorite salad recipe is simple. Fresh baby spinach, fresh strawberries (sliced), and almond slivers. Add a little raspberry vinaigrette and enjoy!
I think my favorite stamp set might be the new PTI guidelines...I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy it right away on Sunday because now it's out of stock!
Melissa
My favorite stamp set is batty for you by stampin up!!
Beth
I'm not a big salad person, however, I'm a HUGE stamp person! I have to say one of my favorite stamp sets is Faux Ribbon from PaperTrey. I think I use this alot, just because it has some great sentiments that are a perfect size, and of course, those ribbons add just the smallest 'touch' to some of my cards. I love it! I would also LOVE this new set! Thanks for the chance to win!
Linzi (linzi@mindspring.com)
I'll name my favorite salad, because I don't think I can decide on the favorite stamp company right now... There are so many great ones. So, it's Taco Salad!
My favorite stamps are ANYTHING Papertrey... and my favorite salad is a Spinach and strawberry salad. I had it a few years ago at a volunteer appreciation luncheon at my kids school and begged for the recipie. I have made it every summer when the berries come into season.
I'm making 2 summer salads today. One is called Texas Caviar and the only one is a cheese salad. Love them both. Yum!!! Cynthia
I think my favorite salad has to be potato. It is a toss up as to which potato salad. I do love a traditional salad but lately I have taken to warm German potato salad especially if you are doing pork. Yummy!
One of my favourite stand-by salad recipes is:
romaine lettuce
mandarin orange segments
almond slivers, toasted
green onions, chopped
equal parts oil, sugar and vinegar
dash of salt and pepper
(sometimes if I have time I will add a crushed clove of garlic to the dressing)
This is a very refreshing salad for those warm summer days!
Enjoy!!
I hope pasta salad counts!!
1/2 pound pasta, cooked, rinsed in cold water, drained
1/2 bottle creamy italian dressing
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup cubed salami
1/2 cup cubed pepperoni
1 sm can sliced black olives, drained
1/2 block mozzarella cheese, cubed
Enjoy!!
Mendi M
No recipes here....fav stamps would be anything PTI releases on the 15th of each month! They always seem to be able to out-do themselves somehow and just seem better and better every single month! How can a girl keep up w/ that? lol Thanks SO much for sharing!
~Lana~
Well, my favorite Stamp Set has to be any Papertrey Set. I love them all.
As far as a Salad goes, my favoite has to be the Spinach, Bacon, Strawberry Salad with Poppyseed Dressing.
Wow! I hope I get picked. I didn't order that set, yet. Tee hee.
My favorite salad recipe is a fruit salad. I use all sorts of fruit. Fresh, canned (drained), frozen. Mix it all together and add one cont. sour cream and one bag of melted mini marshmallows. OMGosh! It is so divine!
XO, Mimi
I love this set thanks for the opportunity. My favorite salad recipe is an easy one, romaine lettuce and everything that I can find tossed in, strawberries, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, goat cheese craisins and chicken.
My all time favourite salad is the "old fashioned" spinach salad. I love the one where you have the eggs, mushrooms, bacon and then the dressing is just mayonnaise and sour cream. It's great because you can make it low fat and it's just delicious! It's so sad when you can list a favourite salad, but not a favourite stamp set!! I have waaay to many favourites!!
That is awesome blog candy!! I just love this set, and would love to own it! lol
One of our favorite salads is one my husband made up! lol It's very simple and oh so tasty!
1 package of frozen tortellini (3 cheese)
italian salad dressing
parmesan cheese - to taste
chili pepper flakes - to taste
purple onion - 1/2 large
1/2 of each -green and red pepper, diced very small
1 small tomato, diced up very small
salt
pepper
Boil the tortellini, drain and put a bit of italian dressing on it, enough so they don't stick together. Put in fridge to cool. When cool add all other ingredients, and enough italian dressing to moisten all the ingrediants. Add salt, pepper, chili pepper flakes to taste. We use fresh parmesan and grate whatever amount we like for taste.
Give it a try, it's really tasty, and a fast salad if you have unexpected guests for dinner! We also do the same salad but with spagetti noodles, tastes awesome! I like mine spicy so I add quite a bit of the chili pepper flakes!
Caesar Here!
Romaine Lettuce (2 hds)- cut into bite size pieces...
1 can (or 2) flat anchovies in Olive oil. Cut into little pieces
Parm cheese - grated!
Pepper
Oh, about 4 cloves garlic, pressed...
And Caesar Salad croutons.. (I can't spell!)
Put oil from anchovies into bowl,
add cut up anchovies, garlic and about 1/4 t. pepper... MIX
Then add lettuce, Mix.
Put Parm cheese on top.. MIX
add croutons!
This is a fast and easy salad that all my family members eat! Gotta start them young...
Thanks!
easy peasy recipe, you have to love tomatoes and onions though...
dice 1 large onion fairly small
peel, seed and dice 4 ripe tomatoes
dress with salt, pepper and vinegar and olive oil to taste
it's really simple and delicious with burgers or with fish
it's a dish i learned from a moroccan friend, so i call it mediterranean tomato salad, but she always just called it tomatoes in oil
hmmm...well, I will have to go with the salad recipe I think.
Mandarin Orange salad
1 pkg of baby spinach
1 tin of mandarin oranges
1 bottle of Renee's Poppy Seed dressing
4 good sized mushrooms
Put into a bowl the package of baby spinach, mix up the mandarin oranges with it. Chop up the mushrooms, thinly sliced and then add them to the salad. Toss...then add the Renee's Poppy Seed Dressing...toss again.
Eat, enjoy :)!
Hugs,
Catherine

My favorite stamps are letters. All shapes and sizes. And there are so many salads that I love. Taco is one of my favorites. By the way I love the mailboxes! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
what a COOL give away. i love this set and all the sentiments, but haven't purchased it yet.
this salad is SO easy to make, and it's pretty to look at. guests will think you worked hard at it!
1 pkg 'spring mix' greens
1 small can chilled mandarin oranges
1/2 cup pecans
1 tub gargonzola cheese
mix the ingredients [you can add a little coconut, sliced strawberries, or use candied pecans too] with enough low-fat/cal raspberry vinegarette.
I love making taco salad at home, and it's something my stepdaughter will actually eat! Sometimes I use nacho cheese doritos instead of regular tortilla chips to add some extra flavor--maybe that's why she likes it so much.
My favorite salad recipe is:
1-Get in car
2-Drive to Applebee's
3-Order Oriental Chicken Salad
4-Take it home and eat it
I have seen the recipe for that salad but it is just way too much work for me :)
One of my family's favorites -
Ramen Slaw
Mix together:
1 Pkg. Chicken Ramen
1 Pkg. Cole Slaw mix or thin sliced Napa cabbage
3-4 scallions, diced
2 Tbs. Sunflower seeds
½ cup slivered almonds
Dressing:
½ cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
¼ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup sugar
salt and pepper to taste
pkg. seasoning mix from ramen
I bring this for pot luck dinners as it doesn't spoil like regular coleslaw that uses mayo. To make it more "main dish" you can add shredded chicken to it as well.
~chris
My favorite stamp set has to be PTI's Out on a Limb. I have the old version and still love it. Thanks and keep up the good work. Angelina
I don't have a favorite stamp set, I like them all, so here is a favorite salad:
1 head lettuce
3 tomatoes, cubed
2 cucumbers, finely chopped
4 stalk celery, chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, cubed
2 T. mayo
2 T. sugar
1 T. sweet pickle juice
Mix together and top with Savor Salt(Seasoning Salt) Gets yummier the 2nd day!
Well our family does not get too fancy, but we do like to add a bit of zest to our potato salad. We usually mix some miracle whip with bar-b-que sauce ( and I like to add a bit of dill pickle juice) and then throw in all your favourites. We include potatos, celery, eggs, cheese, tomoatos and cucumber. Hope you enjoy, I know I will be reading all the other comments to see what I can learn for new recipes. BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOUR STAMP SET! I check your site eeryday and look forward to seeing what inspiration you will send our way.

So I'll say my step-father's Dream Salad.
Drain a can of fruit cocktail and mix it into 18 oz of cool whip.
My all time favorite set would have to be Roses in Winter from SU.
I LOVE roses and I really like the layers that set has. And I think it's one of the most user friendly "2-step" stamps.
PTI stamps are my favorite stamps right now. I would love to win this set because it is one I don't have.
I love salads but the kind I like are simple. Half spinach, half romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms and Newmans Olive Oil and vinger dressing.

My favorite salad is a fruit salad from my aunt. She used to have a great catering business in Salt Lake City.
Orange Honey Mint Fruit Salad
* 1/2 c. orange juice
* grated rind from 1 medium orange
* 1/4 c. honey
* sprig of fresh mint, minced, or 1 t. dried mint
* Cut up fruit: grapes, strawberries, fresh pineapple, etc.
* In small saucepan, warm honey and rind until thin over medium heat. Mix in other ingredients.
* Just before serving, add dressing to fruit and toss.
Dressing can be doubled, but make sure you have half as much honey to the amount of orange juice. Delicious!!
Yeah for some awesome Blog Candy!!!

My favorite salad is an Asian Salad that is so easy!
1 shredded cabbage (or package of pre-shredded cabbage for used for Cole Slaw)
1 pkg Ramen Noodles - Oriental flavored
1/4 c Olive Oil
Black Pepper

Dump cabbage in a bowl. Break up the noodles from the Ramen pkg and add to cabbage. Mix seasoning from Ramen noodles and black pepper with Olive Oil. Drizzle over noodles and cabage and toss. Top with sunflower seeds and almonds. To make into a meal, I add cut up sesame chicken.
Sounds a bit odd with with uncooked Ramen Noodles, but is delicious.

Thanks for the offering of fantastic blog candy!!

laurie r
I'm just a beginning stamper so I don't really have a lot and none to call a favorite yet. But I have to admit I'm loving all the PTI stamps and CHF Kim Hughes collection. I just need to save up for them first.
Ooh, this would be a fun to set to have! Thanks for the chance, Alli! My favorite salad is the Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad at Bob Evans! YUMMO! In fact, that just might be on my agenda for lunch tomorrow now that it's on my mind! :)
yummo! great ideas on here. Right now my favorite salad is "leftover taco salad" - made with any suitable mexican inspired leftovers and lots of crisp lettuce. I am currently loving this one because our 15 yo son is currently loving it - and it is one of the few ways I can get veggies in him without any complaints :)
This set is SO adorable!
My favorite (and o'so easy!) salad recipe is Summer Chicken Salad from Allrecipes.com
I serve it on a lettuce leaf or on a croissant. Yum!
1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast halves; cooked, cooled and cubed
1 8oz can mandarin oranges, drained
1 8oz can pineapple tidbits,drained
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup light mayo
2 tsp dried dill weed
2 tsp sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, oranges, pineapple and pecans.
Wisk together the mayo, dill, and sugar. Add to the chicken mixture, toss well and refrigerate overnight so flavors blend.
My all time favorite stamp company would have to be SU but I still play with papertrey, mft, and hanna at times
Oooh -- I think this may be the only set by you that I don't have yet! Okay -- Law of Attraction -- I have already won this set, and yes, it feels good! LOL! Okay... favorite salad recipe.
This is one that I kind of "made up" based on memory after having it in a little Greek hole in the wall near the condo we stayed at on a vacation in (drumroll, please...) Vancouver, BC! Your neck of the woods! Anyway, we just refer to it around my house as 'that Greek salad' even though I'm sure it's really called something else. Here goes. You need:
*several Roma/plum tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
*about half a cucumber, sliced and then quarter the slices
*about half a white onion, chopped
*Feta Cheese
Dressing:
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Mix it all up, cover, put in the 'fridge for a couple of hours to let it marinate.
Yummy!!!! If you like tomatoes, that is!
This isn't really a recipe but it's my favorite salad to throw together and take with me to work - spinach leaves, craisins, goat cheese, pecans and raspberry dressing. Throw in some chicken if you want a little more protein.

Salad? Well, I love babyspinach leaves with a few chopped mushrooms and balsamic vinagerette dressing. Simply and yummy! To me anyway, lots of people don't like spinach or mushrooms...
As far as a favorite stamp set, I could never choose just one!
My favorite stamp is the large mum flower from SU's Fabulous Flowers. I seem to be obsessed with it. I'm loving all these salad recipes and plan to try a few of them! Thanks for the chance to win!

Judy Rozema
My favorite salad is chicken salad--chicken with mayonaise to your liking, then you add grapes, pecans and gorgonzola cheese. Server over lettuce bed with fresh italian bread--delish
Well, I pretty much never make or eat salads, so I guess I'll go with my favorite stamp set! This was a tough call, but I'd say PTI's Mixed Messages is up there just for its sheer versatility!
My favorite stamp set has got to be Out On A Limb by PTI. I love the branches overlay and the wonderful sentiments! It's appropriate for all occasions.
Quinnie

My favorite stamp set is Papertrey Polka Dots Basic. It's very versatile and easy to use. I love how everything lines up together and creating my own background.
Wow, I never really thought about a favorite set (I love so many) but I guess it would be the CHF set, U R A Hoot by Kim Huges. I LOVE that set! Those are the cutest owls ever! Thanks for the chance to win some really great blog candy!
Thanks for the chance to win this cute stamp set!! I'm a pretty "plain" salad person, so I just buy a package of:

3/4 cup coleslaw dressing (Marie's)
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar jack, divided

2 qt baking dish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
combine coleslaw mix, dressing, 1 cup of the cheese, salt & pepper
mix until well blended
spoon evenly into baking dish
stir together bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of the cheese and the softened butter - mix well until blended and crumbly
spread evenly over slaw mixture
bake 15-20 minutes (should be golden w/bubbly edges)
let stand 5 mins & serve warm
(makes 6 servings)
Oh boy, a chance to win!
My fav salad is the good old iceberg wedge
An iceberg lettuce wedge
cooked/crumbled bacon
crumbled blue cheese
blue cheese dressing
That's it! Simple but sooooo good.
Not a big salad person - Caesar Salad is my favorite when I do have.. Hard to choose just one set.. Right now I am loving the the Imaginesce Penguin dude and Penguin chick. PTI Out on a Limb is another..
We don't do salads very often in our family. But I love crunching on sliced cucumbers dipped in vinegar mixed with a little bit of sugar and pepper. Sort of crunchy, sweet, tangy and spicy at the same time.
Love your stamp sets ... I hope I win.
My favorite salad is the one with cranberry and walnut. mmmmmmmm
Come to think of it, I need to get the recipe. When I do, I'll email you.
One of my favorite sets is this one and the Billy Set from Pink Cat Studio.
Emily
My fav stamp set??
Hard to say but I am going to go with Technique Tuesday's Provence alphabet - it is both gorgeous and useful
Love all the salad recipes which I will have to copy. Love a fresh fruit salad with a little dressing on the top of the delicious fresh fruits we have in California. The dressing is composed of a little orange juice, sour cream, and powdered sugar. Yummy. Hope I win the set. Love it!
Shirley L.
Well, I think I'll go for the stamp set - Natural Beauty (SU). I don't think I'll ever get tired of that one.
My favorite salad is oh so easy! You need:
1 pound spiral pasta (cooked and drained)
1 can of sliced olives (2 cans if you really love olives)
1 small pkg of shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper chopped
4 celery ribs chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 bottle of lite italian salad dressing (I like wishbone)
Mix it all together and chill. You can add lots of other stuff too... sometimes I put in grape tomatoes, cubed mozzarella cheese, cooked broccoli, parmesan cheese... lots of great options.
I love salad. Salad is my favourite thing to eat. If one of my coworkers at lunchtime has salad and I don't, I get so jealous. I eat salad for my bedtime snack. I can't pick one favourite salad, but I probably eat greek salad most often--chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, vidalia onions, variety of olives, red peppers, crumbled feta, oregano, salt and pepper, tons of lemon juice, a little bit of olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar. MMMMmmmm, my mouth is watering.
Wow so many yummy recipes on here, I'm going to have to bookmark this post for future reference. :-) My fave salad is a fresh corn salad - corn cut off the cob, cherry tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, scallion & dressed with olive oil, wine vinegar & salt & pepper. Sooo yummy! Love your set - my fingers are crossed. :-)
Broccoli Salad
4-6 heads of fresh broccoli
1 cup cup of red onions
4-6 boxes of raisens
sun flower seeds
1lb Bacon
Mayonaise coat until super creamy
Once you coat the broccoli let it sit for at least 1 hour, to allow the broccoli to absorb the mayo.
My family loves the ever normal ceasar with chicken. Sometimes I cook the chicken in honey garlic sauce for some added spice and they do love the pine nuts and raisins I also put in the salad.
Thanks for the blog and all the great salad ideas in the comments.
Retired Heather
My favorite salad is easy! Lettuce, corn and bacon- yummy!
I don't have a favorited salad, but looks like I could probably find one in all the previous comments! As for a stamp set, that one is easier! It has to be Out on a Limb by Papertrey Ink.
My favorite salad of all time is my mom's potato salad. I just made it a few days ago for a cookout we had.
Linda Anderson's Special Potato Salad
6 lbs. potatoes (similar size & type)
1 bunch stick/green onions or scallions
1/2 jar Hellmann's/Best Foods mayo
7 slices bacon
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 pats of butter
Wash potatoes and place them in pot of water, deep enough that they are all covered by the water. Salt the water if you wish, and boil until cooked. Fork
should slide in and out when they're ready.
While potatoes are boiling, prepare bacon. Take slices of bacon and cut them into very small 1/4" strips. Cook these strips in the pats of butter and add parsley. Drain the oil. Then put the bacon and parsley mix onto a paper towel to finish draining.
It's nice to be able to set this aside for ten or fifteen minutes before handling it again, because it's hot!
When the potatoes are ready, drain out all of the hot water and replace it with cool water and a few ice cubes. Let the potatoes cool.
Get your prep area ready. Bring bacon/parsley mix, potato pot, onions, mayo jar, spoons, knife, cutting board, butter knife and trash bag along with a nice
big bowl for your salad.
Peel a few potatoes and cut them into the big bowl one at a time. After those few potatoes, add a spoonful of mayonnaise to the bowl. Chop a scallion and add
it. Then finely chop a scoop of the bacon/parsley mix and add it to the bowl. Mix. Then repeat this potato and ingredient mixing until you are out of potatoes.
Refrigerate salad until it is cool. Serve & smile!
NOTE: It is important to continue mixing the salad throughout the process, because it will be very
difficult to mix thoroughly otherwise.
Wow, I just read the salad recipes and am so hungry now; I love salads! Can't wait to try some of these recipes. I don't really have a favorite, but mostly make one with Romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, Feta (love it) and Caesar dressing.
Mmmm.... salad! I love fruit salads! I use watermelon, oranges, apples, strawberries and grapes. I eat it just like that, but you can add any sweet dressing you like :)
Thanks!

green salad with really good olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, pine nuts and baby corn - add a little barbqued chicken and it's a quick lunch!
My all time favorite stamp set is Birthday Basics from Papertrey. I looked for the perfect "Happy Birthday" sentiment stamps for such a long time and this is definitely it!
My favourite stamp (my salads are very ordinary) is the "sweet love" set from Papertreyink. It is so versatile. Thanks Alli.
PS my daughters name is Alisa, son-in-law Alistair and grand daughter is Ellie. Surely with names so similar to yours it is a sign.
I don't see my simple green salad posted...I went through to read everyone else's recipes and nowhere do I see my green salad...just greens, pine nuts, babg corn and barbeque'd chicken! Quick and easy! Add some really good olive oil and balsamic vinegar to give it a little 'dressing'
I can't cook for beans so I have to go the stamp set route. My favorite set of all time is Stampin' Up Artfully Asian. It's so elegant and because I love to color, the lined images are perfect for me. Next one on my list is Natural Silhouette by Kim Hughes. what can I say, I love floral images.
My favorite salad is the kind you can order from Islands restaurant (located in Southern California) called China Coast. It has chicken, mandarin oranges, fried noodles and this wonderful salad dressing that has sesame oil. Wish they'd sell me the dressing! Thanks for the great blog candy offer! This is one set I have not purchased from PTI!
My favorite salad is this one from a local store, Island Ahi Salad. It has blackened fresh tuna,mango,strawberries,shredded coconut,avocado,green onions and bean sprouts with Mango Vinaigrette. It is so good!
My favorite salad is a Greek salad. I love feta cheese. It's very difficult to pick a favorite stamp set, I love them all. Thanks for the chance.
Pattie Brown

Teresa
My favorite salad is Apple Salad
5-6 red delicious apples, grapes, nuts, celery & small marshmallows
top with the following dressing: 3 beaten eggs, 1 cup sugar, ¾ cup pineapple juice, ¼ cup apple cider & 2 tablespoons flour. Cook on stove ( I bring to boil) cool and then put over the above items.
well, my fave salad is to just go to Texas Roadhouse and order one because they have the best salads! However, I do love the chicken taco salad that is at a local restaurant where my parent live in Indiana. YUM! Thanks for the try!
I love salad and can think of many combinations to toss together. My favorite is mixed greens with almonds, dried cherries, gorgongola or goat cheese tossed with a creamy balsamic vinegrette!
Yum- I'm reading all of these recipes...my favorite stamp set is one from PTI I should be gettting in the mail today - it's Boards and Beams. I can't wait to start playing with those stamps. Thanks for the candy!
My favorite stampset is from SU. It is retired now and is called Wildflowers. Thanks for offering the blog candy and for all the creative things you post daily for all of us to enjoy.
Yum is right. I may have to come back to these comments to write down some of the recipes. My favorite is spinach leaves, strawberries, feta cheese, chicken and Vadalia Onion dressing. You can put any kind of fruit in or mix it up. Thanks for a chance at your blog candy. Yum, Yum!!!

Does anyone really have a favorite? There are so many! I think mine changes with whatever season or project I'm working on at the time. Who can narrow it down to just one!
I love the Playful Flourishes set by Close To My Heart. I use it for backgrounds, decorative, etc. I've even stitched over one of the larger designs on my sewing machine for the corner of a scrapbook layout that I loved.
I eat my salads at Panera. Their Bistro steak salad can't be beat. As far as a favorite stamp set goes -- once I get my stamps I separate them by theme so I don't have "sets" to speak of -- so -- my favorite stamp collection is fishing. I use them all the time. (PS -- those mailboxes look just like mine -- I surely could get some use out of them with my neighbors). Thanks for giving me a chance to win.
Easiest Bean Salad Ever:
A can each: kidney beans, green beas, wax beans, corn
1 green pepper, chopped,
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 C white vinegar
1/4 C sugar
Combine veggies and beans. Separately combine everything else and pour over the beans. For best results, let sit over night to combine the flavors. Great for picnics and potlucks!
Today my favorite stamp set is Green Thumb by Papertrey Ink. Tomorrow it will be different! :)
For years it was SU "In Full Bloom" but that has no been replaced with "Embrace Life". What beautiful, elegant cards come to life with this great set.

I really love Cobb Salad but I have never made it....just order it when I'm out! I also love all PTI stamps. Having our box opening party this pm as my combined order with friends arrives! Can hardly wait!

When ready to serve, mix salad with dressing. Crush uncooked noodles and almonds on top. Stir in and serve.

My favorite salad recipe is really just that because my 6 year old son loves it. (He doesn't eat a whole lot of salad other than ceasar and this one.)
TACO salad
red leaf or romaine lettuce
cucumber
tomato (either grape or chopped whole ones)
sweet pepper, chopped
browned ground beef (1 lb for a large salad) +
1/2 package taco seasoning mix
crunched nacho chips (I always use the whole wheat Tostidos brand, but you can use any, or even cheesy Doritos)
Toss above with your favorite creamy salad dressing and serve.
Voila! Have a great day!
Betty-Ann W.
I love this set and would love to win it. I worked for the postal service for about 30 yrs. so it would be very appropiate. Broccoli salad is a favorite, the one with raisins and sunflower seeds. I like all kinds of salads.
fave salad--easy! There is a super yummy summer salad at Panera that I'm now making at home. I've made a few changes to make it my own.
romaine lettuce, spinach leaves, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges, candied walnuts & Brianne's Poppyseed dressing. And if you want to make it a meal instead of a side add grilled chicken
Oh Yum! makes me think that this is what we'll be having for lunch today
any kind of salad is good for me!!!! :-) my favorite stamp set at the moment is embrace life by SU!
My favorite salad is Ambrosia Salad and it's so easy to make.
8 oz. tub Cool Whip
2 11-oz. cans mandarin oranges, drained
20 oz. crushed pineapple, drained
3 cups miniature marshmallows
2 cups coconut
Combine all ingredients.
One of my favorite salads is a fruit salad made with a can of fruit cocktail with juice , a can of mandrin oranges with juice , bananas , apples , grapes and any other fruit you like , mix in a container of whip topping and a package of vanilla instant pudding mix or you can use any flavor of jello mix instead of the pudding mix , oh so yummy !
I love salad! Spinach salad that is...not a fan of salad made with lettuce. I know! So picky!
Anyway, I use spinach, red onion, cucumber, real bacon smooshed up, some sunflower seeds or those walnuts they have for salads, and top it with Girard's Champagne dressing. Goodness! I'm hungry just typing about it! LOL
Favorite summer salad: Creamy italian pasta salad. It's a pasta salad with green pepper, tomato, onion, black olives with a tasty mayonaisse based salad dressing. It's great as a side dish or add pasta to it and make it a main dish.
Pick me!!!! And I'll post the recipe on my blog. :)
Okay; addendum/correction: add CHICKEN to it and make it a main dish.
(shaking her head: add pasta to a pasta salad; think before you typo, girl!!!)

I just love a good taco salad:
fritos or tortilla chips
taco seasoned ground beef
grated cheddar cheese
sliced green onions
chopped tomatoes
chopped lettuce
guacamole or chopped avocado
hot sauce
Layer it up any way you like. Add or subtract things according to taste.

My favorite salad is Greek. I make my own dressing using olive oil, some red wine vinegar and the greek seasoning from costco. I always have a jar of the dressing in the fridge so I only need to add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red, green, yellow & orange pepers and feta then if I have it I throw in some of the tinned whole black olives.
