Salad Night

We went to a potluck last night. I'm usually given the task to create a salad. I'm not much of a cook. Honest. If you give me a recipe, don't tell me a pinch of this or a dash of that. You have to tell me 1/100th of a teaspoon or 1/16th of a cup, etc. However, I do like to get creative with a salad.

We went to the market and just got a bunch of this and that in the veggie-fruit department. I decided to add some imitation crab meat also.


Then I put it all together in a huge bowl with the Hendrickson's dressing and voila! Salad! I alternate between Hendrickson's and Brianna's Poppyseed. We can get Brianna's here in Hawaii, but not Hendrickson's. Luckily, I have a daughter who generously sent us some in that earlier flat rate box.


I'm happy to say everybody enjoyed it and ate it all up. I'm always happy to provide something healthy for a potluck.

  1. Um-umm, does that salad look good, Kay. I'd love to dig into it right now. I've never heard of Hendrickson's dressing. I'll have to check our supermarket to see if it's sold here. I hope it is. I also enjoy making my own salad dressings, too.

  2. Salad looks good. I like to add a few walnuts and use raspberry vinegrette dressing, along with the stuff you've used. Salads are great foods.

  6. that's a decent looking salad, Kay and I love poppyseed dressing.

    I used to be like that with measurements and now I find I'm just doing 'a bit of this and that'.

  9. Looks beautiful, and delicious. So you put pears in it? Interesting. Don't you love Craisins? Yummy. We buy a bagged salad from Costco ...it's called Parisian Salad and the bag includes mixed nouveau greens, dressing, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and bits of some kind of nut. Has to be well tossed with the dressing first, then the other things sprinkled on or the nuts and berries fall to the bottom of the bowl.

    Yours, with the added seafood, would be an complete meal, as someone already said. Yum.

  15. Your salad looks so yummy. I like to add a lot of things to my salad, but, the only salad dressing I like is Kraft's Zesty Bacon-Tomato, it is so good. Now I am hungry for a salad. Hope you had a good time at the potluck, I always like sampling other peoples food. Thank you for coming by.
