Grape Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Cream Cheese

Stephanie — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:13:26 +0000

Grape Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Cream Cheese is a delicious recipe for grape salad. Now, honestly, calling this salad, isn’t something I feel quite right about, it is really much more like a creamy dessert. This recipe is one that I adapted from Wendy Norris who sent in her recipe for Grape Salad awhile back. I happened to have gone to Costco, and you know you can’t buy anything in a small package there, I had an abundance of walnuts, and what tastes better than walnuts, toasted walnuts.

If you think that Grape Salad may not taste good, I urge you to give this one a try. I think it almost tastes like what would happen if grapes and cheese cake ever met, and decided to make a salad. I used Walnuts in my version, but I think any kind of nuts would go well in here, or you could even leave them out. Best of all, this is an easy recipe, one that you can put together in no time, and you can make this one ahead of time, so you aren’t rushed when making your meal.

Arby’s Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad

Arby’s Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad is a new menu item at Arby’s. Arby’s is known for their hearty roast beef sandwiches but they do so much more than roast beef. They make a delicious nut and fruit filled grilled chicken salad like no one else. Many places skimp on the nuts when they go into a recipe, well, Arby’s knows how to make a chicken salad that is packed with all sorts of tasty ingredients. You can try one of their Market Fresh Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad sandwiches at home.

You don’t need to limit yourself to just a sandwich with this chicken salad, you could put this in a large tortilla for a wrap. This would go well in a submarine bun, I loved this with toasted sour dough bread. Honestly, this goes well simply scooped out and placed on a salad. If you don’t happen to have any grilled chicken around, you could use left over chicken that you may have from a baked chicken.

While they do not toast their pecans, I think you could easily bring this salad to the next level by toasting the pecans in a skillet on medium high heat just until they become fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely before preparing the chicken salad.

Sweet Tomatoes Southern Dill Potato Salad is the perfect salad for when you want to eat light. Simple red potatoes, and yogurt, with a touch of dill make for an easy to prepare potato salad.

Who doesn’t love potato salad, for me, it is a special treat. I have fond memories of my Grandmother Ethel making potato salad, and having for breakfast the next day. She would always fuss at me that potato salad wasn’t a good breakfast food, but it never stopped me. If you are looking for a lighter potato salad, this one is perfect. There is no fat in this potato salad, and anyone can prepare this potato salad.

Chicken Salad with Dried Fruit

Fruity Chicken Salad is a unique chicken salad that has nuts, white raisins, dried cherries, and more. This is the perfect meat salad to enjoy for a lunch to bring to work, or even a light dinner.

Chicken salad with dried fruits is a scrumptious salad to enjoy when you want a salad that is more complex, and has a little something extra. I have made variations of this salad for years now. I recently served this at two catering events and received rave reviews over this chicken salad with dried fruits. I have used either dry cherries, or craisins in this recipe, both work equally well. What makes me decide between the two? It depends which one is on sale.

Marinated Beet Salad

I recently went to a dinner party and was looking for something a bit different to bring. I was asked to bring a salad, and I didn’t want to bring a lettuce salad. My grocery store had some delicious looking fresh organic beets. This beet salad is easy to make, and you can vary what types of oil you use, or even what types of fresh herbs you would like to add. If you are looking for something that is vegetarian and gluten free, this is the recipe for you to use.
