24 Hour Atomic Salad

24 Hour Atomic Salad

3 Large garlic cloves minced
1/4 t dry mustard
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
2 T lemon juice
2 T Parmesan cheese
1/2 Cup salad oil (I used Olive, but guess you could use Canola)
1/2 lb. fresh spinach (I used a 9 oz. bag)
2 other kinds of lettuce (I just used one more bag of something else)
Cherry Tomatoes
Croutons

Mix first 7 ingredients in the bottom of a large bowl. Taste for additional garlic or dry mustard. Place spinach and other lettuce on top of mixture. DO NOT TOSS. Cover and refridgerate 24 hours. When ready to serve, add tomatoes and croutons, then toss.

Black Bean and Corn Salad

1 Can of Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 Can of Corn, drained and rinsed
I cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 a bunch of green onions (greens and whites) chopped
Handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (or sugar substitute)
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Mix all these ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Chill. Serve with corn chips or to top some Mexican style grilled chicken salad! Fresh and delightful.

Roasted Cauliflower

1 head of fresh cauliflower
3-4 garlic cloves chopped or pressed
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Lemon juice
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 450. Take cauliflower off of head and line in a greased 9x13 glass dish or bar pan. Sprinkle garlic and lemon juice over cauliflower followed by olive oil (be more generous with olive oil than lemon juice). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (however much or little you want).Roast in the over for at least 20 minutes checking on it periodically, could take a little bit more time than that.

Red Cabbage

1 head of red cabbage
3 slices turkey bacon chopped
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 apple chopped
onion (however much or little, but it really helps the flavor)

Saute bacon, onion & apple in large skillet (largest you have). Toss in chopped cabbage and add vinegar & brown sugar. Stir occasionally and simmer for 30-40 minutes. The longer it cooks the better it is. It is also really good the next day.
