Power Salad with Yogurt Dill Dressing

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (7 ounces) green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces (i would probably use snow peas/peapods)
  • 1/4 cup Cabot 2% Plain Greek-Style Yogurt (0% greek yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (vegan if you like)
  • 2 teaspoons minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or white wine vinegar (Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (kosher)
  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 1/2 cup canned drained chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved
  • 1 cup cooked diced chicken breast (about 5 ounces)
  • 2 ounces Cabot Sharp Light Cheddar, cut into cubes (about 1/2 cup) (Lactose free Cabot)

Directions


  1. Bring several inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add green beans, cover and steam until the green beans are crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from steamer and let cool.
  2. Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, shallot, dill, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large salad bowl. Add greens and toss to coat. Mound greens on two large plates. Top with the green beans, chick peas, tomatoes, chicken and cheddar.
To make ahead: prepare dressing up to three days in advance.

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt.
