Big Salads
by AndiatBettyCrocker  8/31/2010 9:59:00 AM

Jack and I will be catering a lunch, this coming Labor Day weekend, for around 20 family members and friends who will be gathering together to celebrate the baptism of Finn, our two-month old grandson.

Blake (now 3 years old), Papa Jack and Finn.


I’m planning to make at least one big salad and this is one of my favorites.  Turkey Rice ‘n Romaine Salad is a light entrée salad made with smoked turkey breast strips tossed with romaine lettuce, cooked instant brown rice, red bell pepper and jicama strips. This is a great crowd-size salad because all of the ingredients can be prepared the day before and then tossed together just before serving. Jack will be grilling beef tenderloins with onions and bell peppers for some delicious sandwiches which are a speciality of his.

Are you planning any special meals for the Labor Day weekend that will include big salads?

Awww! Finn is a cutie! I can't wait to hear about his foodie adventures also. :) His big brother will have so much to teach him! My family and I had a mini-reunion and decided to go with a Detroit Coney theme one night. Coney dogs and Greek salad was on the menu. I made red beets in the oven for the 1st time. It was great. :) Anyways... Hope you had a great weekend entertaining also!
