Give any meal an exotic flair with this zesty twist on Middle Eastern tabbouleh--a traditional bulgur salad with tomatoes, onions and parsley. Laura Bryant German of West Warren, Massachusetts tosses her version with lentils and feta cheese.
Karen Riordan of Fern Creek, Kentucky dresses up traditional bean salad with a tangy Dijon mustard vinaigrette. 'I'm a busy home-schooling mom, so I love how easy this colorful side dish is to prepare,' Karen says. It's also perfect for picnics or potlucks.
Shredded coconut and chunks of pineapple, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, pecans and fruit cocktail are folded into whipped topping and chilled. Top with maraschino cherries when serving.
Chopped broccoli, crumbly bacon and lots of grated cheese, and red onion too are doused with a lovely red wine vinegar and mayonnaise dressing, and chilled.
This is a quick and easy recipe that never fails to please even my picky DDs. Since chicken thighs are usually inexpensive it makes a economical meal. I like to serve these with some type of rice side dish and a green salad.
