This Bruschetta Panzanella Salad was born out of leftover garlic bread and bruschetta! Exactly the way classic Panzanella (Italian stale bread salad) is intended to come together.
Happy Monday!
Monday. The day I peer into my fridge and decide which leftovers from the weekend can be given a new outlook on life.
Kind of the way I give myself a new outlook on life. Mondays are my chance to reset. To start the week off right and forgive myself for veering off course by getting back to good intentions.
One by one I’m recreating classic salad recipes to share on Lemony Thyme. It’s been quite fun bringing life to favorites like the Lunch Counter Chef Salad, the Classic Cobb Salad and now this delicious Waldorf Salad {with Honey-Cardamom Dressing}.
The Waldorf Salad is lovely served for luncheons, showers, and other special celebrations; such as a retirement party at the office for one very special lady. Yes, you could serve this salad for just such an occasion.
I stayed fairly true to the original Waldorf Salad recipe that dates back to the late 1800’s when it was first served at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. I did however give the mayonnaise based dressing a little flavor love by adding honey and cardamom. There’s a reason some salads achieve ‘classic’ status and this is one of them.
Roasted Grape, Brie & Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Slightly salty bacon meets it’s new sweetheart roasted red grapes. When they wrap themselves in a blanket of creamy melted brie it’s pure love.
Yes, I admit an emotional attachment to all of my grilled cheese sandwich recipes.
What a lovely statement and I mean that so sincerely when it comes to cooking for my co-workers. Today was a lunch meeting for our fabulous Customer Service Team. I shared BBQ Turkey Burgers, Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Chips and this Moroccan Couscous Salad which is just bursting with flavor.
