I decided to make my own Irish Wolfhound cocktail with a special twist: smoke, based on one I enjoyed at a nearby restaurant. To balance out the sharpness from the grapefruit juice and the sweetness and spice of the ginger beer, there is just the right amount of smoky taste. For optimal results, use a premium Irish whiskey! You could just have enough juice left over to mix up another drink or two, depending on the size of your grapefruit.

I only used the dressing on red leaf lettuce with croutons. It was delicious! I used a high end white balsamic as the base, added the spices, and lightly dressed the lettuce leaves. Yummmm!
Just an awesome healthy salad
Simple… but SOOO good! Fresh veggies are in season. It’s the perfect summer salad. Substituted shredded carrot for the deli meat. Great recipe!
YYYYYUUUUUUMMMMMMM
A great basic salad you can add to. I put in Avocado, egg,celery, cuke,tomatoe, green onion, spinach, ice burg lettuce and chicken. Tossed with EEOV and white vinegar, little pepper but no salt. I also added cubes of Goat Cheese.
This was very good. I left out the onion and bell pepper and used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.
I added boiled egg and cheese…YUM!
Salads are great. I mean I put in onion,grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, celery,tuna and crutons along with the lettuce and dressing. You can add or subtract. I like to go thru the fridge and see what might be close to going bad and then use it in a salad. You can add fruit and nuts. Anything that you think you might like to use, but i warn you to try it by makin a little bit first to see if you will like it so you dont waste a lot of time and ingredients on something that does not do well with something else. The possibilities are endless.
I ommitted the onions and added feta cheese, cucumbers and roasted chicken that I had from leftovers. I also used red pepper instead of green. This was a pretty good salad.
