Hi everyone, I just found the photo of the salad with the goat cheese, hazelnuts, apples, etc., which was described above. Here is the picture. It's a really great salad! Enjoy, Swimmer Bill

Here's one for you (see attached photo). It is mixed baby greens with lemon tyhme and coriander marinated prawns, fresh mango, grape tomatoes, avocados, etc., in a light vinaigrette with homemade croutons. I didn't write down the recipe. Things were really flying in the kitchen that day. And I didn't serve it with beer, either! Perhaps a nice Napa Valley sauvignon blanc... Swimmer Bill

I eat salad for dinner if I have had heavy meals during the day, and/or if I have been swimming late and don't want to eat a heavy meal. Even though I don't want it to be too heavy, I still try to include a small portion of protein. My favorite salad is the recipe that appeared in the September/October, 2003 SWIM. For those who didn't see it or can't find it, here it is: Super Salad This salad features widely available local ingredients from the Pacific Northwest, including one of the greatest gifts of the early autumn season – the apple. Enjoy this elegant salad as a starter, side dish, or lunch entrée. For a zesty change of pace, substitute blue cheese for goat cheese, ripe pear slices for apples and balsamic vinegar for rice vinegar. Ingredients: 2T rice vinegar 1T extra virgin olive oil 2T water 1T sugar kosher salt & fresh ground pepper (to taste) Mixed greens (approx. 4 cups) 1 Granny Smith Apple, julienned 2T dried currants 2T toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped 2 oz. goat cheese Combine vinegar, oil, water, sugar, salt and pepper in a small jar and shake until mixed well. Cut the apple into julienned, matchstick-sized pieces (tip: do it in a flash by using a “V-slicer”). Toss apple in vinaigrette, then toss with mixed greens. Arrange on plate, topped with crumbled goat cheese, hazelnuts and currants. Serves 2, each serving = 306 calories, 20g fat By the way, if you're not a cheese eater, you may substitute grilled chicken, and it's just as good that way. Enjoy! Swimmer Bill

I do the salad thing, but always with some sort of protein source included. Usually chicken. Ocassionally I'll have one with salmon or lamb gyro. I used to make a salad with Thai sesame baked tofu and Japanese ginger dressing, but I can't get the tofu here. Unless the lettuce is bitter, I usually go light on the dressing. But that's not to be healthy, but because in recent years I've gotten to where I don't like the dressing to overpower the more delicate taste of the vegetables. Other nights I have cheesesteaks, pizza, burgers or wings. :D

Other nights I have cheesesteaks, pizza, burgers or wings. Oh yeah. I think that's why I swim - so I can eat!

Yeah, sure... we eat a lot of salads, for lunch or dinner. we not only eat chef salads, but a lot of bean salads, too, like chickpea or black bean, with/or without feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, red onion, fresh coriander or mint; lots of lemon, and olive oil... yum...

I eat only a salad for dinner once or twice a month. But I do it a couple of times a week for lunch. Of course, I am talking about something with some meats and cheese, a variety of veggies and I don't skimp on the salad dressing. I grow a large vegetable garden. In the summer, I eat a whole lot of salads fresh from the garden.
