I did the BBQ pork salad at a show last summer. Several guests commented on how they never thought of pork for a salad, and it all got eaten & raved upon. I love that BBQ rub!

It shows the DCB in the microwave (good for summer cooking), use the boning knife to get rid of the silver skin on the tenderloin, if you have it...otherwise, any other piece of PC cutlery.

Heather, do you have the Southwestern Layered Salad? It was in the salads cards. It makes a good main dish salad with the addition of a chicken layer. You could cook some chicken in the grill pan or DCB and add it.

Hmm, I think I have them if not I can find the recipe somewhere I am sure! Thanks, that will show the trifle bowl off as well, my Fave product!

I will forward this on to her! Thanks!

The pork salad was a big hit for me; & the 7 layer SW is definately a hit every time!:thumbup:

I made the grapefruit chicken salad. It uses a lot of product, for sure. I thought it tasted very good.

Does anyone have the 7 layer sw salad? I don't have the cards.

I have demo'd the Cheeseburger salad 2x and everyone raved about it.

Hi, Dar! Welcome!! (I'm in Southfield, so not too far from you.) This is the gist of the recipe. The nice thing about salads is they don't need to be exact. The instructions listed are for layering in the Trifle Bowl, but you can use ay large bowl.1 can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 green pepper, chopped
1 16 oz. bag iceberg lettuce mix
1 carton grape tomatoes
1 16 oz. carton sour cream
1 jar salsa (I forget the size I used - I think it was 16 oz.)
1 8 oz. bag shredded cheddar cheese
sliced green onionsCombine sour cream and salsa in a bowl. Set aside.
Layer half of each ingredient, pushing beans and pepper toward the outside of the trifle bowl so they show up, and cutting tomatoes in half, placing cut side against the side of the trifle bowl. Layer in this order:
beans
peppers
lettuce
tomatoes
dressing (salsa/sour cream)
cheese
green onionsRepeat layers.You can add grilled chicken or taco meat on top of the lettuce for a heartier salad.

I did the pork tenderloin salad all last fall and had rave reviews and great sales!

I love the Thai Chicken Stir-Fry Salad. But I do a bit of a twist. Instead of doing the spinach or the rice version I do both. I make the salad as the directions say to then I serve it over the rice. The hot rice wilts the spinach and it's a very good meal - sometimes I add chinese peas or sugar snaps to it. Even DH likes it that way - we had this just the other night. When reheated it's still good. I like to do it this way at shows too, that way I can show off several great items: Salad spinner, cookware, rice cooker.

Chef Ann Thank You Soooo much for the recipe. It does sound delicious.

I haven't tried any of the other salad recipes but I am going to offer the cheese burger salad this spring. It was so good!

We made the Chicken, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad at my last meeting and it was UNBELIEVABLY delicious!! It uses a lot of products, so just be sure you have them all, but I really think it's a fantastic spring/summer recipe. I'm offering the salads and sweet & simple recipes to my hosts to start, and if they want something else, I try the other themes. I try to stick to the themes, since they tell me everything I need to know on how to make, sell, cross-sell and everything else around the recipe and the show!! Makes my job easier if I don't have to figure that all out, too!

We LOVE that Southwestern Salad recipe that Ann suggested. I made it for a few shows last season and it is always a hit. Guests loved to eat it with tortilla chips just like they would any 7 layer dip.
