Apple Pecan and Bacon Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
This apple pecan salad features crisp mixed spring greens, two types of apples, toasted pecans, and smoked havarti cheese. The vinaigrette has a nod to fall flavors with a touch of maple syrup.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch apple pie spice
- 1 red delicious apple, thinly sliced
- 1 granny smith apple, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 4 cups mixed spring salad greens
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans
- 1 ounce smoked havarti cheese, cut into cubes
Directions:
- For vinaigrette, add vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper, and apple pie seasoning to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid; cover and shake to combine.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Combine mixed greens with red delicious apple, Granny Smith apple, and onion in a large bowl. Top with pecans and havarti cheese. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Sardine, Avocado and Radish Salad with Upland Cress
I was a kid in grade school the first time I saw fish in a can, and no it wasn't tuna, it was sardines. I had a seventh grade science teacher, Mr. Agulara, who would make sardine sandwiches. To me they were mysterious and from another land. He would pop open an oval shaped can of sardines bathed in tomato. Then he would thinly slice an onion and put it all onto a crusty loaf of French bread and would slather it with mustard. Finally, he would smash it like you would a Cubano and you could hear the bread crackle as he applied the pressure with the palms of his hands. I have been a fan of fish in a can ever since. I would like to eat this dish someday on the Bay of Biscay coast of France, languidly eating lunch and drinking a nice bottle of crisp white wine and smelling the ocean breeze.
Chicken Soupy Stew
This is my own creation and comes from always having leftover chicken. I remember the first time I made it: we were all going to friends for the weekend and I promised to bring "soup" for Sunday lunch--4 adults and 4 little children. Both generations cleaned their bowls. I've never before written out the recipe so, this is its debut in the written word.
