Roasted Turkey Salad with Apples & Blackberries

I have a favorite salad, which I changed a little bit tonight.  I added blackberries & used a simple lemon vinaigrette & loved the result!  (I forgot to take pictures, but I'm sure you know what salad looks like!)

HALIBUT IN JEWELS' FANTASTIC FISH MARINADE

Jewels’ fantastic fish marinade (The Family Chef) is one of my favorite recipes.  It is excellent with fish, mixed into quinoa or rice, & can be turned into a refreshing salad dressing.  The meal in this post is halibut in Jewels’ marinade, which I served with brown rice & easy almond green beans.  The marinade is tasty with all types of fish, so try it with your favorite. The salad dressing is described in a separate post.  I hope you like this marinade as much as I do!  The marinade will last for a few days.

SPICY NAPA CABBAGE SALAD WITH CUMIN GINGER LIME DRESSING

Tonight I made a new cabbage salad based off of a recipe I found on Epicurious.   This cabbage salad is refreshing, healthy, & versatile.  It can be eaten on its own, added to tacos, served on the side with fish, poultry, or red meat (cumin-lime grilled flank steak) like I ate for dinner, or served with rice & beans for a satisfying vegetarian meal.  I only added dressing to the portion we ate tonight; store leftovers without dressing so that it doesn’t wilt.  This is a very flexible recipe; experiment with ingredients to find your favorite combination.  The next time I make this, I may add jicama & red cabbage.

BEET GREENS, CARROT, & HERB SALAD

I threw a salad together for lunch today, & it turned out delicious.  If you don't have these ingredients, improvise with what you have.  I have a 5lb bag of carrots I'm working on, & beet greens left over from roasted beets I made earlier in the week*, so I used them in this salad.  I like to make dressing in a bowl, then add all of the salad ingredients to that bowl.  

INGREDIENTS (1 serving)

TANGERINE VINAIGRETTE

My Grandmother grows the best tangerines.  Recently she sent me home with more than I can eat.  This is my first attempt to turn them into something else beside a snack.
