Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

June 19, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love a hearty cold pasta salad in the summer. This version is inspired by the classic Greek flavors of shrimp, feta and tomatoes, which is a favorite combination for me. The fresh tomato vinaigrette and pops of salty feta marry with Greek-inspired herbs, with a little fennel for crunch and bite. Hearty enough to serve on its own, but you could also scoop into lettuce leaves … [Read more...] about Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

Bloody Mary Shrimp Platter Salad

The early days of summer are a perfect time for a big, beautiful salad. Bountiful enough for a meal with make-ahead elements that just require some last-minute assembly.

Steak House Platter Salad

As summer slowly moves into fall, the gorgeous fresh produce of summer fades and the beautiful autumn bounty isn’t quite in yet. The calendar may say autumn, but the weather has other ideas.

It’s beautiful to present and everyone … [Read more...] about Steak House Platter Salad

I will pimento cheese-ify anything. I literally wrote the book on pimento cheese (seriously, Pimento Cheese The Cookbook). Even after developing all those recipes, I never stop creating delicious dishes inspired by the classic flavors of pimento cheese. And for weekend grill-outs or picnics, I turned potato salad into a symphony of pimento cheese. I mean, who doesn’t love … [Read more...] about Pimento Cheese Potato Salad

Autumn Celebration Salad with Port Poached Pears, Maple Pepper Walnuts, Stilton Croutons

November 13, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I’ll be honest, I am not a big salad eater. Because I feel like, for the most part, salad is often just an afterthought. Sure, I like a restaurant salad with nice add-ins that I am not going to get at home, but I find most home salads come from a bag and use processed, packaged toppings and bottled dressing. People seem to volunteer to bring the salad to a party because it’s … [Read more...] about Autumn Celebration Salad with Port Poached Pears, Maple Pepper Walnuts, Stilton Croutons

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
