how cool is this..... I just finished eating my salad and then sat down to watch this video. My salad was a cracker salad!! haha I had never heard of it until I saw Paula Deen make one. I make mine with tomatoes, bacon bits, sharp cheddar, mayo and the crackers. It is the best thing ever!!!! Anyone thinking it's not just needs to try it! You can start with tomatoes, mayo and crackers and just add whatever you want !

Re: Keeping green onions fresh longer. Since I always use my green onions sliced anyway, the best way I have found is to quickly wash fresh ones, dry and immediately slice them. If preferred separate the green tops from the white part, & place them in snack size zip bags, Tuck a small piece of damp paper towel inside, press out all air & seal tightly. They will keep for at least a couple of weeks + this way. They are always ‘ready to go! Use to garnish a casserole, salad, baked potato or tacos etc.

That first salad LOL. It was so sweet and funny watching you put together the salad for Patrick. I was sad when he took the tomatoes off! I used to be exactly that way, but now I go out of my way to put tomato on things (it's got to be chopped very small though!). But yeah, it needed some ranch and he got that taken care of.

You do what I used to do before a teacher at a cooking class brought it to my attention. When I sliced something, the knife would go through the food and hit the cutting board (which is okay) but then I would drag the knife towards me along the cutting board, in essence cutting up the board and dulling the knife AFTER the food was already cut. The teacher told me to learn to cut DOWN and then stop and not drag the knife afterwards. Thanks for your video (and the memory of that lesson)!

These look so good! Since you love salad one of my favorites I copied from a restaurant I used to go to. On a bed of lettuce put a sliced chicken breast that’s cooked with teriyaki sauce, slivered almonds, mandarin oranges and cheese. They served it with poppyseed dressing but I’ve started loving sweet onion vinaigrette.

Sounds delicious…going to try it. Sam’s club carried a Vidalia Onion Vinaigrette that was so good. So sad they have all closed down in my state. I tried to find at Walmart but they don’t carry it. Have looked at other grocery stores as well. If you have a Sam’s club I definitely recommend this dressing.

Hi Mel, aa one of your followers in the UK I would love to see another grocery haul. I find it fascinating how much more variety and scope you have in your stores than we do. Cans of cooked chicken breast and bags of bacon bits for example. such a time saver = we don't have those. I have also acquired a couple of things you use I had never seen before - that 'meat masher' which I now use all the time plus those clip stands for baggies. Thanks for the great ideas and tips and for being so lovely. God bless you all xxx

For keeping green onions fresher longer: I found a tall plastic pitcher with removable lid with a pour spout. Wash the onions well, trim the roots short, don't cut off, then chop off the tops of the green part so that the onions will fit the pitcher. Add fresh water to about half full and put the lid on. Keep in the fridge. You may have to change the water every other day or so, but my onions last quite a while with this method.

I make what we call Summer Salad. It is thinly sliced cucumber, bell peppers, Vidalia onion and tomatoes. I then make a dressing with white vinegar, waters sugar, salt and pepper. I heat the water and melt the sugar, then add the vinegar. I make a big bowl because it last several days. 2 to 3 cucumbers 2 to 3 peppers 1 large onion Several tomatoes. Dressing is 1 cup water 1/2 to 1 cups sugar 1.5 cups vinegar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper We eat this as a side dish and as a snack. We love salads of all types. I am an ambassador for Taste of Home Magazine and have had several salads published. A KFC Copycat Cole Slaw, a Grilled Potato and Corn Salad, A Thai Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing. In the Aug/Sept Edition I have great Pork Chop, Pineapple and Soy Recipe in a Quick and Easy Recipe. They are featuring me with a story in the Edition too. I won $500 from their Recipe Contest for the recipe. I promise it's a good one.

I really do, but even after 30+ years I still think every now and again we should give things another try 🤣

​@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I'm that way with lettuce after I tell someone no lettuce. It's one of the many foods I can't eat due to my Crohn's.

All the salads look delicious! I’ve never tried strawberries or fruit of any kind in a chicken salad.

I feel about peppers like your hubby feels about tomatoes! 😠Yuck! 😝 So I always skip peppers whenever making some recipes. 😸👵

I found a way to store lettuce from another cook, don't wash your lettuces but wrap them in aluminum foil. It keeps very very well, then when I need lettuce, I just ta,e off what I need, then wash them. I found I have had less waste

LOL, thank you. He's a good one, I just like to encourage him to try things again every so often, his tastes might have changed LOL. And I love my Rada knives too, I have the sharpener too and it keeps them just like new! Thanks so much for being here!
