Menu Plan Monday
I guess I must subconciously feel bad for feeding my family such simple meals last week, because this week I've decide to be a little more industrious in the kitchen. What can I say? I like to cook!
However, I'm planning in one night to eat out. Every girl needs a break, right? Plus we have found this great restaraunt where all four of us can eat, and eat heartily, for about $10 total! Gotta love that Arabic food!! Cheap and healthy!!
This week's recipe, for Cobb Salad, is a perfect summer meal - light and refreshing with a delicious citrusy dressing. Try it!
Sunday - Chicken and Onions with Creamy Wine Sauce, rice and salad
Monday - Lasagna, caesar salad and garlic breadsticks
Tuesday - Koosa Mahshi (Stuffed Zucchini), tabbouleh
Wednesday - Arabic Meatloaf and a chopped salad
Thursday - Cobb Salad (recipe below)
Friday - Barbeque (of course!)
Saturday - Eat out!!
Cobb Salad
Lemon Vinaigrette
Combine the following ingredients in a tightly lidded jar:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 T. red wine vinegar
- 2 t. sugar
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 t. dry mustard
- 1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/ t. pepper
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
Refrigerate while you prepare the salad.
Salad Ingredients:
- 1 head of lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup diced chicken or turkey (I use thickly sliced deli turkey torn up - it's easy!)
- 1 cup diced ham (again, I use it from the deli!)
- 3 chopped hard-boiled eggs
- 2 chopped medium tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 4 slices of crisply cooked bacon, crumbled (I use turkey bacon)
Arrange lettuce in a wide dish. Place meats, eggs, and tomatoes in attractive rows across the lettuce. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon and top with the vinaigrette. Serve!!
