Our church has a Cooking group that I'm helping organize. This week I demonstrated two different salads... one totally tasted like the Cafe Rio salad that I love- it had a delicious lime-cilantro vinaigrette that was so fun to make! If you're looking for some good salad recipes... or other recipes, this website, LSW Cooking Group Recipes, will be updated every month depending on our theme. I'm really excited about the group of ladies that have been coming b/c they're teaching me a lot AND we get to experiment with new recipes... and you all know that I need to learn how to make "real" food :) since chocolate isn't really a basic food group. Kev loves it when we meet at our place b/c then he gets to eat all the leftovers. It's great!
If anyone has any favorite salads recipes or other good normal meal recipes that don't require too much prep, definitely pass them along.

I have to say I really like this site, they have all their topics categorized on the right and give great directions and pictures (they have a few salads):

3 T. sugar
3 T. rice vinegar
1 packet spices from Raman noodles, I prefer chicken flavored

Mix dressing, Ramen noodles and almonds in right before serving.
We also had an Orange Salad.
