Ooh, that sounds scrumptious, I never thought of that! I usually have to avoid dressing because I am allergic to canola oil, and nearly every commercial dressing on the market has it.

I had never soft boiled eggs before, I was looking thru Pinterest on how to do it and came across a "recipe" using the yolk, as a dressing. And sometimes I add a bit of balsamic vinegar tho not too much since I watch carbs now. its YUM!

Yeah, I often just use a little balsamic vinegar, or my basil vinegar for salad dressing, with or without a bit of olive oil. Love when tomatoes are in season, and tomatoes and fresh mozzarella over some spinach with that basil vinegar!

Not spinach, but swiss chard stalks are almost the best part of the green. I don't cut the stems off any leaves, be they chard, spinach or beet greens.

MAZZETTI balsamic vinegar has NO SUGAR & NO SODIUM ADDED
I looked at the label of EVERY BOTTLE ON THE SHELF AT A&P
This was the only one with NO SUGAR.
The bottle I bought at BJs had 5 grams of sugar so I tossed it

This isn't exactly a recipe you are likely to find in a book - just something I threw together to satisfy my craving for something sweet and cold. It's rather like a Watergate salad, but I like mine better,

Make up a small box of jello and put in fridge and allow to set thoroughly. When set - turn out into a larger bowl and whisk it until completely broken up into a very small chunky mixture - kinda like that of cottage cheese. Take a heaping ice cream scoop of whipped cream cheese and soften it to the consistency of pudding - I just nuke it for a few seconds at a time till it's as soft as it needs to be. Pour into mashed up jello and mix thoroughly. If desired, toss in some drained crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks. Pour back into a smaller bowl that it will all fit into, and refrigerate till set again. I used lime jello, but any flavor that suits you is fine. Strawberry jello is yummy too, and any fruit you like will do too.

Yummy and simple - my kind of dessert.

Hee hee - in January my church had a Jello Sunday - one of the women had never had a mellow salad in her life, so everyone made various jello concoctions - I made Aunt Bertha's, which has cottage cheese and pineapple and maraschino cherries etc. This would have been handy then!

I have another that I make - more like Aunt Bertha's recipe and not the quicky throw together one that I posted here. It's VERY RICH and super delish. It's addicting.

It has lime jello, crushed pineapple, heavy cream whipped, cream cheese, mini marshmallows, maraschino cherries and chopped walnuts(optional). I pour this one into a mold and turn out on to a plate when set. I especially like this at Christmas since the colors are so like the holidays.
