My brother owns a cafe in Anchorage and he serves a salad that I am absolutely in love with. Funny thing is just months ago I proclaimed my hatred for salads and now I have at least 4 that I could honestly eat everyday. I guess it all depends on how they are made. Anyhow the salad he serves is a Hawaiian salad. He uses Vidalia Onion salad dressing that he gets at Costco. I tried to find it at the stores around here but could only find Ken's Steak house brand. Still REALLY good!

Teriyaki chicken (you can use just plain chicken as well)

Top with Vidalia Onion dressing and you have a REALLY tasty lunch or dinner or whatever!!!

Scrumptious!
If you like Catalina dressing try this:
Lettuce
Cubed chicken
Pineapple chunks
Purple Grapes
Chow Mein Noodles
Toss w/ Catalina. Scrumptious.
Also, try this:
Harvest Salad
chopped romaine
chopped pears
chopped apples
chopped, crisped, real bacon (not bacon bits)
large curd cottage cheese, rinsed in a colander until just the curds are left (no more milk)
cashew nuts, coarsely chopped
craisins
dressing:
1 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. poppy seed
You will thank me. :)
Also, with the same dressing:
Torn Romaine Lettuce (spinach is good too)
green onions
red grapes, halved
sliced strawberries
sugared almonds
Dressing:
1cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp. poppy seed
Sugared Almonds:
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup sugar
Heat in a skillet at fairly high heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the almonds are toasted and the sugar has coated them. Remove from heat and continue to stir so that you don't end up with almond brittle.
