Cooking With Shaz
Make this salad for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day. Simply carve up some red bell peppers into heart shapes and add them to salad greens, sprinkle on some grated carrots and cheddar, and serve with your favorite dressing. This Spicy Thousand Island Dressing is an excellent choice.
Serve with a special Valentine’s Day Dinner. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This will win over both! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Broccoli Salad
This fresh broccoli salad could not be easier. It goes together in a few minutes and is a real crowd pleaser! 🙂
All you need is:
fresh broccoli florets (organic if possible)
T. Marzetti’s Slaw Dressing
1/4 red onion, diced
1 snack size package of raisins
1 cup grated cheddar cheese*
Wash and cut the broccoli florets off the stalk. Cut the big pieces into bite sized pieces. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix it all up. *The pic above doesn’t show the cheese because I omitted it for a dairy free version.
Chill well. Stir it around before serving to coat the broccoli with the dressing. If you like, you can stir in chopped walnuts or pecans or sunflower seeds.

14 red potatoes, about 2 1/2 pounds
8 slices bacon, crisp cooked, crumbled
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup red onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup celery, finely chopped
1 12 oz. jar ranch dressing , Marie’s brand is good
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Place potatoes in medium saucepan with enough water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower to a simmer and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool, then cut into bite size pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with all the remaining ingredients and gently toss. Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
