Vegetable, Chicken and Egg Salad

Yet another yummy salad from the lover of salads herself, LOL. Yes, I love to create salads. Why? Because I do not like to eat the same thing over and over again. I like to change things up, try new combinations of food.

This salad makes a complete lunch or dinner salad, and would be even better with corn on the cob and some garlic bread. Dressing is not necessary.

Vegetable, Chicken and Egg Salad:

Serves 4

4 cups lettuce, shredded

1 cup Radicchio, shredded

1/4 cup fresh parsley, shredded

1/4 cup fresh chives, shredded

1 cup carrots, shredded

4 pieces cold chicken, chopped into bite size pieces

4-8 hard-bolied eggs, sliced

1) Combine everything in a large bowl and toss together.

2) Serve with dressing if you like

 

Price:

You could make this completely free if you visited the food cupboard, depending upon what you came home with. The whole kit-n-caboodle wouldn’t cost to much if the herbs and vegetables were grown in your own garden. Expect to pay about $16.00 for ingredients if you purchase everything. You will have plenty of fresh produce left over for other meals.

Vegetable and Egg Salad

I love salads during the summer months. They are lite meals, and can be very quick and easy to make.

If you happen to use the food cupboard, then you likely have a lot of produce that needs to be used. Salads are a great way to use these items up, without a lot of fuss and without heating up the house too much.

If you happen to grow some of your own food, then you can utilize this gift by growing salad gardens.

This salad could be eaten with a meal, or as lunch. Why? Because the eggs make the salad more filling and give you needed protein.

Vegetable and Egg Salad:

Serves 2

2-4 hard-boiled eggs, out of the shell and sliced

lettuce, shredded

carrots, shredded

cucumber, sliced

cabbage, shredded

sunflower seeds

1.) Simply toss everything together in a bowl.

2.) Dish this up and add dressing of your choice.

I do not use dressing.

 

This recipe would be great served with garlic or Italian bread.

Price:

Could be next to free if you grew the food or went to the food cupboard. Otherwise, look at spending about $8.00, which will give you plenty of leftover food for other meals.

Tomato Soup Idea #3

You may realize by now that we love tomato soup here. It is great on the chillier days that we are still having, especially after a walk or yard work.

I regularly come up with ideas for making soup more wholesome. I do this very cheaply, either by using leftovers or by purchasing items on sale. Sometime, the entire meal is free. This happens when everything has come from the food cupboard and/or friends or my own garden.

Tomato soups are easy to make:

1 can tomato soup

1 can milk or water

corn

tomatoes, diced

 

You can serve this soup with oyster crackers or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Tomato Soup Idea #2

I wanted share another soup idea with you today, again using tomato soup as the base. Tomato soup is high in sodium, so you may want to try to find a brand with less sodium for optimal health effects.
