Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.
This delicious recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Bruce. Bruce says, “We saw this sixteen years ago on a trip to visit our daughter in-law. They keep it from day to day and just add to it when more is needed.” Thanks for the recipe Bruce!
This recipe is designed for you to tweak the way you like it. If you like more tomatoes in your salad, go for it! If you like a cucumber/onion heavy salad, that works well, too. The trick is to taste it as you make it so you can adjust it to your liking.
Ingredients:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Scallions (or shallots, or white onions)
- One clove of garlic minced fine
- Your favorite vinegar & oil dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and scallions and combine them together in a bowl. Add the minced garlic and dressing and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This salad intensifies in flavor the longer it sits, so if you want those tomatoes to soak up the flavors of your dressing, let it sit for an hour before serving.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
