Today it’s 90 F and humid in an ugly, Washington, D.C. kind of way. This is why all the French run out of France in August! It finally dawns on me. I thought they left in August to get in vacation time before school starts. Not. I get it and I’m leaving with the French next August. It’s much cooler in Pennsylvania!
I made a pretty little salad today from leftover roasted chicken and some odds and ends in the refrigerator. One of those ends were spicy, little stuffed peppers that I believe are Italian and called vinegar peppers. I wonder what the Italian name is… I found the rose colored glass bowl at a flea market yesterday before it got too hot to live.
Anyway, I’m not cooking until the temperature drops by at least 10 degrees. Freezer be damned!
Chicken Salad
Fresh lettuce
2 cups roasted chicken, sliced/diced whatever
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1/2 cup roquefort cheese, crumbled
1 package stuffed vinegar peppers.
Vinaigrette
Put some lettuce into 4 salad bowls. Arrange the chicken, tomatoes, onion, eggs, cheese and peppers on top of the lettuce in an attractive manner. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
Beverage suggestion: Cremant Rose
No question that we are “Salad Days” at the moment:)
….should read in “Salad Days” as per Jerome Kern’s musical….
I guess so…
yum that looks divine !
Thank you Debra.
Your fridge has done you proud. Hopefully the freezer will provide some ice cream 😉
There is a little ice cream in there. That will be the only thing coming out until this weather changes up a bit.
Love the name of the dish…funny but most people under 30 might not know what it means…
Oh. Maybe not 🙂
I know what it means. We had one beside the mangle…..
Best,
Conor
What’s a mangle?
They used to be used to squash the water out of clothes. (after one had washed them on the washboard).
I really am showing my age….

I remember a round tub with I guess a “mangle” attached. You put the clothes in the tub, add soap, then plug it in. After the clothes finished, you’d run them through the mangle attachment and then hang on a clothsline.
Your salad looks perfect for a hot summer day and I love the name. Frigidaire cookies…Frigidaire pie…yep, it works!
Thank you bits. I imagine that the Frigidaire brand refrigerator was the first seen in West Africa. Even today, all refrigerators are referred to as Frigidaires.
Brava! I hate hot weather. It just floors me and I just want to spend the day in the shower. This looks like just the thing to eat before another cold one 🙂
We agree about the weather. At 86, I stop cooking.
Your beautiful pictures make it look so inviting, especially on a hot day!
Thank you Georgia. Looks like our summer is coming to an end and we’re moving into cooler weather.
Looks wonderful! I’ll have to try this one and serve it to my house guests this weekend!
Thank you Eva.
I’m hungry looking at this pictures, let me try this at home…look so yummy
