Just Add Soup
Sandwiches always pair nicely with soups, but for something a little lighter, try these salad and bread recipes.
Sandwiches always pair nicely with soups, but for something a little lighter, try these salad and bread recipes.Dorothea Hartman, of Decatur, Ind., sent in her recipe for Nature’s Perfect Salad. “All the ingredients are rich in nutrition, and my husband loves it,” she says. Any type of small-leaf salad greens will work well in this healthful salad, which gets a flavorful kick from the pungent horseradish in the dressing.
Try Wanna Faye Crouse’s Mexican Cornbread to round out your meal. “I have been baking this cornbread for more than 20 years and probably wouldn’t be welcome if I didn’t bring it to gatherings,” the Finger, Tenn., resident says. Featuring the spicy flavor of jalapeños, the cornbread is made with self-rising cornmeal. If you have only regular cornmeal in your pantry, use it and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
