http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo-jr/savory-chicken-hash-recipe/index.html

Louisiana Vinaigrette Salad

1 Clove Garlic, Chopped
2 tsp Salt
1 Cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
1/2 Cup Chopped Green Onions
1/2 Cup Minced Olives
1/2 Cup Minced Capers
1/2 Cup Minced Dill Pickles
1/2 Cup Minced Pimento
1 Boiled Egg, grated
Greens

In bottom of a large salad bowl, smash together garlic & salt until it makes a paste. Add oil, juice, sauces, & vinegar to create dressing. Add veggies & then fill up with greens & toss.

We take out & add to according to our tastes. (We leave out 2 sauces, olives, capers, pickles, & pimento. We add bell pepper, red onion, tomato, & Parmesan or mozzarella.)

I got this recipe from Justin Wilson, RIP. It's wonderful!

Tuscan Salad Dressing

6 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Garlic
2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
Salt & Pepper

Add all into a cruet or container with a lid. Shake well. Let sit for about 20-30 minutes. Shake well before using.

Double or triple as needed.

This is delicious - basically a fresh Italian dressing (hence the name).

Kentucky Hot Browns

This gives you the recipe for roasting a turkey if you need it. I bought thick sliced deli turkey this time, day after roasting a turkey would be great, too.

Yummy!
