Jamaican Garden Salad

So simple, yet different. We just got back from Jamaica, and this was a salad we ate quite often. Most restaurants we went to served this as their “garden salad” and it was always served with thousand island dressing. We loved it so much, we made it as soon as we got back.

This recipe includes sweet potatoes and black beans with a simple mayonnaise dressing. I have not tried this yet but is sure sounds good. From recipelink.com

Brazilian Chicken Salad Aka Salpicao Especial De Galinha

Similar to Maionese, or Brazilian Potato Salad, this is another favorite dish of mine from Brazil, my husband’s home country. My favorite version was served to me 10 years ago at an authentic Brazilian restaurant in Southboro, Massachusetts called Ipanema. I rushed home and came up with this and I think its pretty darn close! This is a newly adopted recipe. I will be trying it soon. 🙂

Brazilian Potato Salad Aka

*THIS IS AN ADOPTED RECIPE AS OF 16 AUGUST 2006.* Pronounced “mayonais-ie” this is one of my favorite food discoveries as a wife of a Brazilian. I have had this served to me at many Brasilian cook-outs, called “churrasco” in Brazil, and have had it in restaurants both in the U.S. and Brazil – This version comes from the kitchen of my wonderful mother-in-law, Dona Alvina. She uses canned corn, but the canned corn in Brazil is different (firmer?) that what I’ve found in the US, so I use frozen corn.
