RECIPE Contest
Toss Your Best Main-Dish Salad Our Way…and Win!
Striving to add more green, leafy vegetables to your diet? You can’t beat a salad for satisfying flavor and variety. And this time of year, a refreshing salad served as the main course is a cool way to beat the heat at lunch or dinner. Plus, it’s easy to prepare just enough for two!
That’s why we’ve selected “Super Supper Salads” for our next national recipe contest. We hope you’ll search your files for those hearty salads that require no more than a side of soup or a slice of bread to make a complete meal.
Perhaps you have your own version of a popular chef salad, tossed with tasty ingredients like turkey, cheese and your best homemade dressing.
Send us your savory seafood salads, pasta salads with ham and pepperoni, creamy turkey salad with fresh fruit, mixed greens with grilled chicken or beef, Asian-style coleslaw with pork, sassy rice medleys with cubed chicken, and tuna salad served in tomatoes or on a bed of lettuce.
Maybe you have a recipe that uses a special marinade for the meat or a homemade dressing that’s tops. Perhaps you make a salad with an ethnic flare, using orzo or couscous. And don’t forget that Southwest favorite…taco salad. Everyone has a version, but yours could be a winner!
Remember, you must be able to serve the salad as the main course of your meal.
We’ll select a Grand Prize, second-place and third-place winner plus five runners-up. The top eight winners will be featured in the Summer 2008 issue.
Deadline for the “Super Supper Salads” contest is October 5, 2007. Good things do come in small packages, and if your recipe is one of them, you could reap big rewards!
Contest Prizes
In each contest, we’ll select three top winners, plus five runners-up. The winner whose recipe is judged “best of the best” and takes our Grand Prize will receive $500.00 in cash!
Our second-place winner will cash in, too. The cook whose recipe takes the No. 2 spot will receive $250.00.
For third place, we’ll award a prize that would thrill any cook—a Euro-Pro Convection Toaster Oven valued at $89.99. With its extra-deep dimensions, this countertop oven is big enough to bake pies, broil a whole chicken, or even cook a pizza (a pizza stone is included). But you’ll save on energy…and won’t heat up the whole kitchen when you use it.
In addition, we’ll award prizes to five runners-up. Each of these creative cooks will receive Taste of Home’s Quick-Fry Electric Skillet, valued at $24.99. At 7 inches, this handy appliance is sized just right for preparing meals for one or two.
Contest Rules
You may enter more than one recipe, but be sure to include your full name, street address and phone number, including area code, with each entry. If you are sending entries by regular mail, made sure you print or type your recipe on only one side of a sheet of paper.
Be specific with measurements, directions and the size of cans, packages and pans so others can successfully make your recipe.
Please include a few words about the origin of your recipe, any variations and compliments you have received. If duplicates are received, entries with the earliest postmarks will be considered.
All entries become the property of Reiman Publications and will not be returned. Recipes not chosen for contests may be featured in future issues of Cooking for 2. If there isn’t room in the magazine, we may use them in other Reiman publications, cookbooks, promotional projects or on our Web sites.
Please include a few words about the recipe and a bit about yourself.
