The week following Thanksgiving we're always looking to have some lighter dinners. Salads often fit the bill quite nicely, but they need to be elevated to meal status. This salad uses many of the flavors we'd enjoy on a typical "Taco Tuesday." Feel free to omit components when plating for each individual — some in this household can't stand raw tomato or avocado but happily eat this salad so long as they're omitted. There are enough components left to still make it interesting for them.

French dressing has always been a favorite of mine. When I was younger my mom always had "Grandma Frey" salad dressing on hand, which she made with ketchup, oil, and other stuff (no idea what it was). It was a nice red French dressing. Eventually the Ken's line of dressings was introduced, and their honey French was a delicious departure from the usual (though it was still French!). This is an homage to both Grandma Frey and Ken…whoever he is!

I'm not a big fan of the Melting Pot restaurant. You know the joke: if I'm spending money on dinner out why would I want to have to cook it for myself? My favorite part of the "Big Night Out" menu is the salad, most especially their house dressing. Years ago I read that the secret to its being not just another basic honey mustard dressing is orange juice.

When bananas become overripe they're perfect for a breakfast muffin. I wanted a muffin with a bit more complex flavor: something that reminded me to a bowl of honey nut O-shaped cereal (you know the one) with banana on it.

This is a COVID-19 stuck-at-home recipe Alton Brown published up on Facebook in his usual humorous fashion. No changes made — or necessary. I might add some chocolate chips if I'm feeling adventurous...

This is a very minor modification to Brian Lagerstrom's recipe, found in this video.
