Butcher's Tips

Traditional cutlets are great for quick meals and casual dining. They may be prepared to stand alone as a dinner entrée or may be used in sandwiches. Cutlets are best when quickly cooked, either by sautéing or grilling.

Good Main Dish Salad
by CJ 07/06/2011
Really tasty for the summertime. I did add Greek olives and feta cheese to the salad. I would probably make the salad dressing either earlier in the day or even the night before to allow the flavors to meld. Had with some warmed flatbread and made a great meal.
