Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries by Heinz: Pittsburgh Salad with a Twist #OreIdaFries

August 2, 2011 by Lauren 26 Comments

Pittsburgh Salad
Hubs and I have been craving food from back home, Pittsburgh, PA.   So we decided to make a favorite the Pittsburgh Salad.  What is different about a Pittsburgh Salad you ask?  French fries!! Yes, that is right.  French fries!!  Pittsburghers love french fries, and love putting them in things that you would not expect.  The most famous sandwich shop in Pittsburgh even puts french fries in their sandwiches.  So of course Pittsburghers had to put french fries on a salad.

To make our Pittsburgh Salad, Hubs and I decided to give it a twist and use sweet potato fries. Ore-Ida Sweet Potato fries by Heinz were the perfect choice because we love Ore-Ida products, and wanted to add even more Pittsburgh to our salad.  Heinz is a Pittsburgh company!  We headed to our local Sams Club to get the ingredients.  We knew that Sams would have everything we needed including the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries.  Visit my this moment story to find out more about our shopping experience.


How to make a Pittsburgh Salad

Recipe:

Before you begin, put your Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries in the oven at 400 for 25-28 minutes.  We added Ore-Ida Tater Tots too!

1.  Put lettuce in a bowl.  You can use any lettuce you want, we used spring mix.

2. Cut up an clean other vegetable you would like to add to your salad.  We used cucumbers.

3. We also used mushrooms.

4.  Add them to your lettuce.

5. To make this recipe even easier, we used pre-made packaged fajita steak .  Just took 30 seconds to warm up. Easy!

6. Add the steak and some shredded cheese to the salad.

7.  Pull your Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries out of the oven, and let cool just a bit before you put them on your salad.

8.  Add the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries to your salad.  We even added a couple of Ore-Ida Tater Tots as croutons too!

9.  Top with ranch dressing and some crushed pepper.

10.  Enjoy!

We hope you love the Pittsburgh Salad as much as we do.   The contrast of the cold salad, warm fries and the cool dressing  are a perfect combination.  And adding the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries added a yummy sweet twist to the salad.  The entire family loved it, and Baybah could not get enough to the fries.  We will definitely be buying the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries again!

Disclosure: This project has been compensated as part of a  #OreIdaFries shopping mission for Heinz with #CollectiveBias.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    Try these steps to move toward greater flexibility:.
    Here are some of the best Houston, Texas Summer camps for your child to develop or pursue their interest.
    In your daily travels, you may see signs in windows of stores or restaurants that say “Now Hiring”.

    Most parents like the idea of keeping their kids active, helping them form lasting friendships,
    and building their confidence. Using the form called Schedule A is the way to calculate whether your itemized deductions would exceed the standard deduction. The time of those learning from you is
    just as valuable as your own. If you are taking a day trip, slip on a backpack that will hold everything that you need for the day.
    There is such a variety of camp options that it can be overwhelming.
    Training on a month long program could cost around
    $300, with those camps with a better reputation costing much more.

    Futsal is also played with a smaller (or same sized) ball with less bounce than a regular football due to the surface of the pitch, which is usually artificial grass.

    If your skin is not properly moisturize, it will dry and age
    faster. The US National Library of Medicine warns against ingesting this petroleum product.

    It must be protected well if the body is to be kept safe and healthy without any serious problems.

    Profollica Best Treatment for Men improves hair body and suppleness
    and protect against harmful sun damage and itchy and scalp conditions.
    It can affect the appearance, confidence, and maybe even the
    self esteem of a person. These products work the best in younger men who
    have only begun to lose their hair, and in those whose androgenetic alopecia is still in the early stages where
    hair is thinning but continuing to grow.

    Here are eight social media marketing tips that will help
    you master the art of using social media to your advantage.

    emails, sites and signatures. Of course, good customer service is no substitute for a quality product at a competitive price.

    there who prey on inexperienced business website owners. This will help you
    to get a better exposure and also your branding approach will be more professional and effective.

    There are many offices of movers in the city of Hyderabad helping people on their
    home shifting and other kinds of relocation needs. You are the only one will be hurt
    by this, so there is no reason not to be honest. Once the actual data for period
    five is collected and recorded into the table, the forecast for period six can be calculated.

    You will come across hundreds of results ones you will do the research.
    I used to wonder incessantly about Paleo diet weight loss method.

    Using the hype around the HCG diet lots of people are searching
    to buy HCG even so you have to also keep in mind that in addition to your HCG
    drops you will need to also diligently follow a superb calorie
    intake and hence should have a good set of HCG diet
    reipes.

    If this is not done timely, the expat will NOT
    be able to use the exclusion. Prepare yourself for
    the possibility that you may fail some of the sections before
    you can pass them, and accept that as a normal part of the journey
    of preparing for and passing the CPA. The bachelor’s degree in accounting includes about 36
    credits of difficult accounting courses as well as another 20 credits in business courses.

    For those who qualify it can be the optimal solution, however, it is
    important to note that not everyone qualifies for the Offer in Compromise solution. Then I
    will upload all 20 of these to my host to correspond with my domain name that I was using for my initial redirect.
    Forums are a great place to market as in general they are based around a niche so
    all of the people will be interested in the same types
    of things.

    Take a separate quote from the company asking for coverage if you want insurance
    coverage to your furniture during transit.

    Once you reach your new place, a moving service provider in Austin will
    even unpack your things, so all you need to do is sit down and relax.

    Get help from your pals who’ve by now hired
    the movers.

    HCG does not occur naturally in men, however if used by
    men it would maintain a steady level production of testosterone.
    There is always oil hidden in the food no matter how well you dry it on the outside.
    Go ahead and find out if you’re pregnant early; you will be glad you did.
