Our Top Two Retro-Inspired Recipes: Help Us Pick a Winner!

We asked our community to share their favorite "retro" recipes with a modern twist in our latest contest. The entries gave us the opportunity to walk down memory lane and fondly recall some beloved classics. You can take your own walk here.

At your next retro-inspired dinner, which would you choose: a shrimp-topped Caesar salad infused with the flavors of green goddess dressing, or a crispy chicken kiev with Thai-inspired compound butter? Maybe you would choose both? Well, for now, we need you to decide which one of these delicious recipes is our Best Retro Recipe With a Modern Twist.

1. Caesar and the Goddess by mrslarkin

This recipe epitomizes low effort with a high payoff. Mrslarkin pulls together two classics—Caesar salad and green goddess dressing—in a delicious salad entrée that will impress your dinner party guests from every generation.

2. Far East of Chicken Kiev by Dan Carberg

Dan Carberg takes us far east of Kiev with his Thai-inspired take on this classic dish. The heart of this recipe is a complex but not too difficult to make compound butter flavored with lemongrass and curry with just the right texture from ground peanuts. Add this to rolled chicken breasts with a crunchy panko topping, and you can't go wrong at your next retro-inspired dinner party.

Please join us in giving mrslarkin and Dan Carberg congratulations in the comments section below! If you can, try one or both of these at home, and vote for your favorite by heading over to our contest page. You have now until 12 p.m. ET on July 8 to tell us which recipe you loved the most. We’ll announce the winner at 12 p.m. ET on July 9.
