A simple summer tomato vinaigrette comes together quickly and is best enjoyed all summer long. If you think of the best salad you’ve ever had, and what made it that way? The lettuce? Doubtful. Other veggies? I mean, maybe, depending on what they are. Because cheese and nuts and fried onions can definitely make a [...]
A summer bread salad recipe reminds me why I put up with hot, miserable weather. One of my favorite things about summer salads is that they don’t have to be complicated. Because if you get good produce, you don’t need a complicated dressing or tons of extras. A bread salad is a great way to use [...]
This easy strawberry salsa recipe makes the perfect addition to your chip and dip table. Picture this. You are tasked with bringing an appetizer to a potluck or backyard barbecue. You pick up a bag of chips and salsa, because who doesn’t like chips and salsa? That’s the problem. Everyone loves chips and salsa, so [...]
This easy Greek pasta salad is always a hit at parties or as a fresh and easy laid-back meal. Pasta salad has never been something I gravitate towards at cookouts or parties. It’s not that I don’t like it necessarily, but most of the time it’s not full of fresh ingredients, uses bottled salad dressing, [...]
I love a good salad, especially one that is filling enough to be a meal on its own. Like this tempeh quinoa salad. It’s healthy, tasty, and filling. And comes together pretty quickly. If you have quinoa leftover from a previous meal, this is the perfect use of it. I almost always make extra grains when I’m [...]
A roasted vegetable spinach salad is a delicious and healthy way to start the new year! Salads are summer foods in my opinion. Fresh produce is not great in the winter, and when it’s cold, I want something warm and comforting. A cold salad generally doesn’t appeal to me. I say generally because there are [...]
An avocado tuna salad with a twist is a perfect way to start your new year! I recently got some croissants in my Imperfect Foods box (want $80 in free groceries?) and wanted to do something different with them. Besides eating them with my morning coffee. Although that’s really fine with me. Tuna salad seemed [...]
A warm roasted vegetable salad is an amazing healthy fall meal. With the holidays fast approaching, I figure I need a lot more salads in my life. Something has to counteract the cookies, drinking, and otherwise indulging. I’m already seeing my weekends (and even some weeknights!) packed with fun activities. And with that fun, comes [...]
I love a good dinner salad but tend to make the same few over and over because I love them so much. This fall salad, however, may end up in my rotation even out of season. It’s just that good. Grab your biggest salad bowl. It starts with greens. I used baby mixed greens, a [...]
I love tuna, and tuna salad. But trying to find a tuna salad recipe without mayo is pretty abysmal. There are lots of mayo substitutes — Greek yogurt, sour cream, tofu (yes, really!) But I’m not trying to find a tuna salad recipe without mayo that is creamy or anything like that. I’m making the swap [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
