Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Winter Salad Recipe with Kale and Pomegranate is full of deep, rich colors thanks to winter produce. It has a great balance of creamy and crunchy textures, and sweet, salty, tart, and nutty flavors!
A lot of people tell me that they think of salad as summer food and soup as winter food. Not me though!…
This Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad only has four ingredients, is full of crunch and has a rich, creamy, zippy dressing! It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser and a great addition to your holiday table! I wish I could say that me and Brussels sprouts go way back, but we just don’t. Growing up, I wasn’t much of a picky eater, except for foods that were highly pungent. That basically eliminated things like sauerkraut, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts from my diet, lol....
Full of fresh veggies and packed with different flavors and textures, this Chopped Kale Salad is perfect for meal prep! And it’ll have you excited to eat salad. With Labor Day and the unofficial end to summer right around the corner, I’ve kicked my fresh-veggies-from-the-farmers-market habit into high gear. This Chopped Kale Salad is basically a combination of whatever fresh produce you find at the market that looks good, all chopped up! With crisped beef bacon and cheese added for protein, along with sunflower seeds for crunch....
This low-carb Cheeseburger Salad is every bit as satisfying as a carb-heavy burger on a bun! And once you make this healthy homemade Big Mac Sauce, you’ll realize you need it in your life. Summer isn’t summer if you don’t grill up burgers, right?! Next time you whip up a batch of hamburgers, be sure to throw a few extra on the grill to make this Cheeseburger Salad. They’re perfect for an easy weeknight meal of leftovers or for weekday lunches!...
This BLT Salad packs all the traditional flavors of a classic BLT sandwich, but without the carbs. You won’t even miss the bread! What’s not to love about a fabulous bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, right? Actually, the only thing I don’t like about it is the carbs. But that’s an easy fix; just make it in salad form instead!...
Cauliflower Potato Salad (aka mock potato salad) has a mayo-based dressing with a touch of Dijon, dill, and a few spices. It’s every bit as delicious as regular potato salad, but with a fraction of the carbs! The magical property of cauliflower is that you can transform it into almost anything else. Cauliflower lends itself well to low carb simulations of pizza crust, bread sticks, rice, mashed potato, macaroni and cheese, and yes, even potato salad! I know what you’re thinking, and I was skeptical too, but let me explain....
Spinach Strawberry Salad is a healthy, delicious lunch that makes great use out of fresh, sweet, and juicy local strawberries! I’m always surprised at how many people tell me they don’t like salad because it’s boring! I guess that depends on what you put into it. I mean, if it’s just a bowl of leaves I would consider it rabbit food too, lol. But salad doesn’t have to be that way. With a variety of sweet and savory flavors, creamy and crunchy textures, and a quick homemade vinaigrette to pull it all together, my Spinach Strawberry Salad is anything but boring!...
Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad has leftover chicken, cheddar cheese, carrots + celery, and bowtie pasta all in a creamy, zippy sauce! It’s a perfect side dish for a summer picnic or potluck, and it can also be a full meal if you add a big green salad. Being a native Buffalonian means anything related to Buffalo chicken is pure comfort food for me....
This recipe for Greek Salad Bowls with Spiced Lamb Burgers is full of bold flavors, such as feta cheese, Kalamata olives, garlicky yogurt dressing, and spiced lamb burgers! I’ve been to visit Mike at work at the Pentagon a couple times now. As cool as it is to get a private tour of the DOD’s HQ from my hubby, my favorite part is always lunch....
Spicy Blue Cheese Celery Slaw features the crunch of celery in a creamy dressing with a punch of heat from Frank’s RedHot and the tangy flavor of blue cheese. It’s perfect served with Buffalo wings or Buffalo Chicken Burgers! When I was younger I hated celery with a purple passion, lol. As the perfect vessel for things like peanut butter, cream cheese, or French onion dip, celery is such an odd vegetable to hate on. But I wouldn’t have been caught dead munching a celery stick. Not even along with a chicken wing and blue cheese for dipping!...
