I’ve been making Cobb Salad regularly since my kids were in high chairs. When they were little, I was never really a fan of making a separate “kid-friendly” meal, so I just made them the same thing we were having and served some or all of it deconstructed on a plate – probably on those…

Tricolore Salad with Citrus
Colorful salads are one of my favorite things to eat. The vibrant mix of greens, reds, and citrus hues makes this Tricolore Salad as beautiful as it is nutritious. Every bite feels like a dose of healthy vitamins and nutrients, and I crave it regularly. This salad became a staple at holiday gatherings this year,…
Arugula Salad with Brussels Sprouts, Persimmons and Pistachios
Every fall, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of persimmons at my local farmer’s market, grocery store, and even Costco. These vibrant fruits, along with pears and apples, become daily staples in my household during the autumn months. I love pairing these high-fiber foods with sharp white cheddar cheese, a handful of nuts, or a serving…
Chopped Salad with Salmon, Beets, Feta and Maple Orange Vinaigrette
Salads are a lunchtime staple for my husband and me and I’d say we have them about 2-3 times a week. We’ve enjoyed countless chopped salads over the years, and they’re almost never the same. What ties them together is a balanced combination of protein, healthy fats, fiber-rich vegetables, and leafy greens. This chopped salad…
Harvest Salad with Balsamic Chicken
A Fall Salad That’s Worth the Effort Some salads are quick and simple, while others take a bit more preparation. This fall salad falls into the latter category, but every bit of effort is worth it! It’s been a staple in our fall dinner rotation for a while now, and I hope it becomes one…
Spa Crunch Salad
My friend Lisa is the queen of salads. When she offers to bring a salad to your house to go with your meal, you can always bet on a crunchy mix of all the things and it will be served in the biggest bowl IKEA makes. They are so good. Recently, at an annual Christmas…
Macho Salad (copycat recipe)
One of the fun things about touring colleges with our teenagers is checking out new cities and trying new restaurants. Last spring, in both Texas and California, we inadvertently had several delicious meals all from the same restaurant group – Hillstone. We are big fans of their menus and always had great service, so trying…
Mixed Greens with Roasted Chicken, Tomato and Basil
I’m thinking of adding a category to my blog called “Everyday Salads.” There are countless salad combinations in our house but they never seem to warrant a written recipe. But perhaps they do. My original goal for the blog is to share food with family and friends and I’ve been leaving out so much of…
Mixed Greens with Tuna Salad and Dill Vinaigrette
It’s the most delicious time of the year! I’m pretty sure I said that same thing over 5 years ago when I began this little food blog. But it’s true… beginning with Thanksgiving and ending with decadent New Year’s Eve, (with my birthday in between) there are endless opportunities to indulge ourselves. I try my…
Mixed Greens with Roasted Chicken, Figs and Shallot Vinaigrette
A Simple, Yet Delicious Salad I recently served this salad to my very happy, working from home hubby. It’s such a simple salad, but both of us were delighted by the flavors – “That was a REALLY good salad!” was his remark when he finished with his calls. Food brought to you in the middle…
