My favorite kinds of salads are the ones that have lots of interesting flavor, texture and brightness. This salad was simple, but it still met all of those criteria. The romaine is fresh and crunchy, the blue cheese is pungent, the toasted pepitas add good crunch and flavor, and the pickled red onions and radishesContinue reading “Romaine Salad with Toasted Pepitas, Blue Cheese and Pickled Red Onion”

Slow Roasted Salmon with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette
This is a variation on a recipe I saw on Wishbone Kitchen, and it is another really flavorful way to eat salmon. I wasn’t sure if slow roasting salmon would be worth it, since it comes out great at higher temps, but I really liked the texture of the fish cooked like this. The marinadeContinue reading “Slow Roasted Salmon with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette”
Grilled Thai Pork Tenderloin with Soba Noodle Salad
This grilled Thai pork tenderloin with soba noodle salad is one of my favorite meals we have had recently.

One ofContinue reading “Grilled Thai Pork Tenderloin with Soba Noodle Salad”
Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad
Asian chicken salad is one of my favorite salad meals. This recipe was based on one I saw on Ambitious Kitchen.

Turkey Taco Salad with Jalapeno Lime Dressing
This healthier version of a taco salad has Mexican spiced ground turkey breast, lots of veggies, black beans, and a delicious jalapeno garlic lime dressing that really adds tons of flavor.

Roasted Broccoli Salad
This recipe is adapted from Pinch of Yum, which I love. Roasted broccoli salad is a different way to get some broccoli in your diet and the salami/bacon, garlic, shallot, lemon and parmesan make it way more delicious than the boring steamed broccoli I often make my family eat. 🙂 I made a few changesContinue reading “Roasted Broccoli Salad”
Arugula and Charred Tomato Salad
This salad was inspired by one from Kathleen Ashmore, and I absolutely loved it. The combo of arugula, feta, charred tomatoes and creamy balsamic was so well balanced and delicious! There are a couple of ways you can char the cherry tomatoes for this. I did mine under the broiler. Just turn the broiler toContinue reading “Arugula and Charred Tomato Salad”

I am a huge Caesar salad fan. This shredded vegetable Caesar with grilled chicken is a nice variation on the original, with some extra nutrition from the kale and carrots. You could also top the salad base with rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, shrimp, tofu…. anything that sounds good. I used homemade eggless Caesar dressing forContinue reading “Shredded Vegetable Caesar with Grilled Chicken”
