I read somewhere that kale Caesar salad ought to be phased out in 2017, but I’m not one to stay ahead in food trends, i.e. the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Bake I posted last week which was my first buffalo chicken anything. I also won’t stop eating something I love because someone says it’s going out of …
Salads
This simple slaw is such a versatile staple in my recipe collection! It’s a snap to whip together. It’s not mayo-based, so it lasts a long time, and it makes your tacos and taco salads even more amazing!
If you’re a fan of that Sweet Kale Salad kit found at Costco, you’ll love this DIY version. I’ll show you some shortcuts to make this copycat Costco salad and poppyseed dressing a breeze to make.
One of the skills that comes out of creating almost 2000 recipes is reinventing dusty recipes. You’ve had that beloved (and maybe overdone?) rotisserie chicken salad with grapes, right? The one served in a croissant? What if I told you to make a few swaps? My version is familiar, but with a twist, and it …
This cucumber jicama slaw is a great alternative to cabbage or salad greens as a taco topping! Also great with grilled meats.
Have you ever had a massaged kale salad? Or massaged kale yourself?
I love the Mediterranean feel of this Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Salad!
My husband says my superpower is recreating restaurant meals at home. (He’s right.) One of my favorite restaurant meals as a teenager was Applebee’s Fiesta Lime Chicken. I recreated this delicious recipe and made it into a hearty salad!

My favorite part about this hearty, vegetarian quinoa salad is the sweet dressing made from lemon-infused oil! The whole thing is so light and fresh.
Spring means greens! Salads! Strawberries! Maple vinaigrette…. ok maybe not that, but put them all on a plate together and you’ll have your favorite spring salad.
Someone once called me a vegetable ninja because I have the ability to win over vegetable haters. High compliment for sure! One of the secrets to making a salad for a salad hater is to make it hearty and substantial so they miss the fact that they’re eating salad greens. Enter: BLT Salad. Bacon is …
Mango Cucumber Rice Salad is a perfect summertime meal with some grilled chicken! Don’t turn on the oven unless you absolutely have to!
How often do you see carrots with the greens still attached? They’re so pretty. I wonder if cutting their greens makes them feel like their “hair” is getting chopped off? If carrots had feelings, that is. Speaking of feelings… I have mixed feelings toward beets. They’re probably the most gorgeous color found in nature, but …
When we first started participating in a CSA program in California, the biggest adjustment I had to make was cooking with greens. I distinctly remember pulling a bundle of rainbow chard from the box, almost the length of my arm, wondering what the heck I was going to do with it. And wondering what it …
Avocado + bacon + Parmesan might be my all-time favorite combination. The tangy avocado dressing pulls everything together. The lettuce? Merely a vehicle for greatness.
I’m a sucker for fresh corn in the summer. My all-time favorite way of making fresh corn is turning it into elote or Mexican corn on the cob — rolled in spiced mayo and cotija cheese. But when I don’t feel like getting my face covered in cheese and sauce, this flavorful, fresh bowl of grilled …
