Harvest Salad
Spinach salad with blue cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries. If you can't find walnut oil, olive oil may be substituted.
Best Bean Salad
I'd turned my nose up at this for years, but suddenly I can't get enough of it. Thanks, Momma D!
Avocado and Black Eyed Pea Salsa
A rich and flavorful chip dip!
Black Bean and Couscous Salad
This is a great salad for a buffet, with interesting textures and southwest flavors combined in one delicious salad. Leftovers store well refrigerated for several days.
Byrdhouse Marinated Tomatoes and Mushrooms
This is a dish I put together for my son, Jordan, who is a huge fan of both tomatoes and mushrooms. The flavors keep blending together, so it is great the day you make it and even better the following day.
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
An easy to make light salad that can be served with or without chicken for vegetarians.
Panzanella Salad
Italian bread and tomato salad! Capers work great in place of the olives too!
Avocado and Tuna Tapas
Living in Spain I have come across a literal plethora of tapas. This is a light, healthy tapa that goes best with crisp white wines and crunchy bread. This recipe is great for experimenting with a variety of different vegetables, spices, and vinegars.
Roasted Yam and Kale Salad
A bright contrast in flavors makes this salad a favorite among friends and family. The yams have a subtle sweetness that pairs nicely with the caramelized onions and kale.
Greek Pasta Salad
Great summer pasta salad.
Tomato Mozzarella Salad
Mozzarella slices are served with tomatoes, fresh basil, and sprinkled with olive oil. A perfect salad alternative, especially in summer when you can get tomatoes and basil from the garden.
Kale, Quinoa, and Avocado Salad with Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
Steaming the kale removes some of the bitterness. The salad dressing ties all the flavors together. A quartet of super foods (kale, quinoa, avocado, and olive oil) make this a healthy meal!
