I've been making variations of this kale feta salad for years. I recently learned how to massage the kale, which makes a huge difference. I had a friend ask for my recipe, and I realized I didn't have one. This is my first attempt at writing a recipe, so please let me know how it works out! I like changing the ingredients: sometimes a pear instead of an apple, cranberries instead of currants, Parmesan instead of feta, etc. Great as a side dish or by itself the next day for lunch!

This chicken salad is wonderful and easy to prepare. Plus, most of the ingredients you likely have right in your pantry. Serve it on pita halves, croissants, or rolls.

This is a 90's potato salad - a new and improved, redone, much better potato salad. Not only does it have a sweet potato, in addition to a Russet potato, but it also contains corn, cucumber, and peanuts! Corn oil will do if you don't have canola.

An easy broccoli salad with a simple dressing.

This is a great salad to serve for any autumn meal.

People tend to forget to eat salads and other raw foods in the cold weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be a main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.

Pretty and delicious, too! The combination of the purple cabbage (a little sweeter than the green) and the apples is awesome. The dressing is my Grandma's recipe. You will be sure to impress your guests!

This is a flavorful and crunchy vegetable salad tossed with peanuts and bacon bits.
