salads/dressings

last day of April and ready for ‘salad season’ though I do eat them year round using whatever is most fresh and local….

a great way to add nutrition to your plate…..branch out and try something new, learn different ways to cook it and prepare it while expanding your culinary palette and cultural knowledge.

make these ahead in large quantities to freeze and you will save tons of time wracking your brain with the question “what am I going to make for dinner?”

be inspired! this salad elevated to AMAZING using CSA strawberries, tomatoes, mixed greens….added cuke, yellow pep, crunchy nuts, and creamy tahini dressing. WOW! what are you having for dinner?

creamy, smooth, earthy, nutty w/a hint of sweetness and tang from the lime juice, this versatile dressing will become essential to add WOW to any meal.

sweet green beans, summer tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and some toasted almonds make for a gorgeous meal on it’s own or paired with your favorite grains or proteins. so versatile to suit any dietary preferences

this unique spin on pesto has many uses – pasta, bruschetta, soup, drizzled over a caprese salad, pizza – spring has arrived!

the ideal side salad that will whisk you right back to summer. crunch, sweetness from the tomatoes, nuttiness of the almonds and a blend of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. simple and perfect!

who says you can’t eat what you want, eat well, and still enjoy tons of delicious foods and flavors when you decide (or it becomes necessary) to be gluten-free! make it vegetarian subbing sautéed tofu or adding chick peas to the salad.
