Kohlrabi and Watercress Salad
For as my much and often as I sing the praises of kohlrabi, I have a teeny, tiny confession to make: I had never eaten it uncooked. My dad would always tell us that that is how he had it as a kid, so I …

Apple, Goat Cheese, and Pecan Salad
This doesn’t happen very often, but I had a very hard time deciding what to call this salad. I know, I know. You just call it what it is. But this salad isn’t just what it is. It morphs. Hmmm… maybe the “magical morphing salad” …
Baby Spinach Salad with Dates and Almonds
You may have noticed by now that I love interesting salads. There’s a bit of a running joke in my family that I always casually offer to bring a salad to a gathering, or “try to make us all healthy”, as my mama puts it. …
Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
I love the whole concept of spinach salad with bacon dressing. It strikes just the right balance of healthy and splurge-worthy. Loaded up with vitamin-packed spinach, mushrooms, and red onion, and some protein-righ eggs, this salad makes for a healthy lunch option. Add in some …

Wheatberry Salad
This post will be a quick one. Because this is a quick salad. The kind you throw together to bring to a BBQ or you make on a Sunday night for a week of lunches. It’s easy. It’s tasty. It has wheat berries in it.
Quinoa Salad with Oranges, Avocado, and Almonds
Are you sick of quinoa yet? No? Not quite? ME NEITHER! I love this stuff. I love the flavor, texture, and how it makes anything you add it to into a filling meal in itself. Now, some of you may think I need to move …
Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad
I don’t know about where you live, but around Chicago it’s been a pretty freakishly hot summer. I’ve been effectively using the baby as an excuse not to leave the air-conditioning pretty much since June, and I’m sorry to say that my poor garden has …
