Enjoy this decadent side dish of Brussels sprouts warm (mixed with blue cheese, walnut and dried cranberries), or chop up the leftovers and serve them over greens for a cold {sweet & savory} salad. And yes, Brussels sprouts can be decadent.
This light, refreshing slaw is an easy salad for summer picnics and potlucks.
This fusion of Mexican and Italian cuisines was inspired by the Italian Caprese salad. Tomatoes are still the base of this stacked salad but I have traded out the other ingredients {mozzarella cheese, basil and balsamic vinaigrette} for their south-of-the-border counterparts that my family loves so much.
This trendy salad is easy to make at home and can turn a normal meal into something a little bit more gourmet. Even if you're not a blue cheese fan the combo of apples and/or pears and nuts is refreshing and can be paired with many other cheeses.
The flavors of this salad are inspired by one of my most memorable meals: a roadside picnic in the Spanish countryside consisting of roasted red peppers and Spanish cheese.
This cucumber salad is inspired by the Japanese cucumber salad that is served in sushi restaurants. It's the perfect light starter for many meals.
This lemon-thyme-honey vinaigrette is light, refreshing and easy to make. I tossed my salad with apple, Havarti cheese, asparagus and pumpkin seeds but you can add whatever ingredients you would like.
Cobb salad is the quintessential main course salad of the United States and consists of lettuce topped with hard-boiled eggs, chicken, bacon, avocado, cheese and tomatoes. It is easy to make and perfect for a light, summer meal.
This salad is light and refreshing without being overly sweet. I love the fact that because the salad is loaded with fruits and candied pecans, you don't have to use much salad dressing at all.
This creamy potato salad is reminiscent of the classic potato salad that I had growing up. I love that I now don't have to feel guilty while eating it. It is made with light sour cream instead of mayonnaise so it is actually a nutritious side dish loaded with vegetables, healthy proteins and starch.
