Creamy Shrimp Salad
April 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment
A quick and easy shrimp salad that’s perfect for warmer weather. The dill adds a refreshing taste and the crunchy texture of the lettuce works well with the mayonnaise dressing. This delicious salad is stuffed with both fat and protein while having just a few carbs per serving. In this salad, I used Boston lettuce (also known as butterhead or bibb), but romaine would work as well! I would avoid lettuce like iceberg, just because it may be too difficult to eat. I also used pre-cooked and ...

Maple Asparagus Salad
February 28, 2019 by Leave a Comment
The Maple Asparagus Salad is an explosion of colors and textures. It’s crisp, juicy, and crunchy with a hint of sweetness. The maple balsamic dressing works wonders when paired with both feta cheese and asparagus. The maple asparagus salad is great for spring and summer dinners, cookouts, and picnics. There’s minimal prep time; the most time-consuming part of this recipe is cooking and preparing the asparagus spears. You also don’t have to dunk them in cold water afterward, however, it’s ...

Arugula & Caramelized Onion Salad
December 27, 2018 by Leave a Comment
I love food that makes me nostalgic for travel. This combination of greens, onions, and cheese are hearty and colorful. It reminds me of a winter trip that I embarked upon the Sonoma coastline several years ago. In Santa Rosa, we stopped at a rustic restaurant that served salads similar to this. With minimal prep time, the Arugula & Caramelized Onion Salad is great for weekly food prep or a family dinner. As long as you store the salad dressing separately from the salad mix, this is ...

Keto Cobb Salad with Vinaigrette
May 9, 2019 by Leave a Comment
With eggs, bacon, chicken, and avocado, the cobb salad is already keto friendly. I tried pairing it with a traditional red wine vinaigrette and it was out of this world. I also added in a little sugar substitute to the keto salad dressing, to sweeten it up, and it was delightful. This is one of the better salads to have if you are near your carb limit for the day as one serving is only 2.4 net carbs! The entire cobb salad is only 26 carbs in total. It is also perfect for those who need an ...

Charred Veggie and Fried Goat Cheese Salad
October 3, 2017 by 4 Comments
There are not many salads I will eat without a dressing because, well, salad without dressing feels like chomping down on a pile of dry leaves. I prefer my salad leaves to be anything but dry and boring. That’s why I absolutely fell in love with the idea of a hot salad and char grilling is the way to go! If you are looking for something hearty and warm, but still gives you that crunch you crave from veggies, I highly recommend making this salad immediately! Not to mention, the bite of a ...

Sesame Salmon Salad
November 29, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Looking for a delicious, colorful salad to brighten up your dinner? This sesame salmon salad is just the thing. It has all the Asian flavor but doesn’t use soy for those of you who are avoiding it. Instead, I used liquid aminos. You can find it in your local grocery store, usually in the health foods section or it can be easily bought online. I find the taste is incredibly like regular soy sauce and I use it quite often in my cooking. You could also use coconut aminos. If you are ...
