Salads

Now this is a summer salad! People go wild for this Berry Caprese and it couldn’t be easier to make, making it the perfect addition to your Memorial Day festivities (or any really any entertaining at all!).

This salad is one of my most viral salads on both Tik Tok and Instagram. I never know which salad is going to really resonate with you all, and sometimes I’m surprised. I guess I shouldn’t have been with this one… it utilizes canned artichokes…

I did it. I made my new favorite Hungry Lady Salad. I have been wanting to do a sweet potato salad for a few weeks now, but I didn’t want it to have a fall seasonal feel which so many sweet potato salad preparations do.…

Are you tired of salads yet? Please say no. Because I have another one for you and it’s a must make. I first posted this salad a couple of months ago on social media and I didn’t realize what a stir it would cause. I…

Forget everything you ever knew about lentil salad. It’s not that I don’t LIKE lentil salad, it’s that I usually don’t LOVE it. This, I love. I usually eat lentil salad wishing there were less lentils. I want more crunch, more texture, more complex flavor.…

If you can’t get to one of my favorite restaurants in New York City, ABC Kitchen, guess what? At least you can have their salad that took the city by storm. It became NYC famous in 2012, and those who know, know. It’s a flavor…

Since posting the salad that started it all (I’m looking at you) I’ve been getting lots of requests for another kale salad. I adore kale salads, so this is not a hard ask from me. I wasn’t sure how much all of you would jump…

Here we are with a Hungry Lady Salad for those days when you feel like you should eat a salad but really want a big plate of pasta.   Have both! This dish is so easy to throw together, and takes 15 minutes from start to…

This next Hungry Lady Salad I have for you is a total crowd pleaser.  It’s beautiful and very flavorful from the basil pesto, garlic croutons, and balsamic glaze.  This salad is a real lesson on the benefit of seasoning each component of a composed salad…

If you follow me on Instagram or Tik Tok, you know that I’ve started a Hungry Lady Salad series and this means LOTS of delicious, healthy, filling salads are coming your way.  Perhaps you’ve tried the Tuscan Kale Chopped Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing. That…

If my last post was a Hungry Lady Soup, this is a Hungry Lady Salad. With hearty greens, chickpeas, and sesame paste (tahini) it’s very filling and packed with nutrients.  I love this salad all through the year, but especially in the winter months when…

Erewhon Market is a natural foods gourmet eatery and store in Los Angeles that draws a big celebrity crowd.  If, like myself, you don’t live in LA, you may not have ever been. One of the dishes they are famous for is this Kale +…

I’ve been making The Best Mayo-Free Tuna Salad for years, and I doubt I’ll ever tire of it. I posted this recipe a few months ago on Tik Tok and it went viral overnight.  I still get messages to this day from people who now…

My husband declared this “Maybe the best salad I’ve ever made.”  And I make a LOT of salads. Granted, it’s basically Mexican Street Corn in a bowl, and a popular dish in Mexico called Esquites.  It is easy to make, filled with rich flavors that…

I love a good summer barbecue, don’t you?  Here in New England, we wait months for the privilege of al fresco dining, and it’s a very welcome change each time the weather gets warmer. As much as I crave summer desserts like this one, and…

Happy Spring, my friends!  It’s been a long time coming, I know.   Let’s kick it off with one of my favorite salads, Shaved Spring Salad with Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette, perfect for Easter or any spring lunch.   When the weather temps start to rise, I lean…

Love caesar salad dressing but not always crazy about eating raw egg? I feel you. I love a classic caesar, but for everyday, I actually prefer this avocado based dressing.  It’s bright, creamy, tart, and delicious.  Best of all it comes together in minutes and…

Thanksgiving may look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still get excited about (arguably) the most important part… the food!   I’ve teamed up with four other talented bloggers to put together a selection of five easy, tried and true Thanksgiving…
