What’s this? A new recipe? That’s right! We are BACK, ladies and gentlemen. Well, at least for this week. As you may know, we’ve been taking a little bit of a summer hiatus and revisiting tried and true recipes. It’s been a delightful respite and much appreciated. As the summer has moved on, however, I’ve slowly returned to the kitchen and this new recipe for No Cook Summer Bean Salad has been on repeat during these hot, lazy days.
Does anyone else feel like it is already February 425th? This month has gone on and on and on and on. Although it is warmer that usual here in Minneapolis, this is the point in winter where everyone is needing a good dose of sunshine. Enter the Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad.
Fourth of July is coming soon and that means camping, cookouts, potlucks and picnics!
And if I know you, you’re looking for a hearty dish that you can take to that gathering and not worry about the dreaded “sitting out in the heat” problem. No problem! Herbed Picnic Potato Salad is full of flavor, without the mayo!

Mmm…BACON. Bacon is LIFE. Hot Bacon Dressing is #goals.
Salty, tangy, and so, so good, this hot bacon dressing is super easy to make! Read on for the recipe!

Edit: This recipe was originally posted in June 2018 and we are reposting today because well, life is busy, recipes sometimes don’t work out like planned, and mostly because this salad is just so darn good. Spring is finally on it’s way here in MN and I am craving all of the fresh veggies and fruit and this yummy salad combines the best of spring into one easy little package. Read on for the more info!!
Friends, I have an important announcement to make: it’s time to toss out all of those bottles of store bought salad dressing. What kind of crazy talk is this? Hear me out. I know those bottles seem convenient and there are a million flavor options, but most are loaded with less than ideal ingredients, are expensive, and don’t ultimately taste that great. I promise you that with a few simple ingredients and less than five minutes, you can absolutely make a batch of homemade salad dressing that will taste twenty times better and elevate an everyday salad into something totally out of this world. Today’s recipe for Spinach Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing is the perfect place to start.

Although my Whole30 is done (how can you stick to Whole30 in Napa? I mean WINE…!), I am still trying to stick to clean eating while at home. I’m also trying to keep planning foods to bring to work. This Waldorf Chicken Salad ticks all of the boxes. Fresh, crunchy, creamy, Whole30 approved. Perfection!

Day 15 of the Whole 30! I’m still alive and even starting to enjoy it. I won’t lie, I’ve struggled at times and I would give my right arm for a taco (glass of wine, piece of bread, Ritz cracker…), but its finally looking like I’m going to make it. Turns out this clean eating thing can actually taste pretty darn good. Lean protein, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and this Apple Brussels Sprouts Salad.

This salad. Goals right here. I could eat this for every meal (actually for 2 days, I did just that-and I have plans to make it again this weekend!). Grilled Peach and Herb Panzanella Salad for the win.
…
All of our Instagram followers are probably laughing right now. Me and my salads (if you haven’t checked them out, head to our feed!). But I won’t apologize! My salads are taking all of the amazing summer produce and making them shine. This Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing will check all of the boxes. (And stay tuned for the Salad-in-a-Jar recipe posts later this summer-these are my new obsession!) Eating the rainbow has never been more fun!

I don’t know if it’s the warm weather or the abundance of fresh veggies, but in the summer I have a serious need to eat salads just about every day. More often than not, I just chop up whatever I have in my fridge at the time and toss it into a giant bowl with a handful of lettuce or spinach and call it a day. Recently, I’ve been inspired to up my salad game and have been slowly collecting new recipes for salads of all kinds. This week’s Good Food Reads: Summer Salads is my new salad to do list!
