I’m always on the the hunt for new, delicious salad recipes this time of year to add to our repertoire and serve as a main course. I always feel better when I’ve had a leafy salad for lunch or dinner instead of heavy meat and potatoes. Especially when it’s warm. Plus, it’s an excuse to pick up some delicious fresh bread to go with it. Do you have a favorite summer salad? Next week I’m planning on doing a personal challenge of eating a new and different salad every night for dinner. Would you like to join in on the challenge? I’ll report back for sure! A few of my current favorites are below. I’d love to hear yours as well to consider for our menu next week.
My current favorites…
Sauteed corn, black bean and avocado
Red rice and quinoa with orange and pistachios
Ones I’m considering for next week’s challenge:
Dr. Weil’s kale salad (Reminds me of the amazing one they serve at the cafe down the street. Love that it’s even better the next day. Hate soggy leftover salad!)
Garlic roasted potato, spinach and egg
Brussels sprouts salad with pomegranate, walnuts, jalapeno
Grilled corn, poblano peppers, black beans, quinoa and cilantro lime dressing (image above)
