'Awesome-sauce' recipes for every day of the year!
This salad recipe is a great summer recipe with a host of flavors mixing together for an excellent lunch or dinner. Add in how easy it is to pull together makes this a wonderfully light and filling dinner for those hot summer evenings when it's just too warm to turn on the stove. The awesomeness is added to by the homemade, delicious, (and much better for you than a store bought bottle!) Raspberry Vinaigrette.
Between warmer temps and increased vaccines summer cookouts are back! And so is the need for easy sides. So coleslaw is...fine. But it's often bland and never really good for you either. But we need sides for game days and potlucks and picnics and cookouts. So here we go with a new side and some light stats! This coleslaw-based salad is high in protein, high in crunch, high in color, and most importantly high in flavor!
I love pasta salad recipes. They're a great meal prep option that you can make healthy and tasty with any flavor profile. This recipe takes some classic Greek salad flavors for a light easy lunch option you can make for the week.

Growing up I was lucky enough to move around the world and experience food from a multitude of cultures. But throughout all of these travels my mum always made us recipes from our Scottish home. One of these was her potato salad recipe! It's less creamy than American potato salad, can be served warm or chilled, and is a little bit healthier too. Try whipping up this easy side dish for your next party or potluck!

So here in Minnesota it's still winter...and cold..and gloomy..So as a cure here is a colorful and delicious salad! The lemon zest adds a sunny flavor and the colorful vegetables make for a more interesting lunch plate. Not to mention the added benefit of some serious protein power in this dish. Enjoy!
Time for another goodness filled salad to fit your budget! Recently I was out with my cousins picking blueberries...and we went a little overboard! So after freezing a pound, (and snacking on a pound on the plane ride back to the twin cities!), I wanted to experiment with a blueberry vinaigrette - which means I needed a salad to go with it!
Thanks to a lovely trip blueberry picking with my cousins, I have more blueberries than I know what to do with! So I decided to give a blueberry vinaigrette a whirl and (if I do say so myself) - it turned out delicious! Enjoy and let me know what you like to put in your homemade dressings!
