Salads & Dressings
Autumn Chopped Salad
We love this Autumn Chopped Salad. I haven't made this enough, according to some family members. It's the first chopped salad some of us have tried and we are smitten. That may sound a little over-the-top, but seriously, even the guys ask for it and...
Taco Salad in Tortilla Bowl Shells
I just made Taco Salad in Tortilla Bowl Shells last night for dinner. You might think I am on a taco salad kick, since I shared the beach salad recipe recently. Well no, but I do really love them! Have you ever tried making your own shell bowls out of...
Pat’s Beach Taco Salad
A favorite beach memory for our family is Pat's Beach Taco Salad. Nothing about it is beachy, but our family always makes this main dish salad on any given beach week during the summer. Since there are four of us girls, there is a good chance we have included this in...
Mom’s Creamy Cole Slaw

Lemon Tarragon Vinaigrette
I enjoyed making this Lemon Tarragon Vinaigrette and it tastes really good. Don't you love making something yourself that you usually buy at the store? And you can make the exact amount that you need instead of having 8 partially-used bottles of different...
Mandarin Sunburst Salad
Mandarin Sunburst Salad just sounds fresh and bright, doesn't it? It has become one of our favorite salads because it's easy to prepare and, if you add some grilled chicken, it makes a great main dish. It's also pretty healthy, although you do have Ramen noodles for...
Strawberry Chicken Summer Salad
Strawberry Chicken Summer Salad is perfect for summer....or if you're just craving summer! Just one hour ago I was outside. Throwing snowballs with my sons and taking pictures of a rarity here in eastern North Carolina. Snow. We usually get a dusting...
Yummy, Healthy Spinach Salad
Who doesn't love a fresh tasty salad? Fresh spinach combined with the crunch of fresh celery, Granny Smith apple, and toasted pecans? Heck yes. Add some sweetened cranberries and a tasty viniagrette and you have a delicious and healthy side for...
