I’d been conjuring up the idea of this salad in my mind for quite a while now, and I kept saying to myself.. “oh but it’s such a Summer salad, and it’s barely even Spring here yet… I can’t post that.” Well, you know what! I’m posting it anyways! Maybe this will urge Summer to

Chili Crusted Ahi Tuna & Avocado Salad with Cilantro Garlic Dressing
First, let’s all just pause for a moment and take in the sheer beauty of that salad…(yup, here I ago again referring to food as beautiful…but seriously, such a pretty little salad!!)

Mexican Chicken Salad with Chipotle Yogurt Lime Dressing
By now I’m sure you know that I am a big fan of salads! In fact, it was only a couple weeks ago that I did a Fave Five Friday on delicious, bright, healthy salads! I made this salad on a whim – it was a sort of spur-of-the-moment, what-do-I-have-in-my-fridge kind of thing! I often

A Taste Of Amsterdam & Lemony Chicken with “Bruine Bonen Salade”
Wow! Amsterdam. What an amazing city! It’s hard to even describe Amsterdam, but one word to sum it up would have to be diverse. There’s a completely different feel in every area of the city, and each area is only a short bike ride away from the other. We had such a great time

Watermelon & Feta Salad
Think watermelon. What’s the next word you think of? Summer! Well, at least I do anyways!

Grilled Peach & Goat Cheese Salad
This is the ideal summer salad, it really doesn’t get any better than this. Peaches are in their prime and it is totally BBQ season, so combining the two into a salad, makes heaven on a plate. Really. This salad can be made vegetarian, or like in the picture, with chicken breast. For the hubby,
