Classic Chicken Salad

Classic Chicken Salad / Bev Cooks

But with a twist! It has a little twist. Twist and shout. But not the shout. Chicken salad is one of those classics that I think about WAY too much. I could eat it constantly. Matter of fact, Aaron shares the same obsession and often picks up chicken salad from our neighborhood grocery store, because […]

Thai Cashew Chicken Salad

Is it too early in the week for a salad? What if it has cashews in it? And the dressing has cashew butter in it? Still too early? I’d been on the phone with my sister the other day after a birthday lunch date she had with my mom. “What did you eat?” I demand. […]

Kale Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken

Thiiiiiiiiiiis. I’m almost speechless. I said almost, don’t get too giddy. This kale caesar salad is straight up madness. First of all, it’s kale. Dark, earthy Tuscan kale, sliced into the tiniest ribbons and fist bumped for good measure. Then we have brioche croutons. An idea that comes from a Saturday morning PBS/Martha-thon. Then we […]

I was absurdly excited about it, until I set it down on the serving table next to exactly 38426534 other salads. Blast! It was still good […]
