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 […]

Green Salad with Veggies, Tuna and a Sunflower Butter Dressing
Lunch idea! Or dinner. Or heck, now. I knooooow it’s just a salad. Yawn. But hark THIS one, because it’s on the ooo-la la side. Why? It’s the dressing. But hold up. We’ll get there. I realize not many of you will get excited about canned tuna. I ALMOST didn’t post this, but then I […]
Tuscan Chicken Kale Salad
I’ve been dying to show you this recipe FOR LAHK, MONTHS. I make it almost every Monday night. Remember how I was in a habit of making Chicken Caesars every Monday night? We still do that from time to time, but I’ve been making THIS nutso Tuscan version for the better part of the summer […]
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad
Isn’t May 18th the unofficial gateway to pasta salad season in my head? Thought so. I think I just came with your very favorite new pasta salad. I really do. I seriously do. Because it’s not BORING. Not to say other pasta salads are boring. That was rude. But you know how you get super […]
Shrimp Po’ Boy Panzanella
Also known as, salad night just got awesome. Do you salad night? I say it like it’s a verb. But it is. Salad night. It’s an action! We salad night once or twice a week, normally on Monday nights. I’ve been trying to jazz it up lately (don’t tell anyone I just said jazz it […]
Greek Lentil and Tuna Salad

Blackened Chicken Caesar Salads with Avocado
Ask, and you shall receive. Did I tell you we make a version of this EVERYSINGLEMONDAY? We make a version of this everysinglemonday. Sometimes Aaron coats the chicken with mustard and panko and bakes it. Sometimes we simply throw a little salt and pepper on ’em and pop ’em on the grill. And sometimes, we […]
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 […]
Thai Three-Bean Salad
I’ve been just Thai-ing to show you this. You’re already mad at me. I created this recipe for my in-laws’ huge annual 4th of July pool party in Fayetteville. 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 […]
