Yup, that’s a long ass title..but I said it. There’s no other way…I mean, what are you supposed to do when you love Caesar salad, Greek salad and buffalo chicken? Mix them all together and see what comes out. What came out was deliciousness. We roasted garlic for the Caesar dressing to add some serious…

I made this salad to go along with the Greek Meatballs I prepped and cooked this weekend. It was super important to me that whatever vegetable side/salad I made go along with lots of protein options. Thus, the Greek Chopped Salad was born. It eats well alone, but plays well with others: canned fish, the aforementioned…

A throw together salad that goes “POW” in your mouth. I made Shepards Pie with a cauliflower “crust” and ended up only needing 1/2 a head of cauliflower. I needed to use up the other half in some fashion. I made a 24 hour quick pickle with the cauliflower and threw in some carrots too.…

This salad is very traditional, but for some reason, people seem to forget it exists. If you have some fresh herbs lying around, like oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, chives, throw them into the mix too. Salad Ingredients 2 romaine heads, chopped 3 green onions, sliced 5 hard boiled eggs, chopped 1 avocado, chopped 6 slices…
