Move over, plain jane cucumber salad! This salad makes an entrance with unusual chunks of blue cheese tossed in for a creamy burst of flavor. If blue cheese is too strong for you, try a mild feta and a...
Sweet with a touch of heat and very light. With minimum cooking, this is perfect for a summer night. Garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime wedges, if desired.
Great way to use roasted beets and use up all the leftover veggies in your fridge. Also a nice way to incorporate a little bean protein into your diet.
A marinated cucumber salad that is best made with fresh garden cucumbers when available. Also good as a dip if you chop the cucumbers instead of slicing them.
Sub out any veggies for what you have on hand. I do this salad around the holidays, especially pre-holiday when food is just everywhere and the calories are high. This is my work lunch. It fills me up...
This is great for Easter, but we love it anytime! My kids love making and eating 'Bunny Salad', and they have no idea they are voluntarily ingesting veggies. =)
Wow your guests with a delightful flavor combination they've probably never tried! It's especially refreshing in warm weather and when you can get fresh avocados and watermelon. It's also quite simple...
The warm goat cheese medallions take this salad to a whole new level. I like to serve this as a main dish salad with a nice crusty baguette on the side.

It's the dressing that makes this salad so delicious. This can be made the night before, and you can also use grated Cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan.
I came up with this recipe while prepping ingredients to make a quiche. I realized the veggie mix made a wonderful salad just by itself! Don't skip the Parmesan-Romano cheese, it cuts the acidity of the...
This is a very delicious appetizer with fresh zucchini. If you have no time to prepare a full meal, this snack is the best. You can serve it as a salad, and also as a dip. Great with white bread.
We developed this mid-summer salad to use an overabundance of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and celery. This recipe makes more dressing than you need for the salad, but it will keep almost forever in the...
This salad goes well with both Mexican/Latin American food and Italian/Mediterranean food. It bursts with balsamic-ginger spiciness, tomato sweetness, and chayote cooling.

I get so bored of just eating meat and eggs and more meat on a ketogenic diet (even if they are cooked in delicious fats)! That's why we highly encourage you to eat more vegetables. Of course, you have...

I always hated gloppy Caesar dressings, so I came up with my own, which is very similar to the original one created in Tijuana in the 1920s. This quick and easy salad is a huge hit whenever I serve it,...
A favorite for potlucks, family gatherings, and hot summer nights at home. With a food processor to chop the kale, I can be done and out the door to a party within 25 minutes - and that includes 5 minutes...
I adapted this recipe while on the South Beach Diet. It is a wonderful complement to grilled meat and burgers and a welcome change from the Asian flavored or the mayo-based slaws. The recipe is easily...
This is a great alternative to potato salad or coleslaw, an unexpected combination of ingredients that create a depth of flavor that will please any palate! Even with some healthier modifications, it sill...
Fresh and flavorful purslane combines with crunchy cucumber and salty feta for a lovely salad. Purslane has more omega-3s than any other leafy green, so I try to eat a lot of it when it's in season each...
