Mediterranean Spinach Salad

This makes a wonderful salad dish to accompany dinner or bring to a dinner party.

Fruit & Mint Salad

This beautiful fruit salad makes a lovely dessert, snack or breakfast side dish. It is light, healthy and refreshing on a hot summer day plus it’s packed with lots of energy-boosting vitamins and minerals to keep you going. All ingredients are fresh at the local farmer’s market now, so enjoy them while they’re in season!

Farmer’s Market Quinoa & Heirloom Tomato Salad

This dish was so simple and lovely. The hardest part about making it was trying to not eat the ingredients as I put it together! Make it as a lunch for yourself, or serve it as an appetizer with a meal.

Rainbow Coconut Fruit Salad

Yesterday my friend Jenny came over for lunch and she made me this fruit salad that was so yummy I had to share, so I’m calling her my guest chef today on the blog 😉 This delicious and light fruit dish is perfect as a side or healthy dessert this summer. Feel free to swap out the fruits with any other favorite fruits you have that are in season. Jenny picked out the colors based on the rainbow.

Creamy Mediterranean Pasta Salad

I made a smaller serving of this pasta salad because it has fresh ingredients so it wont last more than 1- 2 days in the fridge. This makes a great lunch, or make a bigger batch and bring it to a potluck this summer!  

Creamy Kale Salad

I love weekends because I can shop at the Farmer’s market on Saturday morning and then spend the next two days cooking everything my heart desires. Today’s lunch has kale, sweet yams, lemon and tomatoes all from the Farmer’s market and straight onto my lunch plate. I made my new Firehouse Spicy Baked Yam Fries (these are for for people who like a little kick in their food, recipe will be posted in the next day) and a delicious Creamy Kale Salad to go with them (see below). Hope you’re having a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

Mock “Tuna” Nicoise Spinach Salad

I used to love tuna nicoise salads, and this is a wonderful alternative. If you prepare the mock tuna, potatoes and dressing on a Sunday and store in glass or tupperware, you can bring this to work for lunches.

Red Wine & Dijon Vinaigrette Dinner Salad

Why buy store-bought salad dressings full of preservatives and allergens when you can make your own. This red wine vinaigrette is light and a great addition to any salad.
