Amazing Strawberry Pecan Salad
I was craving a "sweet" salad today. I got this baby from Cotton Patch Café: Spring mix, strawberries, bleu cheese, parmesan, candied pecans, and raspberry-walnut vinegairette.

What is YOUR favorite base for salads?
I made a post recently asking if salads are an acquired taste. I’m going to be trying a few different salads over the next few weeks.
If you had to pick the absolute BEST salad base, what would you choose and why? I think most of the salads I’ve tried in the past used Romaine lettuce as the base (and a few with mixed greens), and I’m excited to branch out!
Seared salmon & roasted root vegetable with dukkah spice
This is a riff off of a meal plan salad (I think from Blue Apron)
Small - medium diced sweet potatoes & carrots, roasted at 400’ for ~20 minutes. Coat with either cooking spray or light EVOO, S&P, and liberal amount of dukkah. Can be made up to 2-3 days in advance.
Toss roasted veggies with:
Orange supremes
Arugula
Optional (and not pictured) toasted sliced almonds
Dress with equal parts rice wine vinegar and orange olive oil (can use unflavored), S&P
Top with seared salmon (S&P, EVOO) made in the moment

Fig salad with roquefort; beet salad with ricotta
Fig salad with roquefort; beet salad with ricotta
Took advantage of a glut of cherry tomatoes in the garden ..
Got this salad out of a Nigella Lawson cookbook.
Cut a bunch of cherry tomatoes in half. Arrange cut side up in oven safe dish. Sprinkle with olive oil, thyme, salt, pinch of sugar. Turn oven to 450, place tomatoes inside, turn off when it reaches 450 and let the tomatoes sit either overnight or all day.
Throw a bunch of arugula and or baby spinach on a platter. Dot with goat cheese, then slivered fresh mint. Add the tomatoes. Then make a little dressing of the pan juices by adding a squeeze of lemon juice, more salt if you need it, splash of olive oil if you want. Pepper all over the top.
Serve with crusty bread. Yum!
Italian chopped salad with pizza croutons
Threw this together, pizza croutons made with a tortilla, mozzarella and pepperoni.
Cobb Salad
I made a gorgeous cobb salad. This was so satisfying. The acronym EATCOBB stands for eggs, avocado, tomato, chicken, onion, blue cheese, bacon. My kids won't eat blue cheese so they got EATCORB (RANCH 🤣)
