Salads
Chicken Cobb Salad
In possession of leftover chicken? Try tossing together a quick-and-easy Chicken Cobb Salad. And don't forget the bacon, because it's delicious.
Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Salad
The Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato (BLT) salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that takes the classic sandwich ingredients and transforms them into a delightful salad. This salad typically features crisp lettuce leaves, such as romaine or iceberg, providing a crunchy base. The lettuce is then adorned with juicy, ripe tomatoes, sliced into bite-sized pieces, adding a burst of freshness and sweetness to the dish. The star of the salad is often the crispy bacon, cooked to perfection until it's deliciously crunchy and adds a savory, smoky flavor that complements the other ingredients. The bacon is usually chopped or crumbled and generously sprinkled over the salad, adding a satisfying crunch and richness to every bite.

Gluten Free Craisin & Candied Pecan Salad
This recipe is a special tribute to our family - it's a favorite! The salad uses light and crunchy butter lettuce as the base and has lots of great flavors and textures from craisins, candied pecans, crunchy cucumbers and shallots, tossed with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Like a lot of the salads we make, you can eat this as an accompaniment to a meal, or toss your favorite protein on top to make it a complete meal. This recipe is one I like to say that I "measure with my heart" - there are no true measures of ingredients that make it perfect ... it's whatever feels right.

You can prep this salad in advance, even with the dressing added... infact, I would recommend that because it allows the Brussels sprouts to soak up the flavors. Don't worry the salad won't get soggy as the hearty brussels sprouts hold up well, making it a perfect salad/appetizer to make or take to a party. It's got a nice, refreshing tart - sweet dressing and the salty parmesan cheese just takes it to the next level. Hope you give it a try!
