Buffalo Chickpea Salad

Guys, I’m obsessed with this salad. I have made buffalo cauliflower three times in the past 2 months. That’s hysterical since I originally said that I wouldn’t make it again because even though it’s delicious there are a lot of steps and it’s kind of a pain to make. Apparently, taste wins over convenience. With buffalo cauliflower on the brain lately, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this buffalo chickpea salad recipe. Why didn’t I think of that? I love chickpeas and I love the buffalo spices so this is a win win. You know, the buffalo spices …

Tortellini Salad

Happy October! Even though we’re entering into stew and soup season, I wanted to share a salad recipe. I figure there’s plenty of time for soups and stews.

This is easy and fast to whip up and it’s a great make ahead meal. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year and I have lots of things on my to do list. …

Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

For a girl who doesn’t fancy making homemade dressing, I sure am making a lot of homemade dressing lately. There is really nothing fancy about this salad, but the blue cheese dressing makes it. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese then you can substitute it for gorgonzola cheese. Someone might have bought that one by accident. 😉 I think a wedge of lettuce on a plate looks so fancy, just like something you’d get at a nice restaurant. The only downside (literally) to it is that all the toppings fall off the sides. Eh, I’m over it because …

Corn and Arugula Salad

I’m kind of sorry for sharing so many salad recipes. I know it’s one note-y but my blog reflects my life and salads are my life at the moment. This salad makes for a great appetizer or side dish, but it’s a typical lunch for me lately. I might add some leftover chicken or chick peas to give a protein kick. I’m enjoying all of the fresh veggies that summer has to offer. Doesn’t this look like summer on a plate?! Before you know it, we’ll be talking about holiday cookies 24/7 around here. Until then, what’s your favorite salad …
