Winter Green Salad
People tend to forget to eat green salads and other raw foods in the cold winter weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be the main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.
Cheesy Shrimp Alfredo Bake
A delicious mix of shrimp, pasta, Alfredo sauce, pesto, and vegetables makes for a quick, easy dinner that's easy to freeze or reheat for lunch the next day. Can be served alone or with garlic bread or breadsticks. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Salmon Salad Niçoise
This salmon Niçoise salad is a super satisfying summer salad for two. Green beans and potatoes are tossed in a tangy vinaigrette and arranged on a platter with cooked salmon, olives, tomatoes, and a hard-boiled egg. It's easy to scale up this recipe if you are feeding a crowd.
