Welcome back to our Sunday Meal Planning Series. With all of the PGA and Super Bowl events (read: unhealthy eating) this weekend, we thought we would share our favorite salad recipes to round out your dinners in the coming week!
~~
My all-time favorite, ridiculously simple, but oh-so-tasty salad recipe from epicurious is below. I almost don’t want to share it so I can continue to pass it off as my own at all my dinner parties. You could have it just as is, or modify the recipe like I do to make it appeal to the whole family:
The House Salad, modified:
1) Omit jicama (not familiar with this ingredient!)
2) Omit the crème fraîche (to keep the dressing a little more healthy)
3) Omit pomegranate seeds (I’m sure it would taste lovely, I just never seem to have them around the kitchen)
4) Use red wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar
The salad tastes so fresh and yummy — I hope you enjoy!

Another one of my favorite salad recipes is fairly simple and common, and it can also serve as a great side dish!
