Crispy Rice Bowls

Buttery pistachio and mint pesto, creamy goat cheese and paper-thin shaved carrots are the makings of our new favorite way to do summer veggies - a Raw Carrot Salad. We are simply obsessed with this crunchy, herbaceous, tangy totally delightful side dish.

Shaved Carrot Salad

Sweet, salty, cheesy, crunchy and downright delicious are just some of the adjectives I'd use to describe our epic winter salad. With bits of salty pancetta, creamy boursin and crunchy candied pecans peppered throughout lightly honey dijon-dressed butter lettuce leaves, this is a salad worthy of a special occasion

The Best Winter Salad Recipe

We toss peppery arugula with salty feta, crunchy pepita seeds, red onion and an easy honey vinaigrette. We add in grilled blackened salmon and pineapple to make this easy salad hearty and perfect for lunch or dinner.

If you pick one salad to make on repeat this fall, let it be our Roasted Butternut Squash Salad. This fall-forward salad is packed with roasted butternut squash and beets, speckled with creamy goat cheese, crunchy pepita seeds and hand-torn pieces of salty prosciutto. We toss everything in a sweet and savory pumpkin vinaigrette and dig in.

Warm Quinoa and Kale Salad with Roasted Veggies

With hints of tang from dijon mustard, a slight sweetness from honey, and of course plenty of citrusy punch from lemon juice, our Easy Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette is something you're going to want to keep in your fridge all year long. I'm also willing to bet the mere five ingredients required for this easy dressing are loitering around in your pantry this very minute.

Italian Artichoke Salad is our go-to salad for cozy winter dinners, alfresco summer barbecues and everything in between. We marinate artichoke hearts and red onions in a zippy red wine and parmesan vinaigrette, toss everything with crisp romaine lettuce and sliced roasted red peppers. Easy to make ahead of time, perfect to feed a large family, and delicious.

If you're looking for a way to step your salad game up, look no further than our Fennel and Apple Salad with Garlicky Croutons. We toss shaved fennel and Granny Smith apples with toasted walnuts, homemade sourdough croutons and shreds of parmesan cheese, and then drizzle it all in a simple lemon-y vinaigrette.

Our Cold Orzo Salad with Sesame is packed with whole-wheat orzo, a DELISH sesame lime vinaigrette, and loads of veggies. 25 minutes!
