I never get bored of the avocado, but it definitely helps to have an arsenal of recipes that innovate the traditional guacamole. This salsa incorporates grapefruit into the mix. It’s a delicious salsa that accompanies a green leaf salad or baked salmon. Enjoy!

Raw Veggie Salad Platter
March 23, 2013 – 7:28 am
This salad skips the leaves and is made up of add-ins, but not the “guilty” kind. It combines zucchini, carrot and cabbage with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives to create a simple and healthy salad that doesn’t need the leaves to keep you slim and full. Enjoy!
Cherry Tomato Mint Salad
February 11, 2013 – 9:08 am
I quickly put together this salad to complement my dinner. It makes for a colorful side dish and palette cleanser. I used red, green and yellow cherry tomatoes for color contrast. The fresh mint heightens the salad’s aromas. You can make it more meal-worthy with the addition of feta cheese, olives or any other vegetables. [...]
Roasted Beet & Carrot Lentil Salad
December 10, 2012 – 7:28 am
This recipe reminds me why I can eat salad and never get bored – it’s packed with protein, fiber, greens, and roasted vegetables. The best of everything, essentially. The colors are vibrant, the textures are diverse, and the taste satisfies each taste bud. Enjoy!
Zesty Sweet Potato Salad
November 28, 2012 – 8:08 am
The best thing about a sweet potato is its versatility. One minute it’s baked and served with butter, another it’s in a sweet brown sugar crusted casserole, and then another it’s paired with garlic and onions for a more savory twist. This recipe is all about highlighting both the sweet and the savory. Sweet potato [...]
Walnut and Feta Endive Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
November 10, 2012 – 8:28 am
I like this salad recipe, because the endive (escarole) leaves act as a “spoon” just as much as they are part of the salad itself. This iconic combination uses feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and balsamic vinegar for a delicious and different way to get those greens in. Enjoy!
Black Eyed Pea Salad
September 4, 2012 – 8:08 am
I was in the mood for a new salad, since I tend to stick with the same old combination. I tossed black eyed peas with other robust flavors such as garlic sun-dried tomatoes, lemon, and parsley. The fiber and protein-rich black eyed peas make this salad worthy of an entire meal. Enjoy!
Quick-Fix Thai Cucumber Salad
August 23, 2012 – 10:38 am
Got five minutes? That’s all you need to make this simple salad. It’s small in size but big in taste, combining Thai flavors on a hydrating backdrop of grated cucumber. I am personally not a huge fan of cucumber, but considering how beneficial it if for your health and appearance, I try to sneak it [...]
Video: Raw Beet Citrus Salad
August 15, 2012 – 4:47 am
This is a refreshing dish that omits the leaves for an earthier, more filling side salad. The beet taste is cut by the citrus from the orange and lemon and lifted by fragrant mint leaves. I love the chew in this recipe and afterwards, it leaves me feeling fuller for longer and not looking for [...]
Pea Salad To Plea For
August 8, 2012 – 8:53 am
Here’s a salad I have very often but in so many different ways. I adore peas – they’re soft and creamy and add just the right bulk to a still light and body-friendly dish. This recipe uses zucchini, red pepper and cucumber, but you could very well change it up with whatever is in your [...]
