Strawberry Caprese Salad

May 20, 2014 Amanda Plott

Sometimes, you just have to step outside the box for a moment to find something truly amazing.

I have always loved caprese salads, and I have also always loved the combination of strawberries and balsamic vinegar... So, why not put the two together? While the pairing might seem a little odd to some, I promise this is sure to surprise and de{light}!

There's just something about the mixture of sweet juicy strawberries and the twang of balsamic vinegar that goes so perfectly together. I guess you could say, it's sort of a play on the whole 'sweet and sour' thing...

Skinny Greek Vinaigrette

Ah, greek salads have to be one of my most favorite salads. In fact, I was so set on them that I burned myself out for a good year or two. Sad. I know. How can you burn yourself out on a favorite thing? Well, easily if you eat it every day for nearly half a year!

I'm not sure where it was that I had my first ever greek salad... but I know that it was an eye opening. I think it was even the first time that I'd ever had feta cheese. Another favorite thing that I keep close to my heart. Mm... feta...

Mixed Berry Salad

This salad has been my lunch regularly for about two weeks now. I just can't get enough of it! Everything I love the most is in there. Fresh berries, blue cheese, spinach, and this amazing Energy Crunch Trail Mix. I found the mix at my local grocery store, HEB. It has soybeans, dried cranberries, almonds & pumpkin kernels.

When it started out, I was using a bottled dressing. But this week I decided to switch it up and make my own - which turned out fabulous and even more healthy!...

Healthified Asian Salad

I love a good asian style salad and yet haven't had one in quite a long time.

Many years ago when I was younger and my mother used to by an asian style salad kit. It was very tasty and one of our favorite things to eat along side any asian dish. Most commonly we would eat it with a bowl of hot and sour soup and some spring rolls. Yummy!...
