Salad Recipes

I want you to know, by coming to my page of salad recipes, that I am not a salad lover. As Ron Swanson said, when served a salad “You’ve made a mistake. You’ve accidentally given me the food that my food eats.” Too true, too true.

What this means for you, dear reader, is that I have worked through my struggles with the leafy green substances of this world to find and create amazing salad recipes that even the most lettuce-phobic eaters in your life will find something they can smile about. Not to mentions those special creations that we get to call “salad” in name only (I’m looking at you, jello!). Enjoy!
