Staff Favorite Salads

My favorite salad at the moment – Crunchy Brussels Sprout with Pecorino + Apples and Candied Pecans – It’s perfect to brighten up a meal in the deep of winter but also filling any time of the year. Contrasting textures, loads of flavor, nutrition packed, not only keeps well but gets better over time – my ideal!

Ok, I just couldn’t decide on one….the first is a longtime go to and the second is a new addition to the rotation in our house that takes advantage of the season.

1. This Parmesan Celery Salad Recipe is delicious just made/still warm, room temp or cold, and the nutty crunch is perfection. My go to protein packed lunch this time of year, also fancy enough to serve to guests. I really really want to eat my greens and even manage to some days for lunch, but I just can’t every day.

2. This Asparagus with Bacon and Hard-Boiled Eggs became a favorite of mine in recent weeks due to an over abundance of dyed hardboiled eggs in my house , and the lovely in season asparagus that is everywhere. And bacon. I can never say no to a salad with bacon.

I’m loving this
massaged kale salad with avocado and chickpeas, a family favorite great for getting your hands a little messy – moms, this almost doubles as a craft. Ok, I said almost.

I’m also a big believer in massaging kale.
This video very concisely suggests a recipe while also touching on some of the chemistry behind this very hands on fun technique.
