Foodie Friday: Serve Up A Spring Salad!

When in doubt, serve salad. Just came back from the Farmers Market, and I bought a beautiful tomato. It might be too early, but the sight of it put me in the mood for a salad. These 12 recipes just sing spring! Enjoy.

Spring Nicoise Salad 
This is spring on a plate. It's almost too pretty to eat. The recipe feeds four, so you can just double it for a crowd. Beautiful for Mother's Day Brunch.

Grilled Swordfish with Arugula Salad 
This is pretty much how I eat all of my food. It's a Mediterranean inspired recipe that involves tomatoes and butter beans. I would skip the beans, and never miss them.

Chimichurri Steak Salad
To me, Chimichuri is fabulous with anything. This salad is packed with protein AND flavor!

Pepper-Shrimp-and-Noodle Salad with Crunchy Spring Vegetables
Oh I know a certain Ms. "Shop This" who would just love this salad. It's one of those "bowl recipes" that are trending in every restaurant. Looks delish.

Shaved Spring Vegetable and Apple Salad with Ginger-Dijon Dressing
This recipe gets my vote for the prettiest salad ever! They say that the homemade tangy sweet dressing is impossible to mess up. Let's try it.

Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken and Avocado Bacon Salad
Breaded with pretzels and oven baked, this salad is a chicken lovers dream. It's all tossed together with avocado, fresh greens, and crispy bacon. Drizzle it all with a sweet and spicy honey mustard dressing, and it becomes a sensational salad.

Vegan Tiktok Green Goddess Salad 
I guess that this recipe went viral on Tiktok, so it must be crazy good. The salad itself is a  combination of finely cabbage or iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, green onions and chives. Can you say green? The dressing is bright and citrusy AND green. Must be good for us.

BLT Salad With Extra Cheddar
This recipe turns a classic summer sandwich into a dinner worthy salad. There's even bread involved. And aren't you a firm believer that everything should have extra cheddar?

Black Rice Salad
This recipe combines Asian flavors,  nutritional ingredients, and the nutty flavor of forbidden rice. Even for me who is not much of a rice eater (too many carbs) this sounds interesting.

Strawberry Arugula Walnut Salad
This recipe had me at hello. It is chock-full of spring fruit and veggies. It can be whipped up in 10 minutes, The Balsamic Vinaigrette sounds divine. Balsamic and strawberries is a match made in culinary heaven.

Lemon Scallops Over Greens
This is how I like to eat scallops. Plenty of lemon lightens the richness of the fish. No dressing is necessary since all of the yummy pan drippings are added to the greens.

Southwest Style Cobb Salad With  Smoky Chipotle Dressing
Now this is a meal! In fact a salad this good and this big would be about $24  or more in New York, where I love. And it just might be worth it. It is said that the dressing is the best ever.
