Greek Salad
It’s crazy to admit that this is the first time I have made a Greek Salad. I’ve loved every one I’ve ever enjoyed at a restaurant. For me it’s the combination of fresh ingredients with big bold flavor personalities, that somehow get along really well. No competitiveness here. I like it!!

Lunch Counter Style Chef’s Salad
We had a good old fashioned Lunch Counter Style Chef’s Salad for dinner last night. It had been years since I’ve had one. Once the salad revolution transformed how we view salads, some of the old standards have been slowly forgotten. I can say with certainty that there’s a reason the Chef’s Salad was on most menus for decades. It’s delicious and a completely satisfying meal.

The Classic Cobb Salad
The Classic Cobb Salad. The quintessential Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry recipe just might be The Cobb Salad.

BLT Stack {with Fresh Herb Mayo}

I’m sure I never let it out of my sight or reach for the entire evening hour before it was devoured for it’s heavenly goodness. She shared that she had bought this tub of love at her local Kroger supermarket. I promptly sought out the closest Kroger and bought 2 tubs (plain and jalapeno) and a baguette.

Salmon BLT Salad {with Avocado Aioli}
I realize that a Salmon BLT Salad with Avocado Aioli is not much of a recipe. And possibly not worthy of a post. However, it was really good. And the fact that it was very basic, down to packaged croutons…made it about the best thing we had eaten in at least 3 days.
