Summer Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette
Summertime is almost here, and along with the sun and the fun comes the food!!! Watermelon, cucumber, iced tea – it’s all so refreshing! And one of my favorite things to do – especially in the summer – is to make refreshing salads. To kick it up a notch, I add fruit to my greens. […]

Powerhouse Salad
This salad is a variation of a salad someone made for me in December. I absolutely fell in love with the combination of flavors, and the freshness and variety of the ingredients.
