What’s more American than Watermelon? Ok ok, hotdogs, baseball, etc. But, this healthy salad feels decadent and gourmet, but it simple and delicious. And to me, watermelon just feels like summer, especially July 4th. If you’re looking for an easy potluck salad that isn’t boring for your holiday activities – this is a winner….

Avocado Egg Salad
I did it! I finished Whole 30 without cheating! I lost a few pounds and I feel great. I know we’ve been talking about Whole30 a lot lately, but its been my life for the past month. On to my next challenge! Some ladies at my daughters school have invited me to join in a…
Garden Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Avocado Chicken Salad
I love this stuff. It is so easy to make and people love it! The very first time I made this recipe I brought it over to a friends house for a picnic. Before the day was over I had 5 people ask me for the recipe. The avocado is so creamy that you don’t even miss the mayo in traditional chicken salad. And bonus…unlike mayo you don’t have to worry about it spoiling on a hot day!
Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Salads…Delicious…are you crazy? It’s rabbit food! You might be tuning out right now…but hear me out. I am not talking about boring iceberg lettuce salads with some bottled white undescript dressing on them. No. I am talking about beautiful, flavorful, zesty salads. Ones with delicious homemade dressings. Salads that are so full of color and flavor they are pleasing to both the eyes and the pallet! Am I getting too poetic for you? Sorry. I just can’t help myself sometimes I am a total food lover nerd.
