I must say, “THANK YOU SO MUCH!” I am needing to go back to eating salads again for health reasons–doctors orders. High cholesterol and high blood sugar are in my blood panel. So, I get tired of the same old salad. However, at you did here gives me SO much insight on what can be done with simple, healthy ingredients, that I can mix things up and have a variety of different flavors and ethnic flavors as well. I’m a HUGE cilantro fan, so I’m just in “awwwwwww.” The Harvest Cobb Salad is new to me, so that is a must try. The Southwest Salad is one that I am doing today. I’m heating my Black Beans and soaking my roast’in ear of corn right now! Thank you again, Chungah. 🙂

This recipe is delicious! and easy to make! I made it for a family get together later today. Hope you don’t mind but I made a couple of substitutions- used fresh basil instead of thyme and used lemon olive oil. My husband thinks it is a keeper and our go to salad for the summer. Thanks for posting.

I am always on the go and chopping up salads and all that just sounds so tedious! That is until I discovered the mason jar trick. Put the salad toppings in the bottom of the jar (onions, tomatoes, almonds, etc.) and then stuff the remaining space with whatever leaf you’re using. Seal and store the jars in the fridge. Will stay fresh for up to two weeks! Easy to grab and take with you. When you empty the jar on to the plate it becomes a perfect salad.

I have been making one of these salads each night as part of scaling back on carb-heavy meals and sweet snacks after Christmas. I have three fussy eaters and each dinner someone has said “this is the best salad I’ve ever had.” The dressings really make the salads special. Nice job. Thank you.

BBQ chicken salad, ahhh! Must… make… immediately! It’s been too long since I’ve had a proper BBQ chicken chopped salad of sorts. New England food is… lacking, to say the least. Oh, how I miss thee San Francisco. This salad, I’m sure, will make me feel right at home here in the northeast. It’s not California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), but it’ll do, I’m sure 🙂

For the most part, your salads look delish! But why must everyone use so much cilantro; I can’t stand the stuff! In any event, I look forward to summer and trying these. And I hope Butters is all better.

Marilyn, if you are not a fan of cilantro, you can omit or substitute parsley.
