Sweet Spinach & Fruit Salad

Another simple recipe for a delicious salad to pair with any meal! I probably make this salad at least once a week with our regular meals. It is scrumptious and I always love how colorful and healthy it is!


Sweet Spinach & Fruit Salad

Spinach
Sliced Strawberries
Red Grapes (cut in half)
Slivered Almonds
Dried Cranberries
Crumbled Feta Cheese

Combine all ingredients in the quantities you desire and toss with your favorite sweet dressing (we usually use poppy seed). You can also add ripe pears, bacon, blueberries, or mandarin oranges. The possibilities are endless.

If you live near a Trader Joe's then try their Pear & Gorgonzola Salad Dressing with these salad ingredients. You will never want to buy another salad dressing in your life.

Taco Salad

One of the bonuses to having a baby is all of the wonderful meals that friends bring after the birth. We had so many wonderful friends who brought us delicious food. We asked for all of the recipes and ended up with some lifelong favorites! Here is one of the easiest, best salads I have ever had:

Taco Salad

1 bag of Romaine lettuce

1 cucumber, diced

1 avocado, diced

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn, drained

1/2 cup shredded cheese

Diced chicken, olives or tomatoes (optional)

Dressing:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup ketchup
1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning

Toss salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix dressing ingredients and pour over the salad, mixing well. Serve with broken up tortilla chips!
