salads

Basil Marinated Tomatoes

This refreshing salad can be served as a side dish or on top of grilled fish, chicken, or flank steak. Using a variety of different colored tomatoes makes a gorgeous dish.

Southern Cobb Salad with buttermilk dressing

A southern spin on the traditional California Cobb, this salad makes a perfect summer meal. I serve it with fresh bread for last minute dinner parties.

Southern Peach Salad

While growing up in Georgia, my job—every summer—was to sell peaches. As a result, my mom and I came up with countless recipes using the fresh fruit, and this is her favorite. If you like a lighter dressing, substitute half of the oil with vegetable or chicken stock.

Peach and Mozzarella Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

A Southern version of the Italian Caprese Salad – my absolute favorite summer salad.

Sweet Potato and Salmon Salad

A hearty, main dish salad is full of color and is perfect for entertaining.

Strawberry Vinaigrette

This salad dressing has such a fresh flavor. You can pair it with endive and toasted walnuts or toss it in a spinach and goat cheese salad.

Summer Sweet Corn Pasta Salad

Summers in the South are usually full of Silver Queen Corn, so I always try to get creative with ways to showcase the crop. This is a light pasta that pairs perfectly with grilled fare.

Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese Dressing

One of my favorite vegetables, beets are super sweet and make a delicious salad. I serve this for dinner parties on a large platter, family style, and everyone loves it! Georgia’s own Sweet Grass Diary has award winning goat cheeses that always make this dish even more spectacular.

Bibb Lettuce with Roquefort Vinaigrette

A classic blue cheese vinaigrette makes a simple salad into something spectacular.

Tarragon Chicken Salad

This is my favorite go-to lunch. It tastes like traditional chicken salad with a nice crunch from the pecans, but this recipe is much better for you than most. It is perfect for stuffing pitas or on whole grain bread.
