Greek Style Salad

Greek Style Salad
During the summer months, I often make salad the main course for dinner at least once, if not twice, a week.  Not only is a light and refreshing option during the hotter weather but it also doesn't require me to turn on my stove (or do any actual cooking for that matter) which is a nice option when your husband REFUSES to turn on the air conditioning unless the temperature is ABOVE a hundred degrees and there is NO breeze (which never happens here in SO.Cal - so you can understand why I like no-cook options during the summer months!)

Salmon Caesar Salad

Salmon Caesar Salad
Okay... WE DID IT! (I say we because it was 100% team work between me and my husband)!!  We pre-prepped a ton of veggies, some fruit, hard boiled eggs, sweet potatoes and steel cut oats yesterday and successfully pulled off our first pre-planned meal of the week!

Mint & Dill Romaine Salad (simplicity at its best.)

Mint & Dill Romaine Salad (simplicity at its best.)
Now that we all know how to make our fresh herbs last, I figured you would all be running out to stock the fridge with some of your favorites (just let me believe what I want people) and might be in need of a new clean, simple, and d'lishes recipe idea to put them to use.
