Sensational Salads

Salads of every kind are some of my favorite foods. Salads can be a main dish for lunch or dinner or a side dish to complement a meal. They can be vegetarian or meat based, healthy or not healthy and even include pasta. And a dressing can make all the difference between a ho hum salad and a spectacular salad. Here's my collection of go-to recipes to get through the hot days of South Florida. #salads #saladdressing #healthysalads #pastasalads #summersalads #saladrecipes #food
