Salads have to be one of my favorite things to eat for lunch! They’re so easy and delicious!! Perfect for when you have your girlfriends over as well. My friend Amy (who I met at a blogging event) came over for lunch last week and asked what she could bring. I told her to bring the chicken and we’d throw a poppy seed salad together. So I searched through my fridge and pantry and we came up with a YUMMY salad. We enjoyed talking blogs, eating and playing with the kids. I love lunch dates!
Here’s what we threw in our salad… it ended up being really good! I love mixing fruit and veggies! Makes the perfect combo!
Grilled Chicken, cucumbers, carrots, corn, mandarin oranges, strawberries and apples

Mmm… I LOVE Briannas dressing! The strawberry flavor is another fave!
This poppy seed salad was so easy to throw together and tasted really good. You can do A LOT of different variations with this dressing…that’s what I love about it! That and the sweet taste…mmm!
So what’s your favorite salad recipes? I need some new recipes…

You should try Indonesian style salad too. We have fruits and veggies both with peanut sauce, but different taste. Really nice :)

Yum that sounds good. I’ve never tried peanut sauce. I’ll have to put that on my list. Thanks for commenting! :)

One of my fav salads is mixed greens, dried cranberries, goat cheese, walnuts or almonds with Paul new mans balsamic dressing :)
We actually had warm beef oriental salad tonight – mixed greens, crunchy noodles, bit of feta, cucumber, tomato, thin beef on the grill sliced thinly….delicious!
Jamielyn
Ooo that sounds good! I’m going to have to try that! Thanks for sharing!

This salad sounds great! Just so you know, there is no apostrophe in salads. It’s plural.

Thanks for letting me know! I should have majored in English… who knew I would be writing for a living?! ;)

It doesn’t feel right commenting about salads as I am eating a bowl of ice-cream. So, I love the give-back opportunity and I will check it out!
Jamielyn
LOL!! I only eat salads at lunch, so I can have ice cream later! ;)

This is my kind of salad! I’m all about fruit and a few nuts, too! Looks delicious!
