September 16, 2019 by Cris Leave a Comment

I’m fully aware that you hardly need another recipe for salad, however, I’ve got a few ingredients that turn this simple and easy to prepare salad into a rather nutrition-packed meal. This spinach salad filled with avocado, boiled eggs and pecans served with yogurt dressing is so tasty and very light.

Now that I’m back doing more frequent recipe posts again, I’m very much looking forward to sharing with you some healthy, super simple, and most importantly quick to prepare from Monday to Friday type of lunch and dinners into the mix.

This fresh salad recipe featuring tuna, sliced mango and pecans comes together in no time! To turn this side dish into a complete meal, serve it with grilled salmon.

Yes, I went there – I took tuna salad and loaded it with a bunch of veggies and mango, drizzled with yogurt dressing and added a big handful of pecans and sunflower seeds. I usually try to outdo myself when it comes to salad, but I kept this one pretty simple. And my tuna salad recipe turned out fantastic.

Blueberry Mozzarella Arugula Salad

July 19, 2015 by Cris 9 Comments

It’s been a while since I posted a delicious salad. And I can’t even take full credit for coming up with the wacky idea of adding blueberries to an otherwise pretty standard arugula-cherry-mozzarella salad. It was Lindsay from love & olive oil that introduced me to the completely weird idea in one of her latest recipe. So thank you, Lindsay!

But you know what? A blueberry mozzarella arugula salad works (don’t get me wrong, only as a snack). It really works. It makes summer taste well and look better….
