]]> There’s something simply irresistible about the Mediterranean cuisine, and Natasha Bull seems to agree. The mastermind behind the food blog Salt & Lavender has a knack for developing recipes for delicious and healthy Mediterranean salads, and here are some of her very best.

Mediterranean Orzo Salad

At first glance, orzo may look like rice, but it’s actually a form of short-cut pasta. It’s the staple of Italian cuisine, and Bull used it to make this salad truly pop, along with such ingredients as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, olives, and chopped red onions.

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Bull is a huge fan of quinoa, and she couldn’t resist using it as the main ingredient in one of her salads, along with chopped bell peppers, red onions, cucumbers, kalamata olives, and cubed feta.

Mediterranean White Bean Salad

If you’re looking for a salad that’s filling, healthy, and delicious, all at once, this recipe is just the thing you’re searching for. Inspired by Greek cuisine, this salad effortlessly mixes white beans with such ingredients as feta, cucumbers, olives, and bell peppers.

Mediterranean Lentil Salad

All of Bull’s Mediterranean salads have a pretty similar list of add-ins, but she enjoys switching things up when it comes to the main ingredients and she opted for lentils this time around.

Ultimate Kale Salad

Modic called her blog Kale Junkie for a reason, and we’ve seen her share several delicious recipes for kale salads, but none of them compares to this one.

Fall Harvest Kale Salad

Modic put a twist on her ultimate kale salad with this recipe, which calls for the use of maple tahini dressing and ingredients we associate with fall, from butternut squash and pumpkin seeds to apples and pomegranates.

Chicken Caesar Salad

If you want to take a break from kale salads, how about turning to this timeless classic—chicken Caesar salad with homemade tahini dressing?

Cabbage-Carrot Salad

One of the best things about Modic’s salads is that they’re incredibly easy to make. That’s certainly the case with this refreshing dish, made with shredded cabbages and carrots and topped with tangy peanut dressing.

Strawberry Arugula Salad

If you’re a huge fan of salads that allow you to play with different flavors, make sure to try this strawberry arugula salad, and don’t forget to top it with lemon poppyseed dressing.

]]> Eating healthier doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need to have the right recipes, and your goal to treat your body with more of the good stuff will be one step closer.

Salads don’t have to be daunting just because they’re healthy. And they don’t have to be boring, either! This all-green salad is from TikTok user @bakedbymelissa. It involves an appealing green salad dressing and can be eaten with tortilla chips (or rice cakes) like salsa. Let’s check it out.

Here is How to Make Green Goddess Salad

TikTok star @bakedbymelissa starts the recipe by finely chopping half of the green cabbage head, three cucumbers, and a bunch of scallions. She combines the veggies in a bowl before starting to work on the dressing, which will take the salad to the next level.

For the dressing, Melissa combines two cloves garlic, one shallot, ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup chives, ¼ cup olive oil, a splash of rice vinegar, some walnuts, fresh basil, baby spinach, nutritional yeast, and salt to taste in a blender. She blends the ingredients into a smooth consistency before pouring the dressing over the cabbage, cucumbers, and scallions.

The final result looks quite delicious, and we think it could work great as a healthy dip. Check out @bakedbymelissa’s video with full instructions below.

]]> They often say that misery loves company, but in this case, we love “misery”! Mizeria, which translates from Polish as “misery”, is the bizarre name given to this otherwise delightful salad. Because it includes only a handful of ingredients it earned a reputation as food for the poor, but we think the combination of being quick, easy, and delicious puts this cucumber salad’s worth way above the rest.

Ingredients:

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ¾ teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Cut the cucumbers in half and then slice each half down the middle lengthwise. Use the tip of a teaspoon to scoop out the center seeds. Cut each half into thin slices and place in a colander with the onion. Toss with the salt and let them sit in the sink for at least 30 minutes, until the water drains out.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, dill, sugar, and black pepper and mix well.
  3. When the cucumbers and onions are ready, remove any excess water by tapping the colander several times on the base of the sink, then use a large wad of paper towels or clean dish towel to pat the vegetables dry. Add them to the dressing and toss well. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

]]> Avocado and chicken are a surprisingly great pairing, especially when they meet in a salad. Add a bit of spice to the equation, and you have yourself an amazing dish. This is exactly what our spicy chicken and avocado salad is all about. If you want to try something new yet delicious, here is how to make it.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 chili peppers
  • ¼ cup roasted and salted peanuts
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 4 chicory leaves
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons lime juice
  • olive oil

Instructions:

  1. First, you need to cook the chicken. The best way is to line them on a baking sheet brushed with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and bake for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F.
  2. While the chicken bakes, remove the seeds from chili peppers and cut them into small bits. Mix with honey in a separate cup.
  3. Once the chicken is baked, brush it with half of the honey and chili mix and let it sit.
  4. Brush a pan with olive oil and sauté diced shallot until it browns. Remove from the heat and add the other half of the honey and chili mix, lime juice, two teaspoons of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are combined. This will be your salad dressing.
  5. Peel the avocado and slice it before adding it to your salad bowl. Chop the arugula and chicory into bite-size bits and add them to the bowl.
  6. Slice the chicken into bite-size bits as well, and introduce it to the mix.
  7. Finally, drizzle the salad with your salad dressing, garnish with peanuts, and dig in.

A post shared by Erin (@erindishes) on

Recipe

  1. First, use a mandoline to thinly slice the radishes. If you don’t have a mandoline, use a regular knife to cut them as thinly as possible, or, slice them like regular and then cut them into quarters so they don’t overwhelm the salad. 
  2. For English or Persian cucumbers, you can just go ahead and cut them into thin slices with a knife or mandoline. But, if you’re using a regular cucumber, first cut it in half so you can scoop out the seeds before slicing them into half-moons.
  3. Toss the radishes and cucumbers into a bowl and then zest one of the limes right on top. Then, cut both the limes in half and juice them into the bowl. 
  4. Mix everything and then leave in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to marinade. 
  5. Then, add in the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. 
  6. Finally, roughly chop the mint, add to the bowl, and lightly toss. 
  7. Enjoy!

]]> They often say that misery loves company, but in this case, we love “misery”! Mizeria, which translates from Polish as “misery”, is the bizarre name given to this otherwise delightful salad. Because it includes only a handful of ingredients it earned a reputation as food for the poor, but we think the combination of being quick, easy, and delicious puts this cucumber salad’s worth way above the rest.

Ingredients:

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ¾ teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Cut the cucumbers in half and then slice each half down the middle lengthwise. Use the tip of a teaspoon to scoop out the center seeds. Cut each half into thin slices and place in a colander with the onion. Toss with the salt and let them sit in the sink for at least 30 minutes, until the water drains out.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, dill, sugar, and black pepper and mix well.
  3. When the cucumbers and onions are ready, remove any excess water by tapping the colander several times on the base of the sink, then use a large wad of paper towels or clean dish towel to pat the vegetables dry. Add them to the dressing and toss well. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

]]> Avocado and chicken are a surprisingly great pairing, especially when they meet in a salad. Add a bit of spice to the equation, and you have yourself an amazing dish. This is exactly what our spicy chicken and avocado salad is all about. If you want to try something new yet delicious, here is how to make it.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 chili peppers
  • ¼ cup roasted and salted peanuts
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 4 chicory leaves
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons lime juice
  • olive oil

Instructions:

  1. First, you need to cook the chicken. The best way is to line them on a baking sheet brushed with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and bake for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F.
  2. While the chicken bakes, remove the seeds from chili peppers and cut them into small bits. Mix with honey in a separate cup.
  3. Once the chicken is baked, brush it with half of the honey and chili mix and let it sit.
  4. Brush a pan with olive oil and sauté diced shallot until it browns. Remove from the heat and add the other half of the honey and chili mix, lime juice, two teaspoons of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are combined. This will be your salad dressing.
  5. Peel the avocado and slice it before adding it to your salad bowl. Chop the arugula and chicory into bite-size bits and add them to the bowl.
  6. Slice the chicken into bite-size bits as well, and introduce it to the mix.
  7. Finally, drizzle the salad with your salad dressing, garnish with peanuts, and dig in.

Recipe

  1. First, use a mandoline to thinly slice the radishes. If you don’t have a mandoline, use a regular knife to cut them as thinly as possible, or, slice them like regular and then cut them into quarters so they don’t overwhelm the salad. 
  2. For English or Persian cucumbers, you can just go ahead and cut them into thin slices with a knife or mandoline. But, if you’re using a regular cucumber, first cut it in half so you can scoop out the seeds before slicing them into half-moons.
  3. Toss the radishes and cucumbers into a bowl and then zest one of the limes right on top. Then, cut both the limes in half and juice them into the bowl. 
  4. Mix everything and then leave in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to marinade. 
  5. Then, add in the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. 
  6. Finally, roughly chop the mint, add to the bowl, and lightly toss. 
  7. Enjoy!
