Tuna Chef's Salad

For one of my shower's my cousin gave me a wonderful salad set. I was so excited to finally use it! When I made this salad, I figured it was going to be just another salad-nothing special about it. Was I wrong! I thought the tuna really added to it and made it flavorful. We also made some killer hard boiled eggs to go with it!

Thai Noodles with Shrimp

I've never made anything before with Thai peanut sauce. Let me tell you, it's totally worth it! It's got a bit of a spice kick to it, but it really steps up the dish! This recipe just has 5 ingredients but it's fantastic and easy to make. It's even good cold the next day!

Asian Chicken Salad

Making hearty salads for dinner is one of my new favorite things. They're light but filling all at the same time. Thanks to this recipe, I now have a new favorite dressing-sesame ginger dressing! It's tangy but sweet at the same time! If you have left over chicken, this recipe will only take a few minutes to throw together and can be eaten with your favorite choice of dressing.

Clubhouse Salad

My new favorite thing is hearty salads for my meals. Adding some awesome protein and a bit of sweetness is just the most tasteful and filling thing that doesn't weigh you down. Although this is a super basic recipe and you could add whatever you'd like to it, I'd certainly follow it again!

Also, in the picture is Wishbone's Guacamole Ranch. Go try it. It's amazing. That reminds me. The one thing I would add to this recipe--avocado!
