I love using baby spinach for the delicate salad. The perfect dish for a break in the middle of the day!

*CHEFS NOTE* A little shopping tip: when cooked frozen shrimp is on sale- make sure you grab a bag! They thaw out easy and quick and go great in a salad in a jiffy.

Chicken wrapped with Bacon makes a great Paleo dinner!  

This chicken milanese is a 30-minute dish! Add a little arugula salad on top. You can also use veal chops with this recipe. If using a veal chop, ask your butcher to butterfly it for you.

You can also prepare this dish gluten free by using GF breadcrumbs. You can also prepare this as a paleo recipe by using almond meal and adding more dried Italian herbs for the same great taste!

I love Mediterranean salads and always have different sides handy at the lake! I grilled salmon  and vegetables then served with this Cucumber and Feta Bulgur Salad! What another great evening at the lake! Enjoy

PS- I prepared this salad earlier in the day and kept in the refrigerator for dinner!  Before serving I gave it a little stir then drizzled a little extra virgin olive oil.

I just love this dressing and it goes perfect with salmon!  I even drizzle over pork and steak.  Keeps great for 5 days in the refrigerator.

I am really working on staying on track for 2016.  I joined a new gym down here in Florida and it's called Hard Exercise Works (HEW) and I really love it.  It's very similar to my CrossFit workouts and the energy is just amazing.  Another great think about my new gym is it's next to a Fresh Market which I just love and so many other healthy markets.

While walking through the market starting from the produce everything looks fresh, bright and I wanted one of everything.  I started with the fresh greens which was a combination of baby spinach, baby kale and mixed greens, then I saw the fresh mushrooms, asparagus and cherry tomatoes.  I walked over to the prepared section and their tuna looked perfect.  Of course, I was offered a sample and immedialty asked for 1 pound of tuna.  You can make your own but I felt great with the short cut!

You can sauté up any vegetables such as zucchini, red peppers or even eggplant would be a great addition.  I will be grabbing those next stop!  I did make my own dressing so easy and perfect.  I will be using the leftover dressing for a marinade during the week!

This is a summertime hit, yet great anytime! Make this salad a day in advance if you have the time. The flavors will be even better.  

I made Baked Cod and Fennel in a Package the other night and had some of the fennel left over and decided to make a side salad. All I can say is that this fennel and parmesan salad was the perfect side to my main dish!

I just love Italian recipes…

We say yummy to Taste of Home for this recipe!  We loved it so much we added it to our Copycat category!

This is a great salad for entertaining or if you are going to a gathering where you are asked to bring the salad. Everyone will love this salad and all the colors. Lay it out in a platter and top with fresh herb right before serving…

This is another great pork loin recipe. The flavor with the ginger glaze just makes this dish amazing! This recipe also follows the paleo diet.

Add grilled chicken or salmon to make this salad a complete meal!

All of the ingredients were provided by Shop Rite.  They have an amazing produce department with local and organic fruit and vegetables.

I am not a huge steak fan! Not for a reason for the beef it is more of texture thing with me. Kind of strange I know but it started as a little girl.

Enjoy my Grilled Skirt Steak over Summer Vegetable Salad!  This is great for 2 or entertaining!  You can also use the leftover summer vegetables and enjoy a lovely omelet.

If you enjoy cheese then add goat or feta!

We were grilling up steak on the Big Green Egg and I decided to grill these shrimp for my salad.  The smoke flavor really made this salad more amazing! 

Enjoy

I love summer vegetables and especially grilled then drizzle balsamic vinegar.  This makes a great salad for your next Paleo Picnic.

Cindy's Important Tip:  Be sure to take the time after you slice the eggplant and zucchini to salt and let sit.  I like to layer with paper towels and top with a pan for 20-25 minutes. This will drain the moisture from the vegetables and allow them to grill perfectly.  

Enjoy this Italian chopped salad with your favorite meal. I love adding cannelloni beans but you can omit them if you follow the Paleo Diet. I have added the recipe below for the fresh parmesan crisps! You may want to hide them before they are gone..

A tomato salad was always my Nana's favorite. We would mostly have this for lunch. I remember her asking me "Do you want a tomato salad for lunch?" I miss her so much and treasure all of her memories.

While at the grocery store I decided that making beef and broccoli sounded really yummy for dinner.  Normally it's served with rice but I decided to prepare a jicama chopped salad.

While in Mexico last year we would get jicama sticks on the table and they are so refreshing and they really do take on flavors.

This is a nice and hearty salad that can be topped with your favorite protein but I do hope you try it with my beef and broccoli dish.  Super delicious...

Cindy's Tip:  Cut all of the vegetables the same size.  I like them in mini cubes!

Here is a great way to use leftover from my chuck roast recipe!  You can really use any protein to enjoy this southwest salad!

I love a salad with dinner and decided to make something a little different. I created this Lemon Zucchini with all ingredients I had handy in the house.

Especially with all of the zucchini coming out of my salad. I sauteed up 2 zucchini and set aside one for my breakfast the next day. This was so yummy that by the time the platter came to me it was almost gone! A good side of a yummy salad..

I love using my Kitchen IQ grater to prepare my Parmesan cheese! Enjoy

There is something about this combination of this Mix Green Salad with Cranberries and Pistachios that makes it super yummy!
