Crispy Chicken Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

June 20, 2024

We’re continuing our journey through “make your favorite fast food salad at home” with a trip to Just Salad. One of my favorites is their honey crispy chicken salad. It combines corn, romaine, spinach, red cabbage, crispy chicken, crumbled feta, quinoa, crispy onions, carrots with honey mustard vinaigrette drizzled all over. This salad fills me up every time. To make this crispy chicken salad at home, I pared it down,…

Crispy Chicken Salad with Poblano Ranch Dressing

May 15, 2024

I’m hitting a wall on lunch options. It’s the most boring meal of the day; I’d rather skip it. Once we started making these salads, I felt inspired to continue my journey to find new lunch options. So the next stop on this salad journey is a crispy chicken salad with poblano ranch dressing. I took some inspiration from some of my and Brian’s favorite salads. Broiled corn, avocado, pickled…

Guacamole Greens Salad

May 1, 2024

Sweetgreen is one of our favorite salad places when we’re eating lunch in the city. Once it started to feel like spring, we went into salad mode. We’ve been in salad mode for two months now! I thought it would be a good idea to try and recreate one of our favorite Sweetgreen salads, guacamole greens. We love our salads. One of Brian’s favorites is from Cravings. Personally, I like something…

Mexican Corn Salad

September 6, 2023

We’ve been wanting to make Mexican corn salad for a while now. We attempted a few times, but could not get the flavor right. Then we ventured into other things like Chipotle’s corn salsa and used that in so many of our recipes. Finally, I found the right balance of flavors with this latest attempt at Mexican corn salad. I even had to learn to use the grill! My family…

Kale Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

June 15, 2022

This kale salad is really as basic as it looks, but we loved it. To be honest, we tried this recipe to make the croutons, haha. They were really good and are the star of the salad. If you’re looking for a lite, yet seemingly hearty salad, this may be for you. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.…

Salmon Quinoa Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

May 29, 2022

The literal secret sauce in this salmon quinoa salad recipe is the carrot-ginger-miso dressing. It was a surprising and bright addition to the dish overall. This meal makes a perfect dinner in the summer. When we’re meal planning for the week, we like to balance with meat, fish and other vegetarian options. We started doing that a few years ago when we realized our entire week was filled with chicken…

Grilled Shrimp Pasta Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

February 16, 2022

Another year and another cookbook from Chrissy Teigen. This latest cookbook, All Together, has a bunch of new and delicious recipes. This grilled shrimp pasta salad looked too good to pass up and was one of the first dishes we tried. Whenever we get a new cookbook, the first thing I do is flip through and flag all the recipes with those sticky flags. After trying a few recipes or having…

Bulgur Salad

July 15, 2020

Last summer, we had an indoor BBQ for the Fourth of July where we made this delicious bulgur salad. We had never made bulgur wheat, and to be honest, I was a little nervous. However, Martha Stewart for the win! The bulgur wheat seemed odd, the thought of cherries, lemon juice, and walnuts made me think twice about making it. But then why would we make this? TO TRY SOMETHING NEW!…

Cobb Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

July 8, 2020

I love everything about this cobb salad: the dressing, the flavors, and the hint of spice. I love how it makes me feel like a Kardashian with a never-ending bowl of salad. While there’s a bit more prep than your typical salad, it’s so worth it. Since we’re both working from home, we build in lunch and dinner prep at the beginning of the week to make our days run…

Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

October 17, 2018

The more proper name for this salad should be ‘Harvest Salad’. This will make a great starter or side salad for Thanksgiving or compliment any fall meal. While pretty basic, this sweet potato and pomegranate salad is delicious. Everything works together really well and the garlicky honey-dijon dressing pulled it together. The original salad was filled with butternut squash, which would be just as delicious, but we substituted it out…

Ms. Jackson's Potato Salad - LiliesandLoafers

I’ve shared with you before that my love for cooking comes from my mother. My mother cooked almost every night. She would only take a break from cooking if we ordered pizza. Eating out was just something we never did; try booking a reservation for 10 people. All these years of cooking for 10 people and my mom jokes she doesn’t know how to make small amounts of food. Now,…

Strawberry Summer Salad

June 18, 2013

Yum, yum, yum. This Strawberry Summer Salad was inspired by a salad Fatima had in Key West. It was very refreshing and we knew it would be perfect for the summer. We topped off the Strawberry Summer Salad with a homemade strawberry vinaigrette dressing. It’s really easy to make. All you would need to “cook” up are the walnuts. The rest is normal “salad-making” skill. The strawberry vinaigrette dressing was just…
