Spinach Salad with Avocado, Walnuts, and Parsley
Spinach Salad with Avocado, Walnuts and Parsley with Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
This salad is easy, tasty, and healthy. The avocado and walnuts have good heart healthy fats. And everyone knows spinach is good for you. The bright acidity of the lemon vinaigrette complements the rich, buttery avocado. Plus, the lemon juice helps to delay the browning process of the avocado a bit.

Bibb Lettuce Salad Close Up
Bibb Lettuce Salad
I came across this salad in Thomas Keller’s Bouchon cookbook and had to try it out. It looked beautiful and also didn’t seem that difficult to make. Yes, it takes a tad bit of time to assemble, but worth the effort (and really doesn’t take that long). The gorgeous floral shape is stunning, making it great for serving company (imagine serving each person their own.) Being at home with just my husband I ate each leaf with my fingers. It was like a sweet, tangy, crunchy, delicious snack, but substantial enough for a meal. I’m hooked on this salad.

Mixed Greens with Sliced Grapes, Toasted Almonds, and Sea Salt
This summer salad is similar to the nectarine salad I posted back in June. The grapes add sweet bursts of juice which pairs well with the savory, toasted, crunchy almonds. I like using red wine vinegar for this dressing, but you could also just use the basic vinaigrette dressing if you have some on hand. Serve with a piece of crusty bread on the side.

Mache and Avocado Salad
This is a nice, light, delicate salad. Mache is a soft, gentle, and almost buttery lettuce. The avocado pairs very well. Brighten the basic vinaigrette with some lemon zest and juice, to give the salad a fresh zing. A sprinkling of coarse sea salt offers a bit of a crunch in this delicate salad. Serve it as a light main entrée with some crusty bread or as a side salad to accompany a fish entrée.
