There's a dozen different salads out there that I love, and this easy wonton salad is one of them. I've been a big fan of the Bibigo mini chicken and cilantro wontons for a long time. They take no time at all to prepare (1 minute in the microwave) and you can eat a whole… Continue reading Easy Wonton Salad

Tuna and White Bean Salad
Spring is right around the corner in Oklahoma. The Bradford Pear, Dogwood and Redbud trees are already starting to bloom. We've had a relatively mild winter with warmer temperatures arriving nearly a month early. I'm getting antsy to go out foraging. Spring in Oklahoma is my absolute favorite time of year because the bounty is… Continue reading Tuna and White Bean Salad
Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is a great lunch to take to work. It feels like you're getting more out of your sandwich than if you're just bringing a regular ol' turkey and cheese sandwich. Chicken salad is filling and hearty, if you can call a cold salad "hearty". There is one problem with chicken salad though: it's… Continue reading Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Pei Wei Lettuce Wrap Salad
One of my go-to fast food lunch stops is Pei Wei. When I worked evenings, I would DoorDash Pei Wei almost once a week. It drained my wallet, but it was easy and delicious when I was in a pinch. There are two menu items I would rotate: their poke salad (I don't know if… Continue reading Pei Wei Lettuce Wrap Salad
Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
I've meal-prepped on Sundays for as long as I can remember. I started doing it as a way to get all my potential blog posts done in one sitting. That evolved into getting all my blog posts AND videos done in one sitting. It also helps that I get my weekly cooking done in one… Continue reading Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
Veggie Orzo Salad
I've got a smorgasbord of pasta in my pantry right now. A lot of the recipes I've been cooking lately call for just a few cups of pasta, so I end up with half-empty bags and boxes on the shelf. I've used one 16-ounce box of orzo twice now, and there's still some pasta left!… Continue reading Veggie Orzo Salad
Chicken Enchilada Pasta Salad
If you add protein to a pasta salad, you can have a really healthy and hearty lunch in a jif. I love to do that when I'm out of salad ideas for work. You can add salami and ham to an Italian-style pasta salad, or tuna to a macaroni salad, or chicken to just about… Continue reading Chicken Enchilada Pasta Salad
Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
When I was in high school, my small town had a massive restaurant opening. Cheddar's, the chain casual American restaurant, had moved to our small town. Everyone I knew was obsessed with the restaurant. If you were going to prom or another big dance, it was THE restaurant to eat at beforehand. I had several… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Pimiento Cheese Pasta Salad
Pimiento cheese is serious business in the South. You can get into major arguments about how you like your pimiento cheese. Some people swear by a certain kind of mayonnaise, cheese, and flavor. Some people like it on the sweeter side, while others prefer the savory/spicy side. Then there are die-hard fans of the pre-packaged… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Pasta Salad
Cowboy Caviar Pasta Salad
I can remember the first time I had Cowboy Caviar. It was during my first year of living on my own in an apartment in Oklahoma City around 2014/2015. A next door neighbor had made a big batch of Cowboy Caviar (also known as Texas Caviar) and offered me some with Club Crackers. He was… Continue reading Cowboy Caviar Pasta Salad
