Originally published on June 3, 2015 When I first started thinking of garnishes for the blog, to be honest, I didn’t know if it was something that was really worthwhile.

Harvest Salad
Originally published on June 4, 2015 This salad sort of comes from my work. While we serve a salad that’s very, very similar to this (and we do call it Harvest Salad), I did have to make several substitutions due to what I had in my fridge.

Originally published on July 22, 2015 I love Caesar salad in its traditional form using Romaine lettuce.
