Broccoli Salad

From Katie Lee Joel's THE COMFORT TABLE. I go crazy for this broccoli salad. I love the combination of the fresh grapes with the chewy raisins, the crunch of the pecans, and the salty bacon flavor.

Watermelon "Greek" Salad

I love the combination of salty and sweet flavors. Substituting watermelon for the tomatoes in a traditional Greek salad is a great way to add a twist to a classic and surprise the taste buds of your dining partners.

Provencal Potato Salad

From Ina Garten's 'The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook'. One of our McOmber FAVES! This is a wonderful summer afternoon lunch. Can be prepared ahead…in fact it tastes better if it has an hour or so to sit for the flavors to soak into the potatoes. Some roasted sweet potatoes would actually be FABULOUS here swapped out for half of the red potatoes.

Avocado, Radish, and Grape Quinoa Salad

Here I've combined radishes with grapes and avocados. I love the way it tastes, but also the texture next to the grainy quinoa. Whole Grain Quinoa is the most nutritious of all grains. It's high in fiber, a good source of iron, and has all eight essential amino acids. This is another of my favorite salads to eat for lunch. I'll make it up and have enough for lunch for 4 days.

Shrimp Salad Lettuce Wraps

I love, love, love shrimp salad. I keep mine pretty simple, just shrimp, celery, scallions, and avocado. This recipe is adapted from Katie Lee. Originally it was served on buns, but I prefer it as a lettuce wrap…a light and yummy lunch!

Wheatberry Salad

I love their nutty flavor combined with the tart Granny Smith apples and cranberries. The chickpeas and pecans add some protein, too. This is a lunchtime favorite for me…make up a big batch and eat all week long.
