I love the versatility of a cherry tomato salad. By simply swapping the dressing with another favorite, you can create an entirely new dish with very little effort. And I’m all for very little effort in the kitchen! Try this one with the dressing from the Grilled…

Grilled Chicken Antipasto Salad
My original antipasto salad recipe appeared in Paleo Indulgences and has been a family favorite for years. While we have enjoyed that particular version many times, I realized recently that it is more of a delicious side dish than a main meal when taken on the road….
Citrus Red Onion Slaw with Grilled Chicken
Want to know a secret? I originally created this recipe with red cabbage. I had it all planned out, with the recipe jotted down. Then I went to prepare it one sunny afternoon, and bam! No red cabbage in the house. How did that happen? I was writing a book, for…
Tomato Avocado Salad with Grilled Chicken
There is nothing better than summer-ripe tomatoes with a light vinaigrette to bring out their intense flavors! You can use your favorite tomatoes here, but I highly recommend splurging on some organic heirlooms. The colors and textures they bring to this salad can’t…
Steak & Chard Salad with Roasted Beets
For meals on the go, it doesn’t get any healthier or easier than this beautiful salad. Make everything a day ahead, and throw it together during your pit stop for a filling and nutritious lunch-a-go-go. Even my kiddos, who think they don’t like chard, annihilate this…
Jicama Carrot Slaw with Grilled Steak
I made this slaw recently to take on a day trip with my family, and they ate it so quickly that I didn’t even get a bite! Good thing I packed other goodies, or I would have starved. (Well, we were 30 minutes from home, so I wouldn’t have starved. But I was getting…
Creamy Cilantro No Potato Salad
First, a big thank you goes to Sarah Fragoso at Everyday Paleo for coming up with the original No Potato Salad made with cauliflower. Genius! Second, this recipe is another example of how I often mess up in the kitchen. One of the best parts of a good potato salad,…
Deviled Ham ‘n’ Eggs
I find it hard to believe now, but as a kid, I didn’t like deviled eggs. I would scoop out the filling and eat just the whites. There was something seriously wrong with me back then; I’m sure of it. Nowadays, I can’t get enough of these one-bite flavor explosions! I…
Sweet ‘n’ Smoky Deviled Eggs
If you’re tired of the same ol’ deviled eggs, this recipe will get you “egg-cited!” And best of all, you can customize the filling “egg-zactly” how you like. Prefer the flavor of mayo over avocado? You can use Paleo mayo instead, or a little bit of both. Like your…
Cashew Lime Hummus
I used to be a recipe addict. I would tear countless recipes from magazines and hold on to them for years in the hope that one day I’d make a delicious item that would become a family favorite forever. Alas, I’ve grown up a bit since then, and I hate clutter. So I…
Cracked Pepper and Chive Crackers
On road trips, we like to snack on crackers, salami, olives, etc. So I like to whip up some of these crunchy treats. We love the toasty onion flavor and the little bit of heat from the black pepper. These crispy crackers are perfect with guacamole too! CRACKERS ½ cup…
Nut-Free Granola Bars
Seeds are a great alternative to nuts, but they can get a little boring, according to my eight-year-old. She alternates between pumpkin and sunflower seeds, but she needs them jazzed up occasionally. The maple syrup and sunbutter in these heavenly bars give them an…
