Somedays I just want a dinner that is so fresh and so delicious and that I know will make our bodies feel good. When we’ve eaten a lot of heavy food, or been on the go for a few days, I just want to make a dinner that will help us get back on track and so I make this super salad fresh dinner recipe. We love this every time! Each Super Salad dinner looks slightly different as I use what I have on hand, I also adapt each salad to what each person likes. This is what my salad and my husbands looks like. YUM!
You might be asking how a salad is enough to fill up my husband.. {there’s not even any meat!} But, with the pasta, egg and homemade fries on the side, this meal is not only healthy, it’s very satisfying! The kids plates look a little different. One son doesn’t like it all mixed together, so he’s got a deconstructed salad, and I let them each choose one veggie they don’t want to have. That way everyone is happy with the meal.
Let’s take a close look at what I’ve included in our super salad: Leafy Lettuce {of course!}, we love bean sprouts in it too, I cook up a bit of whatever pasta I have on hand, then add a hard boiled egg for each person and tons of veggies. {broccoli, pea pods, cucumber, tomato, red pepper, spiralized carrots , and onion}then top with your favorite kind of cheese and salad dressing. We are a Ranch and Vinaigrette family.. those two dressings make the whole family of 5 happy…
There you go! My super easy go-to easy summer salad recipe. What would you add?

I love salads, my mother made a salad every night to go with supper. We never complained. Now that I have my own family they complain that they get burnt out on the same meals. Thanks for sharing some extra ideas
