A Heart For Home: Calling All Salads

My husband & I are trying to eat a main dish salad every day and we need your help. We are looking for healthy, main dish salad recipes because eating healthy works for us. We also have a large garden this year which makes eating fresh salads even more frugal.

Please, post your favorite salad recipe on your blog and link up here so that we, and everyone else, can enjoy plate after plate of fresh salads this summer.

Remember to leave a link to this carnival so everyone can find more healthy salad recipes and join in the fun!

You can also link to a salad recipe you've posted in the past.

To help spread the word about this carnival, grab this button for your blog post or sidebar.

If you don't have a blog, please leave your recipe in the comments section of this post.

This carnival will be open all summer, so please continue to add your tried-and-true favorites as well as new concoctions.

Thanks everyone & happy eating!

Please, leave your link in a comment and I'll add it to this post.

Hi Allyson,

Like the salad idea you have going. I left you a recipe for one of our favorites - Hot Marinated Beef Salad. However, I always seem to screw up when I do Mister Linky and didn't put the name of my blog OR the name of the salad in the box. I'm a dork. If you can tell me how to fix that part I'll gladly do it - otherwise everyone can just be surprised!

Thanks, Pam
