There are many ways to prepare a spring salad and we decided it would be the ideal theme for this week's SWAT (Sharing With A Theme). We put the Culinary Content Network and our staff to the test to come up with spring salad recipes and here are some of the highlights:

  • Maria Nelson of Pink Patisserie shared with us her recipe for spring greens and farro salad with beets and citrus. Nelson is a member of the Culinary Content Network.
  • Anna Voloshyna of Divine Cuisine shared with us her recipe for iceberg lettuce with balsamic dressing, which is perfect for a spring lunch. Voloshyna is a member of the Culinary Content Network.
  • The winner this week is Christine Ma of Cherry on my Sundae. Ma shared with us her recipe for a fresh market salad full of spring greens with a poached egg on top. Ma is a member of the Culinary Content Network.

All of the recipes featured can be made at home for about $20 or less, excluding the cost of small amounts of basic ingredients such as butter, oil, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, and other dried herbs and spices.
