Formula for a Salad

Salads are a no-brainer for me. I don’t post many salad recipes unless it is a “special” salad that goes outside of the formula I usually use. We eat a lot of salads around here as a side dish alongside a meal or for lunch. This way, I can use the bits and pieces of […]

Roasted Potato Salad

This potato salad has a unique flavor and texture that reminds me of a German potato salad.
