Love salads on hot days! Thanks for including my strawberry arugula salad – we’ve been eating it nonstop!
These look super! Thanks! I’ll take just about all of them! Nicely done…
So many tasty salads here! I can’t wait to try them.
Hi Anne – I’ve noticed the ads on your blog becoming more and more intrusive (the auto-play video that displays on mobile and takes up 1/2 the screen is the worst offender). I understand the need to monetize the blog, but it’s really taking a toll on the experience. I’ve been reading for a long time (pre-UNC, pre-engagement days!) and love the content, though!
Hi Kat, Thank you for reading my blog and for that feedback! I appreciate you speaking up. I’ll talk to my ad network about dialing things back – I never look at my blog on my phone (just on my computer) so I had no idea that was happening re: the huge video! I’d be annoyed by that too! Is the problem with the ads primarily on mobile? Or are you having issues on a computer, too? Thanks!
I’m alllll about the mason jar salads. So easy to bring to work!
So many great ideas! Thanks Anne!
awesome round-up! So many delicious healthy salad options to end the summer with. Thanks for including my Citrus Beet Salad recipe :)
Fabulous salads. I love beets and pairing them with pink grapefruit is amazing.
