How about some creative salads to get you eating well in 2024? Here are some that your family and/or guests will love from around the globe including a Lobster Avocado Salad, French bistro salad, Italian orange, and fennel salad, a Greek stacked vegetable salad, and more.

A friend was asking for a good salad recipe and a few from my repertoire came to mind! As a reminder for you (and myself) here is a round-up of creative salads that we enjoy making year-round.

In fact, we made the the Lobster, Grapefruit, Avocado Salad again last night.

Salade Nicoise

This salad with fresh grilled tuna makes a meal.

Refreshing Insalata Finocchio

INSALATA FINOCCHIO is made with Fennel, Celery Salad with Oranges. It’s great to serve with a heavier entree.

Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad With Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette, and More

This is my “go-to” salad dressing with shaved broccoli, arugula, and parmesan.

Simple Layered Greek Salad

It’s just all about the presentation: this simple layered Greek Salad is easy to make.

French Bistro Salad

Authentic French Bistro Salad

 Here is a great salad with a poached egg and lardons (bacon bits) found in most Paris bistros. It’s a specialty of Howard’s.

Lobster Grapefruit Avocado Salad

This is an elegant, light first course.

Tasty Salad with Pear, Arugula, and Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

This is a simple recipe for an Autumn Salad that I created using these ingredients from Trader Joe’s.  My husband loves it…and he’s a great cook.
