Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Salad

August 6, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

August is always so crazy hot and humid here. The sticky weather makes it hard to think about eating anything that requires cooking. I tend to turn to salads all the time because they are cool and refreshing. I always want some protein with my salad too but hate the idea of heating up the kitchen to cook it. This grilled chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect solution because it requires almost no cooking and tastes amazing!

This chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect hot weather lunch option.

Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Tuna Salad

September 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Tuna salad is one of those great go to lunch ideas because it is full of protein to help you make it through the day and tastes great. It also makes the perfect after school snack when the kids come home complaining they are so hungry. I created this pesto and sun dried tomato tuna salad to change up my typical version and cut out a lot of the unhealthy items that typically go into a tuna salad. 

Tuna salad is the perfect lunch or after school snack option! Opt for this version which has zero mayo and is full of amazing flavor.

5 Perfect Lunch Salads with #DixieQuicktakes

July 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Lunch options in or near my office are very limited. Like a single cafe with boring sandwiches kind of limited. So, I like to take my lunch as much as possible. Not only does it give me lots more options but it also helps me save money.  Now that the weather is warmer, I am definitely focused on salads more but tend to avoid lettuce based salads because they don’t hold up very well in travel. I was thinking about my lunch menu for upcoming weeks and came up with five perfect lunch salads.

These are five awesome ideas for lunch salads plus a great way to transport them.

Succotash Salad

June 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

During hot weather months, I tend to turn away from hot lunches like soups or casseroles.  They all still taste good but a nice cool sandwich {like this one} or a salad tends to my lunch of choice when it is so hot outside.  I love salads with lettuce but for some reason, when I make them at home, they just don’t do it for me like a restaurant salad.  So, I stick to pasta salads or vegetable centered ones like this succotash salad.

Gluten Free Chicken and Kale Salad

March 12, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I have a good friend {amaze-ball friend, really} who recently had to go gluten free for health reasons.  Now, I know that these days there are all kinds of gluten free products out there to help people make the transition but it can still come as a shock to your system.  So, in an effort to help and be supportive, I decided that I would start including more gluten free options here on the blog.  I find that lunch is typically the most difficult meal for me to make specialized in any way because it usually eaten at the office so I decided to focus on lunch first and made this gluten-free chicken and kale salad topped with a carrot cucumber dressing.  Not only is it gluten free but it is super healthy and delicious too.

Nicoise Pasta Salad Recipe

September 26, 2013 By Shannah Coe 49 Comments

Turn a classic French salad into the perfect pasta salad for your light lunch or summer picnic. Niçoise pasta salad has all the classic flavors but swaps the traditional lettuce for pasta.

A traditional Niçoise salad is made up of tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, olives and anchovies. You’ll find quite a lot of variation in the ingredients and dressing though with the more modern version including potatoes and green beans such as this Niçoise pasta salad had.
