First of all, a disclaimer. This spectacular salad, the Taphouse Salad with Roasted Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Smashburger, was stolen – or at least the idea of it was. This is my version of a Taphouse Salad, inspired by the bourbon, beer & burger pub in Sioux Falls, Taphouse 41. If you’re in Sioux Falls, you need to get yourself there asap!

There’s nothing like the feeling of falling in love and fallen I have. Wait – no news on the “guy” front – I’ve fallen for this Sweet Sorghum Vinaigrette. I think you’ll feel the same way once you taste it! A touch of sweet with just a hint of smoky warmth, this is unlike any dressing I’ve ever tasted (or made) before.

When I posted the recipe for the Wayside Inn Carrot Cake this summer, I mentioned a block party I was attending with my folks. I love parties where everyone brings something – there’s always some “new to me” recipe to meet, along with a few new friends! Hey, it’s not always all about the food! This Citrus Vanilla Fruit Salad was a standout, and I just can’t seem to stop making it.
I assure you this Christmas version looked much better in person!
Originally (heavily) adapted from Fine Cooking, this is the dressing I use when I make Oven Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad. A little tart, it stands up beautifully and adds a good amount of zip to the salad.

Chicken & Fruit Salad with Raspberry Dressing is one of my fave salads. The whole combo of fruit with salad greens smacks of the 90s and I think I’ve been making this version since around then, originally culled from Cooking Light. On a hot day, there’s nothing better and there’s a little something to please almost anyone!
