House Salad
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I live for my nightly "House Salad" with cucumbers, avocado and my moms balsamic dressing. It’s a staple. Simple, fresh, and totally versatile – it’s the salad that winds up on our table 5 out of 7 nights, and once you try it, you’ll see why! I give you... the WGC House Salad!

Notes
You can’t go wrong with this one and you can make adjustments to the ingredients depending on what’s in your fridge! Most of this stuff I keep on hand at all times so I can whip this up as a side for dinner – or make a batch for lunch and throw some grilled chicken or salmon on top and call it a day!
