Salad

Whether as a light meal or a side dish, the salads in this collection are certain to shine.  Innovative combinations and revised classics, as well as completely novel and decadent creations, all surprise with spectacular flavor.  Most are easily composed, so you can treat yourself anytime.  Make one to share with friends, or set an intimate tone by presenting individually composed plates for two.  Either way, your diners will be delighted.

Welcome!

I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
