Yummy Spring Salads

Have you ever seen something delicious-looking on Pinterest or Instagram and instantly started craving it?

While mindlessly scrolling, I saw a delicious shrimp salad with cheese shavings and fresh romaine lettuce. Naturally, seeing these images made me daydream about what other salads I could make for dinner. Here are some of my ideas:
 

Grilled Steak with Baby Arugula and Parmesan Salad:
After a hectic day at work, it is always refreshing to make a quick and easy meal that is tasty and cost effective! Today I am going to make a grilled steak with baby arugula and parmesan salad.

I rarely eat red meat, but after seeing pictures of this salad and reading the reviews I had to have it for myself. What is so great about this salad? Is it the fresh parmesan, scrumptious Dijon mustard and lemon combination? Or is it the fact that it only takes 20 minutes to make? I will have to let you know that answer to those questions later this week! 

Lime Caesar Salad:
This zesty, and highly seasoned, Caesar dressing has multiple uses that can be great if you are on a tight budget! This delicious spread can also be used as a sandwich. It could also serve as a yummy appetizer if you try it on toasted French bread with sliced tomatoes.

After checking to make sure that the dish is practical the next thing I check is the ingredient list and preparation time. For this recipe, the ingredient list is pretty short and affordable. And the preparation time is not listed, but from reading the directions it seems like this salad could be made in just a few minutes! Cheap, quick and delicious!

Quinoa, Corn, and Mint Salad:
During the spring and summer months I always want to eat meals that are fresh and not too heavy on my stomach. This quinoa, corn and mint salad looks like it may be just the ticket! This would be the perfect salad to accompany a grilled protein dish!

After reading the recipe’s reviews it seems as though everyone is thrilled with the textures and combination of flavors of the dish.  Many reviewers recommended pairing the dish with grilled steak and an avocado salad.
