Salads

Whenever Dr. Sweetpea and I are out at restaurants, I always look through the salad menu so I can replicate the salads at home. I think it's way cheaper to make delicious salads at home than eating them at a restaurant. Plus, most restaurants have the salad ingredients listed on the menu so it's super easy to recreate at home for a fraction of the price! These are some salads that I have replicated at home and had delicious results. Dr. Sweetpea looks forward to these salads every night!
