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!
