Layered Veggie Salad
This salad is also a great take-along dish to potlucks, and it serves all kinds of diets. Optional to leave the dressing off the top and let people add their own (like they would with a standard green salad).
One of my favorite kitchen tools is this OXO Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline Slicer. I slice all my veggies with this. Its so quick and easy! You can buy it here on Amazon (great reviews!) with my affiliate link.
Simplify Magazine
Friends, I want to tell you about a really good magazine that I recently heard about, Simplify.
In this month’s JUNE edition, I actually wrote an article for the Food + Diet theme. Imperfectly Perfect Hospitality. I felt so honored that they asked me to be a part of such a meaningful publication.
Joshua Becker, bestselling author and founder of Becoming Minimalist, started this magazine with his friend Brian Gardner, and it’s an ad-free, topical, online quarterly publication for families.
Two years in, there are almost 200k paid subscribers. It’s meeting a need, and people love the format. Each issue includes 8-10 articles, and takes a deep-dive into one specific topic central to the modern family.
The audience is mostly (but not exclusively) modern families with children, anywhere from new babies to teenagers.
In this June edition there are articles on Eating Healthy and Shopping on a Budget, and then articles on food and relationships. All written with soul. Words and stories that will encourage young parents—often reluctant entertainers–to let go of their Pinterest-perfect expectations and see the value of gathering friends and feasting on life, sticky floors and all.
Oh, and I just read the issue on Gratitude, Generosity, and Contentment. So good!
You can now sign up. This month only there is a special!

Summer Layered Vegetable Salad
This is our new favorite summer salad. It’s all veggies, and of course optional to serve meat on the side.
One night we served grilled tri tip on top.
Grilled chicken would be amazing, too. Oh, and more summer salads? Caprese 3 Bean Salami Salad, Summer Cobb Salad, and Creamy Pasta Salad.
It’s a fun presentation to take to a party. People can just dig in to the salad with tongs, or, you can always dump it in a large bowl and add the dressing and toss.
There are so many options.
ENJOY!
