This week started out a little crazy because I had to finish all of my cookbook edits for Baby's First Bites (which will be released in the Fall in case you didn't know!)  I mean, it's only Wednesday, but I am positive it should be Friday already.  Do you ever have weeks like that?  Well this week is one of those for me and easy is the name of the game for all things in the kitchen.  I haven't had the time or the energy for anything but easy recipes and one of my favorites go-to's is the best house salad that you will ever make at home!

I originally created this recipe for eHow and I'm telling you it's such a flavorful and delicious salad. It's great served as a side dish to any meal, but I love adding chicken to it for a healthy dinner!  I know you have had a house salad at a restaurant and it either becomes your favorite or it lacks luster...well this salad doesn't lack any luster and I am pretty sure will be your new favorite salad to make at home!  

You can add any additional of your favorite ingredients here, but I have listed all of my favorite toppings to create the best house salad that your whole family will love!

Head over to eHow to get the full tutorial and recipe!

Crunchy croutons and a homemade tangy vinaigrette take this house salad to the next level!
