Today, I’m sharing something a little different with you all. This is not really a “recipe” per se—or at least it doesn’t really feel like one to me. BUT this is a quick dinner (and sometimes lunch) that I make for myself at least two times a week lately, and I love it so I just thought I’d share. Why not?
I love a good salad but that’s just it—lots of salads are not good. They are boring and bland and just not very exciting to eat. Not this salad! I started making this based off a salad I used to order all the time from a place near our old office in Springfield: St. Michael’s. I love their toasted ravioli salad and I started making my own version this year at home and haven’t looked back.
You could make this for two or a larger family. Or you can make it for just one, like I usually do. It’s one of those meals that’s delicious, easy to throw together, and pretty darn good for you too.
I say it’s not really a recipe because basically it’s a salad topped with frozen toasted ravioli (this is the brand I almost always buy). The salad ingredients can vary based on what you have, and I always top it with a balsamic dressing. That’s it! It probably doesn’t sound like anything special, but I eat this meal ALL the time and love it. So now you know.
I’m going to put a recipe card below, just because, but you really don’t need one. Sometimes I feel like I just need a few more easy dinner ideas and so if that’s you too I just thought I’d share one of mine. Enjoy! xo. Emma
