I can’t believe that the Salad as a Meal Challenge is coming to a close! Sunday will be my last day blogging for the series and I’ve got just two posts left. How quickly did that come and go??
So in this last week, I thought it would be nice to do a little post of recaps and highlights. Starting with my very own Dining and Dishing faves!
Chilled Pea and Buttermilk Soup
Chilled Evergreen Tomato Velouté
Chicken Salad with Green Beans, Tahini- Lemon- Yogurt Dressing, and Cilantro
Cantaloupe, Tomato, Goat Cheese, Cucumber and Onion Salad
I also want to highlight the lovely ladies who have been participating in the challenge alongside me. For different takes on some of the recipes you’ve seen here/recipes you didn’t see here at all, check them out!

What a fun challenge it’s been. I’ve seriously had the best time creating content for these posts. I’m really proud of the recipes and photos I’ve developed from the challenge and am so pleased I had the chance to participate. Dining and Dishing has been looking especially beautiful these last few weeks and that always makes me happy 
.
So I will see you later in the week with one final “Salad as a Meal”.
What fun projects have you been doing lately??
I have LOVED following this challenge on your blog! You’ve definitely made some incredible dishes. I plan to try the lightened guac and a version of the bread- yum! Challenges? hahah- I guess getting ready for the baby
I don’t remember if I saw the original guac post, but that looks insane. I love the dark green! I’ve been loving these posts so much.
My fun project is supposed to be “Project Home” but I haven’t been good about it and I haven’t been blogging about it. Maybe I should, then I will have accountability!
It has been fun, hasn’t it? I’m kind of sad we’re winding down, but so happy I got to “meet” all of you wonderful ladies
Your photos have been absolutely gorgeous.
I never had a chance to try that cantaloupe salad but I have GOT to get on that. It looks like the perfect spring salad!
Great recap!! I might follow suit
… My favorites of your posts are the Ham & Cheese Bread and the Chilled Pea Soup. Great pics! I’ll keep following your blog when all is said and done.
That Ham & Cheese bread looks really good!
My latest project is planning the menu for Easter dinner!
My fun project is school. Meaning it is not particularly fun. lol Once again, I have to say how amazing that Ham and Cheese bread looks. I remember gushing about it on the actual post, but it just looks so good!!
you did an AWESOME job with this challenge! the chilled pea soup looks excellent!
xo.
You SHOULD be proud of the recipes and photos Beth!!! They are FANTASTIC!!!! I’m planning on making the lightened up guac soon! Have a great day!!!
[...] … and Beth gets nostalgic. [...]
Beth, I loved your recap and feel the same way. So happy to have met all of you and shared this together. You have inspired me to try the ham and cheese bread. Could it then be made into French Toast?
) May try, as I have some Maple Syrup at hand! All the best, I’m following you from now on, and hope to meet you in person when I am in Washington DC next!
i think french toast is SUCH a good idea! let me know if you do this – and how it goes!
All of your pics look so wonderful—-I’m really wishing for some guac light right now!
You did a great job! Everything looks amazing!
Your pictures are great! Lovin that new camera!
Looks like it’s been a DELICIOUS challenge, for sure!! Which dish was your fave?
haha – tough question! probably the cantaloupe salad – the flavors were fabulous together!
