- Lori Yates of Foxes Love Lemons submitted her recipe for a chicken chopped salad that conveniently fits into a mason jar, which is perfect for lunch on-the-go. Yates is a member of the Culinary Content Network.
- The winner this week is Donna Pelech of The Devils Food Advocate and her recipe for a wintery farro salad sprinkled with juicy pomegranate seeds. Pelech is a member of the Culinary Content Network.
All of the recipes featured can be made at home for about $20 or less, excluding the cost of small amounts of basic ingredients such as butter, oil, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, and other dried herbs and spices.
