All the colors of the rainbow are represented in this quick paleo salad with a creamy, dairy-free raspberry walnut dressing.
 
I’ve been wanting to make a rainbow salad for a while now, but this seemed like an especially opportune moment. Summer produce is everywhere in all its resplendent hues, and more Americans are able to get married than ever before. Let’s celebrate with this salad!

This healthy salad has pretty much all the colors of the rainbow (if you kind of merge indigo and violet together) plus pink. Pink is my favorite color and it’s not really fair that it’s not a part of the official rainbow, so I made sure it was included by making a nice pink dressing. Despite how creamy it looks, the dressing is dairy-free–the creaminess comes from the walnuts and shallots, and the color is thanks to the raspberries. It’s inspired by the creamy shallot dressing from my pan-seared chicken, orange, and walnut salad, but this one’s even better because it’s pink.

Pan-Seared Chicken, Orange, & Walnut Salad

March 22, 2014 By Becky 47 Comments

Next Friday is the one-year anniversary of my very first blog post (note the cringe-worthy photos).  Even though I didn’t know much about blogging back then, I totally stand by that first recipe–the lemon curd is so delicious.  It’s amazing that this site, which is such a big part of my life now, didn’t even exist just one year ago.
To celebrate, I made us a salad.  If you don’t think a salad is the proper way to celebrate a blogiversary, you’re right–I don’t think of salads as celebratory, either.  I totally have plans for an over-the-top grain-free cake for next week, but thought I would balance things out by making this nutritious salad first.
My favorite part of this salad (other than the gorgeous hue of the Cara Cara oranges) is the creamy dreamy dressing.  I’m pretty boring with dressings, and usually just make a simple balsamic vinaigrette, perhaps with a touch of honey or Dijon mustard if I’m feeling fancy.  However, I do have a soft spot for rich, creamy dressings.  I wondered if I could make a great creamy dressing without any dairy, so that people with allergies (or people doing a Whole30 or strict paleo) could eat it.
