This Avocado Feta Caesar Salad was a huge hit with my family. They cleaned out the bowl. We’ve been so into salad lately which has helped me shed the few extra pounds that I gained from nursing school. The ingredient that put this salad into over the top yumm was the homemade caesar dressing.
Ingredients for Avocado Feta Caesar Salad:
2 large heads of romaine lettuce
1-2 avocados
3 medium tomatoes
1 yellow or red bell pepper
1 small red onion
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 cup Caesar dressing (We used half of this Caesar dressing recipe)
How to Make Avocado Feta Caesar Salad:
1. Chop the romaine lettuce. Rinse and dry the lettuce using this OXO salad spinner (Amazon affiliate link). Place in a large serving bowl.
P.S. If you want to have salad ready to go, just put it in a giant zip loc bag after you spin it dry and store it in the fridge.
I like to add a little bit of dressing to the leaves at this point if I’m serving it right away to make sure the lettuce gets a nice coating of it.
2. Slice the tomatoes, red bell pepper and avocados. Add them to the bowl.
3. Finely chop red onion and sprinkle it over the salad along with the feta cheese.
4. Just before serving, drizzle with Caesar dressing and mix. Oh snap; I forgot croutons. Toss them in too.
Happy Mother’s day to all the Mom’s who read this blog and all those who will be Mom’s one day; and all of those who were birthed by moms. I’m pretty sure that covers everyone!!

My mama was the most amazing lady that I ever meet. She was my best friend. My mama passed away 2 years ago and I miss her everyday. She taught me how to cook and I really think that is how I won over my husband Volodia’s heart. I try to be like her in everything that I do. My children Alexander and Anastasia where 2 and 5 when she passed away and one morning while they where playing in the yard, I found them trying to get a huge ladder up. When I asked Anastasia what she was doing she told me that they were going to climb to heaven and bring baba home….and since her passing both of my children remember her daily!! I hope to one day be a awesome baba like she was to my kids. I miss her terribly but I know that she is our angel and watches over us..
Oh that’s so heartbreaking :(. It’s a blessing to have had a Mama that was a true role model for you and for your children. She must have been a truly amazing Baba for Alexander and Anastasia. God bless you this Mother’s day Lesia!
I’ve liked this post on facebook 🙂 Happy Mother’s day Natasha! God bless you 🙂
I love my Mama because she has taught me the most about life and cooking out of all the amazing women in my life. A young man once said, “There are so many different verions and translations of the Holy Bible, but I’ve never had any doubts wether I’m reading the correct translation. For me, the most accurate translation of the Bible is the one that my mama reads, because she deosnt only read it, she lives it out in her daily life.” Thats my mama too, and she is a role model for me. I want to be as godly, wise, and humble as she is. May God bless her and all the other moms out there. May He give you all strength to raise your children and discipline them so they grow up and serve our Lord for His glory. May the name of our Lord be praised in all your lives. Happy Mothers Day to all!
And PS, Happy Mothers Day to you too, Natasha. Thanks for all you do. You are an inspiration in my life. God bless you!
Love you, mom! And my amazing mother-in-law!
Yummy!! Your blog is the best!! Just want to tell you a little ‘thank you’ !!! 😉
Oh memories of my mom….I would say the one that comes to mind is the first time I made fried chicken. She thought it was so good and breaded so perfectly that it was store bought :). That really made my day that she taught me so well :)!
Wanted to share about my mom, whom I miss so much. 6 years ago we said goodbye to an angel sent to earth by God. She was not only my mom, but a best friend that I considered so close. She always put others first, she always looked at the brighter side. She took care of her family so well, she always knew the right thing to say at the right time. She treated every one of us 4 kids fairly, she loved she cared and she prayed. Most of all, she loved God unconditionally. Sadly. During surgery, at a doctors mistake (but Gods will) God called his angel back to heaven. So now as I take on the role of being a mother of 2 I constantly can grab examples of the way mom used to be as a wife\mom/ woman of God. And I strive towards a magnificent future with my family, knowing that someday we will all enter eternity and answer for all of our roles that God has given us. God bless all mothers!! It IS NOT an easy role! 🙂
I have both shared & liked this post on Facebook.
P.S. Thanks for this opportunity for a awesome giveaway!
My mother is amazing just because what mother isn’t! 😉 She’s taught me everything there is to know about life & has always been there for me. No one spoils or understands me like her!

We have started doing this thing where we prepare a huge salad every week and keep it in the fridge to last for a week. It helps so much especially if you are trying to eat healthy!
Being a mom is such a blessing! Im so thankful that God blessed me with the opportunity to become a mother 🙂 First it makes u be more appreciative of ur own parents, especially mom, and there are just so many little things that u learn from your own kiddos 🙂 its fascinating! The joy that kids bring into ur life is indescribable and u will only realize what that is once u hold your little newborn for the first time 🙂 a wise person once said “a baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty” and it’s so true!! I absolutely LOVE being a mama!
I love being a mom, as soon as my firstborn was in my arms, I truly fell in love. Nothing in this world comes close to holding and kissing the little cheeks, or their pudgy fingers. Then when they get a bit older they tell you all their little secrets, stories, or you are the only one who can make it all better. Its a lot of work, but worth every minute. Thank you for the giveaway. 🙂
I liked you on facebook! 🙂
My mom is an angel I’m sure; she has the patience of a saint and she even takes my kids for a week or more at a time to spend at their house so I can spend quality time with my other kiddo and get some much needed rest. Love her and thank God every day for her 🙂 she’s the best!
P.S. That salad is so yummy-avacado and feta puts it over the top I’m sure-mmmm…can’t wait til dinner time!
Hey Natasha! Your blog is awesome! I love coming here and getting recipes! They are all so yummy that just reading your recipes I’m hungry, lol. I love being a mom because I see how greatly God has blessed me with amazing girls! It the best feeling in the world when they tell you that they love you or just looking into their eyes, my heart melts! Jhasmine absolutely loves cooking and helping with cleaning (always insists on washing dishes after a meal). She wants to always try out new recipes an you blog is awesome to see the pictures (since she’s more visual and learning to read), so it makes it easier for her to pick out what she wants to help cook that day. Children and precious gifts from God and I am truly blessed to have them in my life!
By the way, Happy Mother’s Day! I have also shared this on my Facebook.
My mom is a truly amazing woman. She raised 13 of us and many times I don’t know how she did it! Of course with God’s mighty hand helping her make wise choices when it came to us misbehaving. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother and am proud to call her mom. I’m grateful for all she has done for me and my siblings! I love my mama!
Also Natasha may God bless you for all the hard work you do for us,all the yummy recipes!!!Thanks alot! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU!!!
I am a blessed mom of 3 girls and 2 boys! I thank God that he had given me all these gifts,if it wasn’t for them i really don’t know how my life would be… They are the ones that make me smile everyday and I love them with all my heart! I love being a mom and i give thanks to our God!!! I wish all moms out there many blessings from God and a great MOTHERS DAY!!!
I enjoy being a stay home mom. It is a blessing to be in this position. Raising children with eternal soul. My husband always tells me I am the one who has a hard job. Knowing the Lord and having him as a guide and understanding it is his children we are raising; is an honor. I love being a mom and enjoy every second of it. Happy Mothers Day to all the mamas out there! We always need to find our strength in the Lord each day!
Amen! We definitely need a daily dose of God’s strength and being a Mom is the most difficult job in the world. It’s 24×7. But it’s also the most rewarding. I can’t describe the feeling I get when my son is standing at the front of the church with his Sunday school class; even if he is just twiddling his thumbs and looking cute.
My Mom is amazing. In the last 3 years she lost my dad and both her parents and throughout the entire time she helped me get through my terrible pregnancy and has been flying back and forth from Florida (almost every 2 weeks) to help me raise my 2 1/2 year old twins. I’m a single mom working full time and couldn’t have done it without her. G-d bless moms
Twins? WOW!! Being a Mom is the most selfless role. God bless you and your amazing Mama!
LOve all the veggies in that salad.
I love all my kitchen memories from my mom and grandmothers’ kitchens. I cherish all the family recipes passed down by them.
I wanted to share how much I thank God for my mother! He has helped her raise five children all by herself after my dad passed away. I am blessed to have a mother like her.
And to you Natasha i wish many God’s blessing being a wonderful mother )))
Lesya; your mother sounds like an incredible woman of God. I could not imagine how difficult that must have been for her. God bless you and your Mama!!
