And those are definitely all keepers. But one thing that I haven’t shared until now is our very favorite house salad recipe.

Similar to how we started calling our house seasoning mix, [Stone House Seasoning]( this salad was named. (I never claimed we were super creative people! 🙂 ). Since my last name is Stone and this is our house salad (like our house seasoning), that’s the name. It may seem a bit odd to share such a basic salad recipe. And it most likely is. But, you see my son is a senior in high school and we began thinking of all the basic dishes that I make that he will most likely want to make as he goes off to college next year.

I store the ingredients in separate, airtight containers in the refrigerator. Basic Ingredients.
