Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing

My birthday was a few days ago and I bought myself an air fryer. I've been on the fence about it for well over a year. Last night I experimented with a few recipes. This Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing is made with air-fried artichoke hearts (you can also just roast them in the oven), shaved Brussels sprouts, white beans, celery, parsley, and a lemon Parmesan dressing. It's so flavorful and satisfying, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

Columbia’s 1905 Salad

Columbia's 1905 Salad is from Florida's oldest restaurant in Tampa, and the oldest Spanish restaurant in the United States, called Columbia Restaurant. The restaurant opened in 1905, but this famous salad wasn't "invented" until 1940 by waiter Tony Noriega. He made it using leftover Spanish and Italian ingredients from the kitchen. The Columbia’s legendary salad is tossed tableside. They are the biggest restaurant consumer of Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce in the country, which is the “secret sauce” in the dressing recipe.
