I’m so honored to be recognized as a 2026 Women in Business honoree by .businessjournal, alongside 49 other amazing Twin Cities women.

It was such a joy to share the day with a room full of talented, inspiring, and accomplished women — including one of my favorite restaurant owners and pastry chefs, Diane Moua of Diane’s Place. I even got to have lunch with Diane, which made the day extra special!

Thank you, Minnesota Business Journal, for this wonderful honor.

Salad Girl Organic Dressings began 20 years ago as a small dream, stirred with purpose, courage, family, and friends — and I am deeply grateful for every person who helped bring that dream to life.

A heartfelt thank you to my sweet friend Alicia Hinze of , a recipient of this award last year, for nominating me; to Brenda Langton for inspiring me as a young woman to learn to eat, prepare, and share whole foods; and to my husband and business partner, Jimmy, for his expertise, patience, perseverance, and endless support.

Thank you to all of our Twin Cities and Midwest grocery partners — , , our wonderful Midwest co-op stores, , Festival Foods, Coborn’s, and so many others — for believing in Salad Girl and helping us grow.

A very special thank you to the wonderful Mary Anne Kowalski, who gave me my very first spot on the refrigerated produce shelves of her beautiful stores. That first “yes” changed everything.

And to my little sister Patti, who was here with me today — my best friend and best marketing person — thank you for proudly pointing out Salad Girl in the refrigerated produce aisle to anyone and everyone, in every store, every chance you get!

My heart is full. Thank you to my family, friends, customers, grocery partners, and everyone who has supported Salad Girl along the way.

With so much gratitude,
Pam
Founder, Salad Girl Organic Dressings

Happy Mother’s Day⁠
⁠
It’s been said that becoming a mother makes you realize you can do almost anything one-handed — and oh, how true that is.⁠
⁠
Cooking, cleaning, feeding the dog, carrying one child on your hip while another is coloring nearby — sometimes on the wall — so many moms, aunties, gigis, grandmas, and caregivers know that beautiful chaos well.⁠
⁠
Mothering is planning, juggling, loving, worrying, feeding, cheering, teaching, and trying to carve out one tiny moment for yourself in the middle of it all. And then suddenly, those little munchkins grow up, and we get the incredible privilege of seeing the thoughtful adults they become.⁠
⁠
So today, we’re celebrating that crazy, chaotic, maddening, magical process — with Poppa in the kitchen makin’ a Mom’s Day Strawberry Salad.⁠
⁠
Easy~Pleasy grocery list for Poppa: Local Revol Spring Greens, organic strawberries, sliced crunchy sugar snaps, crumbled Humble Goat Cheese, pistachios, and a sweet-tart drizzle of Salad Girl Pomegranate Pear Organic Vinaigrette.⁠
⁠
Easy pleasy prep: slice strawberries, slice sugar-snap peas, put fresh greens into a pretty salad bowl, sprinkle with 1/2 C. humble goat cheese & 1/2 C. pistachios, gently toss with Salad Girl Pom-Pear Vinaigrette, and make Momma happy.⁠
⁠
Here’s to the moms, aunties, gigis, nonnas, grandmas, and mother-hearts who keep loving through every season. Keep your eyes on the magical moments — even when you’re exhausted, even when bedtime is chaos, and even when that final ten-minute warning means absolutely nothing because toddlers can’t tell time.⁠
⁠
Happy Mother’s Day from our Salad Girl family to yours. ⁠

April is here and no matter the weather, we are celebrating bright fresh Spring ingredients!

We’re swooning over this Spring Brunch Salad from our favorite Partner in YUM, Hannah Mathews .ofsunshine — a bowl full of sunshine, crunch, and that just-picked magic filled with Spring flavor!

Spring Greens tossed with fresh herbs, tender-crisp asparagus, sweet peas, and peppery radishes mingle with creamy avocado and tangy goat cheese, crunch of toasted pistachios and crispy chickpeas!
Fresh herbs — basil, mint, and chives — make every bite feel alive.

For an Easter twist, add some sliced hard-boiled egg for a little extra richness and beauty.

All tossed in our Lemony Herb Organic Vinaigrette — bright Meyer lemon, rosemary, basil, oregano… a little sunshine in every drizzle.

This is spring on a plate. Fresh. Vibrant. Full of feel-good flavor.

Save this for your Easter brunch table

And don’t forget — this dressing doubles as a marinade too

Sunshine in a bottle ☀️🍋

Our Mediterranean-inspired Organic Lemony Herb Vinaigrette is bursting with the fresh, vibrant flavors of the garden. We cold-blend bright organic Meyer lemon juice with fragrant rosemary, basil, and oregano, then finish it with a kiss of sea salt, cracked black pepper, and zesty citrus for that perfectly balanced, savory-fresh bite.

This beautiful vinaigrette isn’t just for salads… it doubles as a marinade, bringing bold, herb-kissed flavor to chicken, fish, shrimp, roasted veggies, and more.

Drizzle this delight over fresh spring greens, splash it on garden baby spring veggies like asparagus or let it soak into your favorite proteins for an easy, sunshine-filled Mediterranean grilled chicken, grilled sea bass or grilled wild caught salmon-the ideas for this versatile vinaigrette ar endless!

Simple ingredients. Bright flavor. Endless ways to enjoy.
