Fresh snow pea quinoa salad
I’m ashamed to say I was tempted to keep this recipe only for my Spring and Summer e-book, but I just couldn’t. EVERYONE should know about this one – it is so healthy, yum, and perfect for the season. Whether you just want it as a side or as a main, this pretty salad is […]
Winter buckwheat salad
Did you know that buckwheat (also known as kasha) is a seed of a fruit related to rhubarb? As such, it is a great option if you are trying to cut down on grains, looking for carb that have a lower glycemic rate, or on the gluten-free train. It is also packed with nutrients and […]
Wild rice nectarine salad with goat cheese
This wild rice nectarine salad with goat cheese was a real hit over the summer. The concept of adding stone fruit to salad has grown in popularity over the last few years (I first tried the combo here), and I for one, love the addition of peaches or nectarines – especially when there is some […]
Refreshing chicken and green couscous salad
Refreshing chicken and green couscous salad is my way of jumping on the summer salad-for-dinner bandwagon. Dill is one of my favorite herbs. Its unique taste, somewhere between fennel, anise, and celery, makes it a great addition to any summer dish. Here, I combine it with kale for some extra superfood power and add consistency […]
Shredded chicken spinach salad with date dressing
I’m not sure what’s the best part of this shredded chicken spinach salad with date dressing, the salad or the dressing. All I know is that it’s made it into my weekly menu for 3 weeks in a row and it’s not going away anytime soon. For those of you find it hard to incorporate […]
Brilliant Asian slaw
There are two ways I could present this beauty. The first would be that it is an dazzling little appetizer or side salad that will satisfy anyone’s tastebuds. The dressing is addictively good and the combination of carrot, radish, celery and cabbage just works brilliantly. The second way of describing it would be that it’s […]
Sublime late summer salad
By now, you probably know that no meal rocks my world more than a good main course-worthy salad. This one’s no exception. It’s also a perfect way to transition your taste buds from summer to autumn. The roquefort’s sharp tang is well balanced by buttery walnuts, the mild bitterness of greens and natural sweetness of […]
Smokin’ Mexican street salad
We had a big dinner the other night where my husband made his signature chili. I didn’t want to interfere with his dish – as I often tend to do when he’s cooking – so I busied myself doing sides to add some freshness to the spicy Tex Mex affair. This typically Mexican salad is […]
A berry pretty salad
Strawberries in a savory salad work, they really do. Especially when paired with aromatic herbs like mint, basil and complemented with salty feta. It’s a lovely one to ring in spring or summer and also perfect to bring for a picnic or barbecue with friends because it is just so darn pretty. I’ve added quinoa […]
A damn good salad bowl
My husband and I regularly have “make do with what you’ve got” nights where we just take out whatever fresh produce that needs to be eaten, lay it all out on the table and see how if we can create something out of it. This bowl saw the light of day on one of those […]
