Summer Vegetable Salad

Summer Vegetable Salad

This recipe might fall into the “duh” category.  I should probably make that a thing on my recipe category side bar.  This salad would be in there, along with this and this.  You know- things that are so basic that you really don’t need a recipe 

Bok Choy Salad with Sesame-Almond Crunch

Bok Choy Salad with Sesame-Almond Crunch

You know what I get sick of hearing?  How leafy greens are so good for you.  (Before you start, yeah, I know they are. I like them even.) Whenever someone starts in on the benefits of leafy greens, my eyes kind of glaze over.  Because 

French Potato and Green Bean Salad

French Potato and Green Bean Salad

  I’ve never been to France.  And I really can’t complain about it.  I’ve been plenty of places that are amazing and have opened my eyes and taken my breath away.  I’ve visited the Taj Mahal and the small town in Germany that my Grandma 

Roasted Carrot Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette

Hi.  I’m back.  I took a little hiatus for a week or so there, because with the holidays and all, it was just too much.  Too much fun, too much running around, too much gorging myself on festive holiday food.  All that.  And more.  But 

Harvest Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad with Olive Vinaigrette

Harvest Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad with Olive Vinaigrette

We don’t eat out much.  It’s expensive, I like to cook, and two of our dining companions make eating in public somewhat tricky.  By tricky, I mean terrible.  There is always so much crying.  And the kids aren’t too happy either. BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS.

Fattoush

I love summer.  For all the usual reasons that people love summer, but also because everything just tastes better.  Of course, fruit and vegetables are just all around more delicious when they’re grown in your backyard or picked out from a local market.  But I 

Chicken BLT Salad with Fresh Ranch Dressing

I know this sounds like something you’d buy at McDonalds.  But I swear, it’s nowhere near that.  How many of us have been duped into buying something that sounded as good as this and wound up with a head of lettuce, a piece of anemic 

Purslane Salad with Strawberries, Walnuts, and Feta

Purslane is a weed.  Which is perfect, because I specialize in growing weed gardens.  I grow them very well.  I’m ok with tomatoes, kale turns out alright, but man, those weeds… they really thrive. Purslane is also, thankfully, very tasty.  It’s small, tender leaves have 

Kohlrabi and Watercress Salad

For as my much and often as I sing the praises of kohlrabi, I have a teeny, tiny confession to make: I had never eaten it uncooked.  My dad would always tell us that that is how he had it as a kid, so I
