Moroccan Carrot Ribbon Salad With & Orange-Tahini Dressing

As much as I’ve tried to expose my kids to adventurous flavors from birth, let’s just say that at this present moment, their tastes veer more towards spaghetti than smoked salmon, and quesadillas will always win out over kale salad. Don’t think for a second that I’m giving up, however – Phoebe and Henry still […]

Fatoush, A Middle Eastern Panzanella

A couple weeks ago, we threw an end-of-summer dinner party with food from Israeli chef, Berty Richter (who’s bringing authentic hummus to Austin with the launch of his food truck Hummus Among Us.) Today he’s sharing his recipe for fatoush. He says: “Fatoush is a great way to use up leftover pita bread. In Israel, […]

Fried Cauliflower Salad

Check out the full story here! From Berty of Hummus Among Us: “There are many versions of this salad back in Israel. This specific one I created in NYC when I was the executive chef of Isabella’s. I wanted to feature strong and pungent Israeli ‘street food’ flavors using amba, tahini, and lots of herbs […]

This Detox Salad Will Give you All The Spa Vibes

I have this weird thing with fruit — I don’t like it in things. I love berries and stone fruit and citrus on their own always, but when it comes to tossing those same things into a bowl with yogurt or a salad and even dessert, count me out. It’s an aversion I’ve had for as long as I can remember, […]

Kale, Persimmon, & Pomegranate Salad

2016 was the year that I finally boarded the persimmon train. I know, I know: those of you who were early adopters are shaking your heads in bewilderment that I’ve made it this far in my adult life without falling in love with persimmons, but there you have it. I’d always walk right past the […]

Beet, Pomegranate and Hazelnut Salad

Eden Grinshpan’s recipe for Pomegranate, Beet and Hazelnut salad is as flavorful as it is beautiful. Beets can be a bit tricky, but the way they are prepared here are absolutely delicious.  She roasts them in the oven for about 4o minutes with vinegar and orange peel.  The result?  A beet with a delicious and milder […]

Asparagus, Quinoa, & Rice Salad with Goat Cheese & Maple-Tahini Dressing

This post is sponsored by Mars SEEDS OF CHANGE® and Target It’s become a running Thanksgiving joke at our house. Each year when I start planning the menu for our family feast, everyone else votes to have the exact same menu items as last year, but I just can’t help myself from spicing things up with something a little different.

Your Cheat Sheet for the Perfect Vinaigrette

The first time I ever asked a chef to divulge a secret recipe, it was for a salad dressing. My parents had taken me out to a fancier-than-usual dinner to celebrate my 16th birthday, and we all fell in love with the house salad — which was surprising, since it was really just a simple mix of field […]

This Salad Has Everything That’s Great About Summer

Summer is definitely my favorite time of year: beach trips and endless hours spent outside are just a couple of the reasons I wish the season could last forever.  Another thing that makes summer summer is the bounty at the farmers market, which I frequent at least once a week. I cannot get enough! Right now is the best […]

Raw Corn Summer Salad

From Bonni: “I love this raw corn summer salad because it is so refreshing! Feel free to add whatever seasonal veggies are available. You can certainly make this ahead of time and keep refrigerated, but I suggest adding the okra right before you serve because it can get slimy.” Read the full story here: Entertaining With […]

Mango & Coconut Soba Noodle Salad

I’ve made some version of this soba noodle and mango salad for the past few summers and, without fail, people go nuts over it. Full of thai flavors like lime, peanuts and a profusion of herbs, it’s really the crunchy coconut throughout the salad that takes it over the top and makes people stop and say, […]
