Fennel and Apple Salad

February 14, 2010

If you’re like me, the snow isn’t the only thing that’s making you crawl the walls a bit this February. White stuff or not, it’s pretty hard to find a good lookin’ salad in these parts. Restaurants are peddling beets and potatoes with a very erstwhile passion, with nary a leaf in sight. [...]

Lynn Rossetto Kasper’s Thai Cabbage Salad with Cashews and Chili-Coconut Dressing

January 22, 2010

Not everyday is as productive as last Friday. In about 2 hours, I made a fantastic salad, discovered a new cooking technique, and finally learned how to achieve that elusive sweet-salty-tangy-spicy balance in a Thai vinaigrette. It’s all thanks to Lynn Rossetto Kasper. As if I’m surprised.
I am a huge fan of Lynn Rossetto [...]

Smoky Corn Salad

August 30, 2009

So sorry that posts have been so few and far between (and so short) lately. I’m doing my best to offer some great summer suggestions between work and work — bear with me; just two more weeks of this insanity, and I’ll be back on track.
Meanwhile, hopefully you’re taking advantage of the last of summer’s [...]

Pesto Streudel and Panzanella Salad

June 17, 2009

Now that it’s summer, my counters are teeming with beautiful red tomatoes and my fridge is packed with brightly-colored produce of all sorts: radishes, favas, beets, strawberries, you name it. It’s a welcome change from the endless supply of potatoes, yams, potatoes, and kale, oh, the kale. Thank goodness I’ve got some red [...]

Avocado Tomato Salad

June 13, 2009

It’d be a shame to spend too much of this day indoors, because it’s beautiful outside and I have an all-day pool pass — so I’m going to keep this short: It’s summer, people! That means I’m barely to be seen at the grocery store, stocking up on fruit and veggies almost exclusively [...]

This is another installment of my “weekday lunch” series, where I offer suggestions for dishes that can hang out in your tupperware til 12:30 rolls around. For other weekday lunch options, see my weekday lunch archive page.
Here’s a super-easy salad that holds up very well in the tupperware container. It came together late one [...]

Strawberry Avocado Salad

April 6, 2009

Not exactly a recipe, but this was a part of my Sunday morning breakfast last week and I couldn’t resist sharing it. It’s a sign of the warmer days that are (I hope!) just around the corner, and it’s a healthy and filling alternative to my usual morning grind. It’s also dead simple [...]

Edamame Cabbage Slaw with Sweet Potatoes

February 14, 2009

Hello from vacationland! We’re in Israel for the next few days and beyond thrilled to be back. It’s been way, way too long — almost two years since I lived here. I’ve missed every bit of it. Yesterday, I spent the most lovely afternoon at the shuk (market) with my dear dear [...]
