Greek Quinoa Chop Salad
Yummy alert! This simple Greek Quinoa Chop Salad is a meal. Sure you can serve it as a side dish which I did a few days ago at Sherie and Michael’s BBQ. But in reality, this salad can hold its own as a main dish. How’s that you ask? Where’s the meat? Well, here’s the […]
Chicken and Kale Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
Have you seen it before?—baby kale leaves. I stumbled on a package of baby kale in the store the other day and knew it would be perfect for this delicious Chicken and Kale Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing. This just might be my most favorite kale salad ever. The original recipe is adaptation from a Sunset magazine salad where […]
Warm Spinach Salad with Apples and Feta Dressing
Gosh, I love warm spinach salads. How about you? This warm spinach salad is super-duper easy to make and a great side dish to any meat entrée. Mr. E and I already made it twice this month and I’m making it one more time for you! Knowing it was going to be one of those […]
Summer Couscous Salad
Growing up in the Midwest, we simply didn’t eat a lot of grains other than white rice. No couscous salad in sight. Just meat, potatoes and lots of seasonal veggies were our main staples (along with a whole lot of Pepsi to wash it all down). So, it’s been fun over the last couple of […]
Greek-Style Bulgur and Garbonzo Bean Salad
Last year my son Ryan asked me what to do with bulgur wheat. He had purchased a 5- pound bag of bulgur wheat at a local farmers market near his college campus in Santa Cruz and he didn’t know what to do with it. He just needed a little inspiration. All I have to say […]
Lentils, Black Beans, Cilantro – Oh, Yes!
I guess I’m stuck on salads lately – I promise to diversify soon, but you can obviously see I’m excited for summer to get here. Even though we get a lot of fresh produce in Boise year-round, the warm weather gets me fired up to put in a garden and start hitting our local weekend markets. […]
Spinach & Marinated Mushroom Salad
As a very young girl, one of the greatest lessons I learned was to work hard and to be open to trying as many things as possible. As I got older, I made it a point to never be afraid to say “yes” to a volunteer or professional opportunity—even if I didn’t know what the […]
The Fresh 20 Inspired Hummus Tortilla Melt
This is the first of my “Fresh 20” (www.thefresh20.com) inspired recipes and the second time in my life I’ve eaten hummus, except this time I actually liked it. I think the other hummus “incident” occurred when I was with a Heidi few years ago and she suggested I choke it down with some carrots. Just […]
Grilled Corn Salad with Vinaigrette
Early April is exciting for this Iowa girl now living in Idaho because we start to get some decent corn-on-the-cob options in our local grocery store. Although, shipped in from California and not the same as fresh off the stalk Midwestern deliciousness – it’s not too bad. Combined with some very fine organic California avocados, […]
