Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad with Kale

Posted on December 14, 2019 | Leave a comment

Friends, fall semester is finished! That means that I will be whipping up a few extra recipes during break to share with you all. Todays recipe, butternut squash quinoa salad with kale, was inspired by my cucumber dill quinoa salad.

Quinoa salad is a go-to kind of dish because it is fast and easy. In this fall version, roasted butternut squash and kale replace the cucumber and dill I use in spring to make an equally satisfying salad. Continue reading →

Feta and Herb Coleslaw

Posted on September 7, 2019 | Leave a comment

One of the vegetables that I always have in my fridge is red cabbage. It can add crunch and color to almost any dish, even as a simple side like this feta and herb coleslaw.

The sauce is blended up in the food processor, and you simply mix it with sliced cabbage. This is a seriously easy side that takes almost no time or effort. Continue reading →

Cucumber Dill Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas

Posted on June 29, 2019 | 4 comments

This fresh-from-the-garden cucumber dill quinoa salad with chickpeas is light and refreshing, but also filling. The chickpeas and quinoa and loaded with protein to help sustain you all day long.

I love a simple red wine vinaigrette on most of my salads. They are so easy to make and add huge amounts of flavor. Quinoa will soak up the dressing, so if you are making a large batch and plan to have leftovers (say, work lunches), store the dressing separately. Continue reading →

Radish and Corn Wheat Berry Salad

Posted on May 28, 2019 | Leave a comment

For me, radish is one of those mysterious vegetable that I don’t use often. I feel like I don’t know how to use it, so I avoid it. Well, simply put, fresh radish is easy and great in salads. I created this radish and corn wheat berry salad as a challenge to myself to turn radish from mysterious to delicious!

As a kid, I picked fresh radish from the garden with my grandfather. I ate them only because I was involved in the process of digging them up. A radish from the store? My childhood self would have said No way! Continue reading →

Bold Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

Posted on March 15, 2019 | 14 comments

Friends, today let’s talk about blue cheese. I am a huge fan; I love the creamy texture and bold flavor. This bold blue cheese vinaigrette is vinegar and olive oil based instead of the standard creamy dressing. It’s my favorite new way to do salads!

Vinaigrette is my favorite salad dressing, so it’s no wonder why I love this blue cheese vinaigrette. I love the bold flavor of the vinegar, and I use a little more than other blue cheese vinaigrette recipes. My suggestions on changing that, next. Continue reading →

Arugula Wild Rice Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

Posted on February 11, 2019 | Leave a comment

I love to grow arugula in my garden, but the homegrown arugula is much stronger in flavor than the baby arugula you get from the store. I started making this arugula wild rice salad to tame those strong garden fresh flavors!

The wild rice helps to subdue the peppery arugula by bulking up the salad with a mild earthy flavor (which pairs quite nicely). I also add cranberries for sweetness, pecans for crunch and protein, and feta for a salty bite. Continue reading →

Golden Potato and Black Lentil Kale Salad

Posted on December 12, 2018 | Leave a comment

Sometimes, when you try something new, you find a new thing to love. That was me with this recipe, golden potato and black lentil kale salad.

I love kale salads. Kale can be tough, but all you have to do is give it a little massage to soften it right up. I also love black lentils, or beluga lentils, as they have a firm texture and a clean flavor (not earthy like brown lentils). Continue reading →

When I was making this recipe, I was just using up some ingredients from the fridge to make a meal. After I started plating the salad, I realized that it would make a perfect vegetarian main dish for holidays! Continue reading →
