Shrimp Panzanella Salad

Posted on September 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

About a month ago, I posted a recipe for tomato panzanella salad that I have been so in love with so I wanted to share a pescatarian version as well. This shrimp panzanella salad recipe is not very different, but a little more filling thanks to the addition of some protein.

What makes panzanella salad so great? For me, it’s the bread! A high quality bread is a must and I use a homemade sourdough. In addition, the bread is lightly toasted so that it is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Continue reading →

Italian Tomato Panzanella Salad

Posted on August 17, 2024 | Leave a comment

Panzanella is a rustic Italian style salad that uses stale bread and tomato. From there, many variations to this classic recipe can be found.

When researching this recipe, I found that no two recipes look alike. They all vary based on the bread to tomato ratio, if cheese is used, what other vegetables are used, and even the type of dressing. Continue reading →

Thai-Style Sour Salad with Peaches

Posted on July 27, 2024 | Leave a comment

This week I have another peach recipe for you, but this is no ordinary peach recipe. This Thai-style sour salad is made with peaches, tofu, and green beans. The dressing is amazing; it is sour yet complex in a lick-up-every-drop kind of way.

Most Thai-style salads are made with papaya and are made very (very) spicy. The only spice I included was some red pepper flake to season the tofu, so this salad is pretty mild and fits my midwestern palate well. Continue reading →

Red Curry Chickpea Salad

I have been in love with my homemade curry powder long enough that I have forgotten how flavorful curry paste really is. All the work of building base flavor is done for you so that you can make simple yet delicious meals like this red curry chickpea salad with ease.

I have not tried it, but I’m certain you could still use curry powder to season a delicious chickpea salad. However, I’m hooked on this version with the paste because of the depth of flavor that it brings so easily. Continue reading →

Lemon Parmesan Kale Salad

I have a secret to tell you. I love making bread, and I have been making a lot of sourdough lately. So much that I have to find inventive ways to use it to keep my supply fresh, like topping this lemon parmesan kale salad with toasted sourdough breadcrumbs.

Lemon parmesan is a classic pairing of flavors that cannot be beat. Fresh lemon is bright and refreshing while parmesan is full of rich umami. Adding toasted breadcrumbs takes this simple salad to the next level. Continue reading →

Easy Southwest Chopped Salad

Posted on June 24, 2023 | Leave a comment

I started making this easy southwest chopped salad for lunches last summer and it is still a favorite. Although this salad requires a little chopping, I still consider it easy because I almost always have all the ingredients on hand.

Having a well stocked pantry makes it easy to whip up a good lunch without much pre-thought. I use canned black beans, frozen corn, jarred jalapenos, bagged tortilla chips, hot sauce and bottled ranch. I always have cabbage and onions in the fridge. Therefore the greens are ususally the only thing I need to put on the grocery list! Continue reading →

Asian Noodle Stir Fry Salad

During summer, I don’t like to use the oven or do too much serious cooking that will heat up the house. I eat a ton of salads during summer, but sometimes you just want something a little more substantial, but still light and refreshing. This Asian noodle stir fry salad hits all those points.

Apple Cheddar Kale Salad

Posted on June 3, 2023 | Leave a comment

It is finally here. It’s salad season! I love this time of year because my garden is bursting with fresh lettuce, kale, and arugula. I will eat salad after salad until I grow tired, but that is far from the goal. The goal is finding ways to keep salad interesting, so I share with you this apple cheddar kale salad.

Apple and cheddar are a classic combination of sweet and salty. Pair that with an apple cider vinaigrette to keep things savory and some sunflower seeds for crunch, and you have a winner salad. Continue reading →

Lemony Brussels Sprouts and Cranberry Slaw

Posted on November 19, 2022 | Leave a comment

Is everyone ready for thanksgiving yet? I have my menu planned, but none of the shopping done. This lemony brussels sprouts and cranberry slaw is definitely worth adding to your menu if you need another good vegetable side dish!

One of the best things about this slaw during the busy holidays is that it really benefits from sitting in the dressing for at least 15 minutes before serving. Continue reading →
