Shrimp Panzanella Salad

Posted on September 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

Shrimp Panzanella Salad by Alison's AllspiceAbout 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

Italian Tomato Panzanella Salad by Alison's AllspicePanzanella 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 →

Asian Noodle Stir Fry Salad

Posted on June 17, 2023 | Leave a comment

Asian Noodle Stir Fry Salad by Alison's AllspiceDuring 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.

Miso Glazed Salmon Burgers

Posted on April 16, 2023 | Leave a comment

Miso Glazed Salmon Burgers by Alison's AllspiceIf you love to make glazed salmon, then you will love these miso glazed salmon burgers.  The glaze could easily be used on salmon fillets, but sometimes I am just craving a burger.  These burgers are juicy and full of umami.

Topping these burgers with lettuce and tomato just would not do for me. I chose to top my burgers with cucumber slices and alfalfa sprouts. Continue reading →

Smoked Tofu Summer Rolls

Posted on August 6, 2022 | Leave a comment

Smoked Tofu Summer Rolls by Alison's AllspiceI can’t believe how fast the summer has gone, school starts in only a few weeks! I had to share these smoked tofu summer rolls before summer is over.  They are a fresh, light meal that can be easily made without heating up your kitchen!

I like to use the smoked tofu in my summer rolls because it is already cooked.  You could probably use “raw” tofu straight out of the package, but the smoked tofu has better texture and it adds more flavor. Continue reading →

Imitation Crab Sushi Bowls

Posted on May 7, 2022 | Leave a comment

Imitation Crab Sushi Bowls by Alison's AllspiceThe first time I tried to make sushi with short grained brown rice, the rolls completely fell apart.  I ended up eating the recipe as a sushi bowl, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, so I developed this imitation crab sushi bowls recipe.

I really love sushi rolls, and I do make them at home.  You can see an oooold sushi recipe post here.  One of the first on the blog, I had so much to learn back then! Continue reading →

Fried Chickpea Gyro Salad

Posted on April 30, 2022 | Leave a comment

Fried Chickpea Gyro Salad by Alison's AllspiceWhen I first stared to eat more plant-based meals, I can across a recipe (now long lost) that marindaded and fried chickpeas.  It is such a simple process that completely transforms the humble chickpea.  Here I use a gyro inspired marinade to make fried chickpea gyro salad.

I have posted a very similar recipe before, my fried chickpea gyro bowls, made with a base of rice, chopped vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.  While I love grain bowls, I was craving a salad this time, so I adapted the recipe. Continue reading →

Greek Chickpea Salad

Greek Chickpea Salad by Alison's AllspiceFriends, it has been a very busy summer for me, and I hope you all have a summer full of great recipes so far. This recipe, Greek chickpea salad, is one that I have been eating a lot this summer.

This salad is very easy to make.  It requires a little bit of time to chop all the vegetables, but it is totally worth it.  The flavor of all the vegetables go together perfectly, and the dressing is the icing on the cake! Continue reading →

Tzatziki Pasta Salad with Chickpeas

Posted on October 10, 2020 | 3 comments

Tzatziki Pasta Salad with Chickpeas by Alison's AllspiceIf you are like me, you still have some summer garden produce lingering that needs to be used.  Even though it is October, I still have garden cucumbers and tomatoes that are delicious in this tzatziki pasta salad with chickpeas.

Has anyone else had a busy fall?  I feel like I am so far behind on all my projects, including blog posts.  I had extra time at the end of summer to photograph some delicious recipes, and now they are finally making it onto the blog when the produce is almost out of season.  Better late than never I suppose.

Korean BBQ Tempeh Wraps

Posted on August 10, 2019 | Leave a comment

Korean BBQ Tempeh Wraps by Alison's AllspiceHave you tried Korean BBQ, or gochujang sauce yet? In these Korean BBQ tempeh wraps, the spicy gochujang is balanced by cool cucumber and creamy mayo.

Gochujang sauce is spicy, which is one reason I love it.  If you (or a member of your family) don’t like spicy, try using regular BBQ sauce in the skillet and personalize each wrap with spicy Korean or sweet American BBQ sauce. Continue reading →
