The snap peas add a sweet crunchiness to this salad while the buttermilk in the dressing adds a subtle tartness. Sometimes I’ll add red radishes for added crunch and a little bite, or top the salad with a poached egg and eat it for brunch. 4 oz bag of mixed baby greens 8-10 sugar snap …
Meta, my friend from the Netherlands, shared this recipe with me. If you directly translate “Super Broodjes” from Dutch you get “Mega Buns!” Basically, they’re these delicious salad-stuffed sandwich rolls. It’s a vegetarian dish, not typical Dutch, but delicious! When she was 12, Meta had a dinner party with her friends in Groningen. She made …
My friend Anna, who was born in Finland, shared this traditional Finnish salad with me. Her mom usually makes it for Christmas. She’ll make a big batch, and they’ll eat it over the course of the holiday weekend. Anna says it’s best after a day or two when all the flavors have had a chance …
You could call this salad a couple things. You could call it a “Chicken Caesar with Bacon and Avocado,” since it’s topped with Caesar dressing. Or you could call it a “Cobb Salad” minus the egg, but with Caesar dressing. Or call it what I called it, “Chicken BLT,” since it has chicken, bacon, lettuce, …
So I went backpacking with my sister, Teva, last summer. When we reached the summit we met another backpacker, who told us he had found the source of a stream. He said, “The water is so fresh you don’t even have to filter it!” We did just to be safe. He went around telling everyone. …
When you say “pea soup,” people aren’t exactly jumping in line to get a bowl. I hate split pea and ham soup, especially that smell, which reminds me of a nursing home. Don’t worry. This version is nothing like that. It tastes very fresh. The leeks and ground pepper give it some bite. And while …
The colors of the red beet, ruby grapefruit, and purple blackberries are festive for Valentine’s Day. Plus, they each bring something different to the plate: the beets a soft, savory component, the grapefruit, an acidic, sour element, and the blackberries, a light, sweet flavor. If you think the grapefruit is too sour on its own, …
There are probably a million different butternut squash soup recipes online. This one has a double ginger kick to counteract the sweet flavor of the squash. I made it for a holiday party, and this lady said it was the best Christmas present she received this year. Her husband didn’t seem too happy about the …
Let me start by saying cutting up a raw butternut squash is a little bit dangerous, at least the first cut. The squash is wobbling on the cutting board, and it’s rock solid. It’s nice that you can buy pre-cut squash now, although I still like getting the whole ones and toasting the seeds with …
It’s sort of a deconstructed salad. Or maybe a partially reconstructed one. Every time I hear the word “deconstructed” my mind goes back to CDN 60, the lecture hall at ASU, and I can see my History of Architecture professor standing in front of a slide of a Frank Gehry building, explaining that deconstructivism in …
