The pomegranate seeds fooled him. “It’s dessert,” he said. “I’ll eat it last.” It’s onions,” I said. “Onion salad, try it now.” He waited. He ate onion salad for dessert. I like it with rice. As a side for dumplings or grilled shrimp. Not dessert. Salting the onions and allowing them to sweat it out […]
Mizuna Citrus Salad w/ avocado and jicama A simple refreshing salad, lightly dressed, and studded with tropical flavors and textures. Do you remember when there were only three brands of tequila and three kinds of greens? Now I can barely keep up. Yes kids ,there was a time when Patron and Arugula were considered fancy/exotic/unusual. […]
Crisp bacon and beautiful, delicately peppery arugula blossoms take this herb studded rendition of classic potato salad over the top. Mayo optional.

Vegan Chickpea Salad with roasted onion and dill cream- a delicious and refreshing warm weather salad with sweet onion cream and the bright clean flavor of fresh dill. Bonus points for being vegan and nut free without even trying. This onion cream sauce popped up in my twitter feed last week and I was intrigued. As […]
Tart lemons and crisp garden fresh kale tempered by a generous portion of cool creamy avocados and salty grated Parmesan make this simple salad startlingly good. Good enough to share.

This riff on the classic Caesar has zing and crunch and a hundred shades of green. The crispy collard greens are snackable on their own but I love the […]
Peppery arugula (or rocket, if you prefer) greens lightly tossed with a festive, tangy cranberry pomegranate vinaigrette. Temper with savory, crunchy croutons and my favorite hard cheese- Pecorino Romano. Add a side of cured salami and this salad is dressed to impress. It’s Christmas Eve and I’m teetering on the edge of having some holiday […]
Kicking it old school today. I’ve had Pomegranate Molasses on the brain and tongue and an occasional fingerprint on a cabinet door (it’s sticky stuff). All this thinking about pomegranate molasses got me nostalgic for the salad wherein I learned to like beets
