The weather in NY has finally found its feet, and for the past few days it has been beautiful. Great news for those that like to grill. But don’t forget your salads folks, make sure they are as tasty as your meat and fish dishes. Just like today’s recipe, buttered corn salad. This is a medley of corn, lettuce and tomatoes brought together with scallion, mint, lemon juice, butter and olive oil. It’s so tasty
I like a layered salad bursting with flavors, don’t you? If yes, you’ll love this kale pomegranate goat cheese salad. The ingredients are obvious, kale, pomegranate and goat cheese, with a generous dousing of balsamic mustard dressing, finished off with candied walnuts.
The changeable spring weather here in New York often has one wishing for something light while still yearning for something comforting. I have the perfect salad for those moments – duck and watermelon salad. It’s a beautiful display of ingredients that are also perfectly yummy.
Sweet and spicy coleslaw is a quick and easy salad that goes with so many meals. You can use any variety of the usual coleslaw ingredients if you like, but I used napa cabbage and radicchio. A great combination of flavors and gives great eye appeal.
I always appreciate a good salad, and I’m sure you do too. Today’s orange Cointreau salad will evoke more than appreciation though. Let me tell you, this salad should be heralded. It’s simple, sexy, and sensationally tasty.
The holiday season is full of high salt, high fat dishes, that applies girth and weight. Now, I’m not complaining, nor do I suggest you dispense with your favorite dishes. But if you are interested in adding something with minimal fat, but still packs a very tasty punch, try my curried turkey endive salad bites. They are delicious.
When I make a salad to be enjoyed as a main course, rather than an accompaniment to a meal, I like my salad to be hearty. I use vegetables that need much mastication, high on the chew-worthy scale. Which, of course, can take time to eat, but above all is really tasty. Today’s recipe, honey mustard pork summer salad, is just that.
Good fresh tomatoes can stand on their own. Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting you have a tomato for dinner, but how about this simple triple tomato salad as the accompaniment to a tasty protein. I really love tomatoes, beefsteak, cherry, grape, heirloom, so long as they are fresh and tasty, I’m in. Imagine this triple tomato salad, with miso marinated salmon or spicy crusted cod, it would be flippin fantastic.
This asparagus beets and goat cheese salad is dynamite. It’s so simple, you just pile the ingredients on top of each other, and serve.
Sometimes the simplest things make for the most enjoyable, and that’s exactly how I would describe these caprese skewers.
