    Salads and Salad Dressings

    Greek Yogurt Coleslaw with Poppyseed Dressing

    June 10, 2022 by Lindsay 7 Comments

    THE BEST slaw for fish tacos recipe ever! Just 6 ingredients make this creamy, tangy, no mayo coleslaw one that you'll make again and again. I love this over fish tacos with peach salsa and sour cream guacamole, or with a grilled chicken dinner!

    white bowl of poppyseed slaw with Greek yogurt on wooden board with floral napkin.
    white cabbage slaw on brown board.

    Will has started to do this thing where if he is unsatisfied with something I offer for a snack he gives me a texture clue as to what he really wants. So if he wants yogurt it's "I want something smushy," pretzels "I'm thinking of a cwunchy snack," and so on. It's hilarious, and I have no clue where he came up with it.

    BUT, what I'm thrilled he's figured out is this: foods need different textures. So if we're talking about a soft fish taco, some crunchy slaw to top it is exactly the key to wake it up a little bit.

    This particular slaw goes with just about anything: on top of BBQ sandwiches, in fish tacos, as a side dish to grilled chicken with corn on the cob. It's great with any cabbage you like, and the dressing is also delicious on green salads!

    May 23, 2022 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    Ohhhhhhhh long weekend, I am so excited for you.

    We are in a weird busy all the time no time to breathe place. This time last year there was a decided air of "but are we allowed to do anything," and now it's a little....lighter.

    Lighter for us, though, means HERE ARE 15 SCHOOL THINGS YOU NEED TO ATTEND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKDAY. Which is very cute and fun and also very time consuming. #childrenareablessing

    In preparation for whatever you might be doing this weekend, hopefully with lots of relaxation and folks you love, here are my absolute favorite recipes for Memorial Day!

    Tzatziki Sauce

    September 13, 2021 by Lindsay 16 Comments

    This easy homemade tzatziki sauce has just 6 ingredients and can be made in half an hour or less. It's a delicious condiment for crispy chicken cutlets or served as a ranch dressing alternative for dipping veggies! I love having a batch of this in the fridge for parties or quick snacks (or to go nuts with a Mediterranean charcuterie board!).

    Tzatziki sauce is delicious and amazing and versatile. Tzatziki is a traditional Greek/Turkish condiment, and this version uses Greek yogurt as the base. I've had variations with sour cream and even feta cheese, but this is my favorite way to eat it.

    Vegan Potato Salad

    July 27, 2021 by Lindsay 1 Comment

    This vegan potato salad with no mayo is a super easy summer side dish that comes together with just a few ingredients! It tastes just like salt and vinegar potato chips, has tons of fresh herbs, and can be served warm or at room temp. I love it with cast iron skillet salmon for a delicious weeknight dinner, or as a summer potluck side dish offering.

    Hello, hello flavors of middle school chip dreams wrapped up in some adult ingredients.

    LOOK!  It's a no mayo potato salad!

    Listen, I love super fatty, carby side dishes in the summer.  Seriously.  A lot. BUT, I'm also into dishes that can feed a variety of dishes and are light enough that we can Eat All The Things and not feel uncomfortably full.

    Like this vegan potato salad! This is one of those side dishes that goes with ANYTHING all summer, and the flavor combo is riiiight in the middle of salt and vinegar and sour cream and onion potato chips, aka heaven.

    Vegan Tabouli Salad

    July 6, 2021 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    Delicious, easy vegan tabouli salad with marinated chickpeas that is the perfect light lunch! We serve this often as a side dish for grilled chicken or baked tofu, or take it to summer potlucks for a yummy vegan side dish.

    I. Love. Summer.  

    I love the feeling of school being out. I love the heat and humidity, even when I bitch about it. I love the longer days, the smell of gardenias, going to hear music downtown, the whole cliché shebang.  

    I especially LOVE summer-feeling food.  Grilled meat with fresh or raw side dishes, that great mix of healthy and decadent, salads so fresh and crisp that they somehow quench your thirst, you know?  

    This tabouli is one of those salads for our family, and I can't get enough.  My mom used to make picnics of hummus and tabouli and pita long before those things were cool, and bring them to the pool late swim practices in the summer.  She made both with a heavy hand of lemon, one of my favorite flavors for dishes like this.

    This version of tabouli is a teensy bit jazzed up with marinating the chick peas, but that's super hands off and can be done way in advance - the longer in advance the better, actually.  The garbanzos end up creamy but still with texture and so much flavor from the lemon juice, garlic, and crushed red pepper.  I honestly can't even.
