    Salads and Salad Dressings

    Strawberry Cucumber Salad

    May 4, 2023 by Lindsay 9 Comments

    Delicious, easy strawberry cucumber salad with quick pickled onions! This is one of my favorite summer side dishes: it's vegan, gluten free, and makes the MOST of in-season produce! I love this with fresh dill, but it's also really nice with mint and basil. Use any herbs you have on hand! Make it a meal with 3-ingredient grilled chicken marinade and loaded potato salad.

    Ok, real talk about fruit in salads: this is a polarizing topic, amirite? Very on trend for the times, I suppose.

    I don't exactly get it why people care so much, but, as for me, I'm team sweet/savory at all times, which makes this simple cucumber and strawberry salad the absolute perfect summer salad, in my mind.

    Garlic Butter Croutons

    February 15, 2023 by Lindsay 6 Comments

    The absolute best recipe with leftover bread - homemade garlic butter croutons! These taste just like restaurant style garlic bread made into croutons and are absolutely delicious on top of any salad. I love making these with leftover no-knead bread and serving them on kale salad for a quick lunch.

    Croutons are....the best part of a salad, if they're good. I recently saw a meme that said something like "I love eating a salad because it's like a treasure hunt for foods you actually want to be eating," and kind of .... yes, when it comes to croutons.

    I love a really, really good salad, but the bread's where it's AT.

    Homemade croutons are seriously simple to make, and a great use-up of leftover bread or stale bread from other meals. I often cube leftover bread and store it in the freezer, then make small batches of these garlic bread croutons whenever I'm making big salads.

    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 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. 

    cooked grilled shrimp on grill pan with lemon slices

    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.
