I love cold salads. Macaroni, chicken, coleslaw, potato, pasta, egg, they all call to me and are exactly what I crave when I'm making grilled food over the summer. And while I love a classic creamy potato salad, once I started making this I never looked back. The lemon and... Read More

Brussels Sprout Salad

Sometimes, a dish is so stinkin' simple you don't know how you didn't think of it yourself. For me, vegetable slaws and simple salads are where it's at.

Simple Beet Salad

September 29, 2013September 1, 2016 beets, salad

Beets taste like dirt. I get it. But since when is a little earthiness a bad thing? Especially when it is balanced out by a sweet and tangy dressing, fresh greens, slivered almonds and creamy goat cheese? My beet salad is an homage to Wolfgang Puck's classic beet and goat... Read More

Quick Pickled Onions

I love pickled things. From cucumbers to beets to asparagus, there is something so perfect about a crunchy, salty, vinegary, something.
