This is my version of Smitten Kitchen’s Crispy Cabbage and Cauliflower Salad recipe. I used napa cabbage instead of savoy, I squeezed more veggies onto the sheet pan (including onions in the mix), and I slightly adjusted the dressing amounts/ingredients. I also added cashews in at the end, which really rounds out the dish with a flavor and texture that I love.
Salmon and Quinoa Salad With Cucumber-Feta Dressing
Recipe slightly adapted from a NY Times recipe for Salmon and Couscous Salad With Cucumber-Feta Dressing. The addition of avocado is completely unnecessary given the amount of fat already in this dish, I just love avocado.
Chickpea Cakes
Easy, flavorful, protein-packed dish that can be served any time of day as a meal, side dish, or snack.
Broiled Salmon with Sesame Herb Arugula Salad
This dish is lovely served atop a bed of white rice and/or alongside some sauteed mushrooms and greens.
Teryaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Super easy, super flavorful, protein-packed meal that’s on the lunch menu at our house on a regular basis.
Poached Halibut with Spicy Strawberry Salsa, Snow Peas, and Polenta
Thanks to Red Fire Farm for providing their CSA members with PYO strawberries and peas this time of year.
Asparagus Salad with Avocado Dressing
This is my absolute favorite spring salad. The asparagus rules, but the avocado is really the star of the show.
Chicken, Fennel, and Grapefruit Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The grapefruit fennel combo is so lovely, especially with the saltiness of feta, but the feta can be omitted for those who prefer no dairy.
Chicken with Lemon and Herbs Over Spaghetti Squash
A fast, easy, pasta-esque dish (without the grains) that includes some of my favorite flavors—lemon, capers, parsley, thyme, leeks, red onions, and spinach.
Garlic Lime Shrimp with Cauliflower Puree
It’s not quite shrimp n grits, but the tangy shrimp pairs with the creamy cauliflower in a similar, delicious fashion.
