Fresh and crunchy edamame, snap peas, cucumber and sesame seeds tossed in a rice vinegar and soy sauce dressing! The best part? Its super healthy and takes about ten minutes to make! What I love about this edamame salad is that while it’s great served alongside a main dish like grilled meat or fish, it…
Vegetarian
Pan con Tomate
The summer before my senior year of high school I conned my parents into sending me to Spain for a Spanish language immersion program. The experience was one I’ll never forget! Spanish people know how to live! They have the best taste in music, dancing, food, and wine. Not to mention; I could really behind…
Tagliatelle with Pea Pesto and Creme Fraiche
This light and fresh tagliatelle with lemony pea pesto is so easy to make! The best part? You probably already have most of these ingredients on hand. Frozen peas are one of my favorite things to keep in the freezer. That being said if you’re making this recipe in the spring when fresh peas are…
Roasted Baby Turnips with Garlic and Za’atar
Have you tried Za’atar before? Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend of marjoram, sumac, oregano, thyme, and sesame. I love to use it to marinate chicken, sprinkle on flatbread or in this case roast vegetables! I love to use baby turnips and leave the tops on, they get so crispy and toasty, almost like…
Green Panzanella with Snap Peas + Avocado
Alternate recipe title: “Avocado Toast Salad.” No, seriously though this salad is everything. I’m sure I’ve said this before but salads are just better with a little bread and cheese in them, right? That’s where this green Panzanella with spring peas and avocado comes in! I used to overlook sugar snap peas in the past…
Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad
On hot Los Angeles summer days when the temperature rises above 80, the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven. That’s why I love this Vietnamese rice noodle salad! Everything about this recipe is cool and refreshing. Cold rice noodles, crisp veggies, and fresh herbs tossed with a sweet and sour…
Tomato Galette with Whipped Goat Cheese
Crisp pastry wrapped around roasted tomatoes and topped with tangy goat cheese. This roasted heirloom tomato tart is the perfect summer appetizer. While I don’t typically condone the use of store-bought pie crust, this recipe will totally work with one.
Miso-Tahini Soba Noodles
Miso-Tahini Soba Noodles make for the perfect chilled summer dinner! I love serving this chilled miso-tahini soba noodles with roasted salmon and sauteed broccolini with ginger and garlic. The dressing is super versatile and can be tossed with kale for a creamy, umami-rich salad or even as a dip for raw or roasted veggies. While you’re…
Snap Pea and Burrata Salad
You guys! You have to try this incredible salad. It’s so delicious. Seriously, make this for your friends and family and they will be blown away! Snap peas come into season in the spring. They are crunchy and sweet and begging to be tossed with olive oil, lemon, and salt. The richness of the burrata…
Everyday Dinner Salad
This simple salad is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. The caper-cornichon vinaigrette is inspired by one of my favorite LA restaurants: Republique. They serve it alongside their croque-madame, and it’s honestly one of my favorite dishes in the whole city. I have a weird tradition of going there on a rainy day and sitting…
