Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean. Although it’s hard for me to play favorites. I threw this together tonight for a potluck. I had planned to make a Sardianian chickpea salad that I had saved the recipe for, but I was in a rush and didn’t want to start up my computer to find it. [...]

This vibrant and delicious dish is great for summer. It’s also mostly raw. There was an original recipe at one time, in an Asian cookbook of my mom’s, but this version is mine. It went over well at a recent potluck – no left overs (but I wished I had some.) 1/2 c orange juice [...]

I love a good, fresh, fruit salad. I like to make it in the morning to have for breakfast, then bring some to the beach (or work) with me, then have some when I get home, then have some after dinner… you get the idea. Since I’m not the only one in my household who [...]
May Salad

This is a pretty basic salad with ingredients taken entirely from the farmer’s market (except the olive oil and mustard.) It’s been too warm this weekend to eat anything but salad really. 1/2 lb of spinach heaping handful chopped parsley 3 tbsp chopped cilantro 1 cucumber, chopped 6 carrots, grated as much feta cheese as [...]

I was scanning through some recipes in a cookbook I compiled last year* and I found this one. Although nasturtiums aren’t quite in season yet, most of the other ingredients have already made appearances at our market, making this a perfect springtime salad. a few handfuls of fresh local spinach a handful of sweet pea [...]
Strawberry and Basil Salad

Strawberries and basil have both reappeared in our farmer’s market! A couple people have been growing them in greenhouses, and they are delicious. So, this morning for breakfast I decided to make a little salad. It’s so simple it hardly qualifies as a recipe, but I am including it because the basil compliments the berries [...]
Honey Balsamic Salad Dressing

I used to make salad dressing a lot, but when my salad eating lapsed a bit, I didn’t bother with dressing at all, or I’d just drizzle a little oil on top. Now that I am making a better effort eat more leaves, I decided to revive an old favorite. We ate this last night [...]
Caesar Salad

You can pair this with grilled chicken or fish, a pasta dish or eat it by itself. It’s a more flavorful/ tangy version than the cream based Caesar dressings in most restaurants. 1 egg yolk anchovy paste, about 1 in. squeezed from the tube 1/4 – 1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese a few big [...]
Apple Veggie Salad with Lemon Garlic Dressing

I’ve never been one for lettuce based salad, particularly the dressing, but I can’t seem to get enough of this one. My roommate introduced me to this pretty basic dressing and I just keep craving it. It’s sweet and sour thanks to the lemon and raw garlic and is very refreshing. Salad: 1 handful chopped [...]
Arousing Coleslaw

Nothing says “God Bless America” like a good pile of coleslaw. I made this onion-less, nut-filled variation on an old favorite to sustain me during work without reeking of raw onions. It turned out pretty dang satisfying. For the Salad 1 head cabbage, shredded 3 carrots, grated 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped 1/2 cup raisins (I use half [...]
