Mâche Salad with Fennel and Seckel Pears
I rarely use bottled salad dressing. Sure, I have two bottles hanging out in my fridge, jammed in the corner behind the stuff I actually use, untouched. The truth is, I prefer to make my own salad dressings, because I easily tire of the same tastes over and over again. So I make something different … Continue reading
Provence Salad
This is as simple as it gets, friends! A tangy, herby vinaigrette drizzled on top of a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, nicoise (nee-SWAHZ) olives, and jalapeno fontina cheese. So what’s Provence about it? With the addition of herbes de Provence into my red wine-balsamic vinaigrette, combined with nicoise olives that hail from Provence, voila! … Continue reading
Creamy, Crunchy Coleslaw
More often than not, coleslaw can easily end up being one-dimensional in flavor, and too fatty and heavy on the dressing (really, would you like cabbage with your mayo? I think not). I personally like it when a light, somewhat acidic dressing complements the cabbage. The addition of cilantro works well here, too, but you … Continue reading
Edamame Salad with Miso-Honey Dressing
This is a recipe I developed that has been featured in the Summer 2009 issue of the ADA (American Dietetic Association) Times. The highlight of the “Love Food” section this summer was soybeans. I decided to make a salad that showcased not only soybeans in its whole form that most people are familiar with, but … Continue reading

Green with Envy Salad
I would call myself a heavy consumer of produce. Yep. My hubby and I can attack a whole head of lettuce (okay, maybe just half), as long as it isn’t filled with the typical, boring salad constituents like iceberg, pale tomatoes, and onion. Ugh – how is that even legal? I think the best salad … Continue reading
Mom’s chicken salad for a tired girl
I am thoroughly, utterly exhausted. The past two weeks of vacation were nonstop go-go-go, and though it was all fun and time well-spent, we are, to say the least, spent. Phong and I flew back to Hawaii Sunday night, landed around 10pm, and then proceeded to wake up early the next morning to go to … Continue reading
Miso lovely
I recently had a craving for miso salad dressing and wanted to whip one up myself. So, I run to the grocery store…no miso. Go to another grocery store…no miso. That dream of having miso salad dressing a few weeks ago then had to be succumbed to boring salad. But recently, I saw this in … Continue reading
