Zucchini and Chickpea Salad

Celebrate the summer with this grilling zucchini and chickpea salad! To contrast the tenderness of grilled zucchini, I have used crunchy roasted chickpeas. The smokiness of the grilled zucchini also pairs nicely with the salsa made out of cherry tomatoes, shallots and herbs. Use this salad as your main meal, or pair it with grilled meats!

Radish and Basil Compound Butter

I grew up eating my grandmother’s fresh baked bread, smeared with salted butter and slices of crispy radishes. Using that as inspiration, I created this Radish and Basil Compound Butter that is so simple to make and quite beautiful with the pink and green flecks. Whether served on light as air bread, crackers or a perfectly seared steak, it adds something special.

Sugar Snap Pea Salad

Sugar Snap Pea Salad

In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it’s ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can’t find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can’t get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don’t combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.
