Creamy Walnut Tangerine Dressing
I created this Creamy Walnut Tangerine Dressing recipe after a walnut vendor told me he blended tangerines and walnuts together to use as a salad dressing.
A Dozen Eggs
I burnt an entire pot of eggs today. This is the story.
Cobb Salad
While the origins of a Cobb salad are still up for debate, what goes into one is fairly absolute: tender chicken breast, tangy tomatoes, perfectly hard-boiled egg and, perhaps most important, crispy bacon. This classic version relies on crumbled blue cheese and ripe avocado for creaminess, rather than a cheese or buttermilk-based dressing, making way for a mustardy shallot vinaigrette. The way each of the ingredients is prepared will depend on personal preference: Are you a chunky, chopped salad kind of person? Or do you prefer your lettuce torn and tomatoes sliced? Here, the torn and sliced approach is taken for a more elegant visual, but feel free to make it your own. It also halves nicely if you're cooking for two.
Purslane Salad
Although many cultures are unfamiliar with this weed, Purslane is a staple vegetable in Turkish Cuisine. Stews, salads and mezes are very popular dishes made with purslane. It is very rich in omega 3 fatty acids , vitamin E C and many minerals. A quick salad recipe with those fleshy succulent leaves will make this veg one of your favorites...
Purple Carrot Meze ( Tarator )
This is a traditional carrot meze dish that is very popular, only this time I used purple carrots for the lovely enchanting color..
Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula and Pomegranate
This composed, bright salad of roasted carrots, thinly sliced fennel and arugula gains a fruity depth from a splash of pomegranate molasses in the dressing. You can find pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops, and it’s worth seeking out for its complex, sweet-tart acidity. Once opened, it will last for years in your pantry. This salad makes a delightful side dish or light main course, especially if you include the optional toasted walnuts or pita chips, which add a satisfying crunch. If you can find multicolored carrots, this already striking salad becomes even prettier.
Fava Meze with Purple Carrots
This is a popular Turkish Meze made from just 3 ingredients, dried fava beans, onions and olive oil. Meze is a selection of food served as an appetizer course usually served with Rakı because they are a perfect complement to the aniseed flavours of the traditional drink. Mezes vary across the country creating a vast array of specialities , many with strong regional associations. But it is more than just a starter. It is an experience. In Turkey, eating meze is a social activity; it’s chatting with friends and drinking rakı around the table for hours on end, while sharing spoons of hot and cold mezes, dipping bread into pickled or olive oil dressings, listening to traditional Turkish music . The beauty of this dish is that you can mold it into any shape you desire which result in aspic-like beauties on your table. This time I added purple carrots to give it a more vibrant color since it is usually a grayish light green. Adding fresh boiled broad beans completes the purple canvas. İt is always and always served with dill,( it is a sin to separate the duo ) sliced red onions and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. You can try the original recipe without adding purple carrots. Enjoy!
Spring Salad with Citrus and Roasted Asparagus
As signs of spring approach, the citrus season is almost over, but grilling season steps up the pace. Four ingredients that provide varying textures and flavors combine to offer a refreshing salad that is dressed in lemony goodness. The great thing about this salad is you can use any citrus, and experiment with other roasted vegetables
Mario Batali's Snappy Celery and White Bean Salad
This White Bean Celery Salad recipe is not groundbreaking or experimental. But it’s healthy and available in most bodegas. Serve salad at room temperature.
Roasted Eggplant & Beetroot Salad
This is a quick and easy yet a very delicious dish...
Celeriac Meze with Yogurt & Walnuts
This is another meze dish very quick and easy to make. You can serve it as a side dish or a salad on its own. Celeriac roots are quite often used in Turkish cuisine. I love the earthy flavours of this versatile winter root vegetable cooked or raw.
Oranges with Olive Oil and Chocolate
Choose an olive oil that’s not too mild and buttery, yet not too robust and peppery.

Fennel carrot
Just had some fennel and carrots in the fridge
Farro With Roasted Squash, Feta and Mint
Falling somewhere between a grain bowl and a warm grain salad, this colorful dish is substantial enough to be a meatless main course, or it makes a hearty side dish to simple roasted meat or fish. You can use whatever kind of squash you like here, either peeled or unpeeled. Squash skin is perfectly edible; let anyone who objects cut theirs away at the table (though see if you can get them to try it first). If you don’t have farro, you can substitute brown rice. Just increase the cooking time by about 20 minutes.
Spinach Salad With Pancetta and Fried Eggs
Laced with nuggets of pancetta and crisp-edged fried eggs, there’s a lot going on in this hearty salad, and you need a green that can stand up to it all. With its thick, ruffled leaves and almost mineral flavor, mature spinach (as opposed to those ubiquitous baby leaves) does the job well. If you can’t find it, you can substitute baby spinach, though it will wilt when it makes contact with the hot eggs. Or try kale, which also holds up nicely. Serve this for a light dinner or a hearty brunch with some good bread and olive oil for dipping on the side.
Fig Salad with Smoked Prosciutto and Tomatoes
A prefect end of summer salad !
Apple Salad With Walnuts and Brussels Sprouts
Waldorf salad is definitely in the DNA of this starter from the Publican restaurant in Chicago. Apples and walnuts provide the base, and raw brussels sprouts and kohlrabi take the place of the celery. The dressing, a honeyed vinaigrette made with walnut oil, is lighter than mayonnaise, although the ricotta contributes creaminess. The cured ham on top elevates this to a sophisticated first course, but eliminate it to make the salad vegetarian. Best of all, the salad can be prepared in advance and holds up nicely on a buffet.
Burrata With Romano Beans and Roasted Eggplant
Although burrata is inarguably the star of this stunning summery salad, roasted eggplant, cherry tomatoes and Romano beans add a brilliant mix of colors, textures and flavors to the creamy mozzarella. The eggplant is soft and rich; the tomatoes, juicy and sweet; and the Romano beans, which look like flat, broad green beans, add a nice crunch. Then, to season it all, the vegetables are tossed with a piquant mix of garlic oil, capers, olives and fresh herbs. Serve this as a light meal or a first course, with grilled or toasted country bread, perhaps smeared with a little of the garlic confit left over from making the garlic oil.
Semi-dried tomatoes
Semi-dried tomatoes are softer and moister and therefore a perfect addition to grain salads, pasta, or pizza. For this recipe, you can use any size of tomato.
Chicken Breast Meatball
Perfect as post workout meal or a fun addition to your noodles or salad.
Peach Ricotta Stacks
After eating an eggplant blood orange appetizer at a restaurant, I thought it would be a perfect with peaches! Grilled peaches, fluffy ricotta and seasoned eggplant are the perfect summer salad, appetizer or side dish. Drizzled with an honey sweetened balsamic reduction, this is the perfect way to enjoy your summer eggplants and peaches together. I topped mine with a cherry tomato, but a fresh cherry would be great too!
Vietnamese Tofu Lettuce Wraps
Such a simple, easy & healthy lunch or dinner to throw together in less than 20 minutes
Strawberry Lime Vinaigrette Salad
Gorgonzola cheese is a surprising compliment to the sweetness of the strawberries and the acidity of the lime in this easy and colorful summer salad.
