Finally, a kale salad that is definitely worth writing home about! I will be honest, I had low expectations of this, but it was great, really fun and enjoyable to eat. I think there were 2 key points, how well massaged the kale was and the crunch of the tortilla chips. The big surprise was…

Asiago Crisps for Tomato Salad
I must fess up – I wrote this last September when the last of my tomatoes were coming in. It just did not feel like the ‘right’ time for a tomato salad recipe, so I decided to hold it off til now, when a nice tomato salad would sound quite appealing. Most of the time you…
Fattoush
There is a middle eastern restaurant near my daughter’s university…Ali Baba in Newark, DE. It is one of my favorite places to eat. They have many delicious dishes, but somehow, whenever I go there I have to order the fattoush. Fattoush is a middle eastern bread salad, and I think I am addicted to it….
Baby Spinach Salad with Dates & Almonds
It is time to use two of the ingredients I brought back from Israel: Dates and Almonds. I have been eating both with my breakfast – greek yogurt with almonds and fresh fruit, with a date and a fig on the side. But here was my opportunity to make them the stars at dinner-time… Yotam…
Our Rosh Hashanah Dinner with Israeli Za’atar Salad
I traditionally make my Honey Orange Roast Chicken for Rosh Hashanah, but now that Lauren is a pescatarian, I made poached fish with romesco sauce for our main dish. It was a colorful table, with the brown Date Challah, green and red ‘Never Say Never Again’ Lima Beans, orange romesco sauce, golden honey, and multi-colored Israeli Za’atar Salad. We…

When I was in Turkey, I was eating vegetarian to settle my stomach from having eaten more meat in 1 week in Iran than I usually eat in 2 months. I am not complaining, the food was delicious, but my body had enough meat, so a switch to a vegetarian diet was what I needed….
Spinach Salad with Dates and Almonds
Time to try another recipe from Yotam Ottalenghi’s Jerusalem. I thinned the spinach in my garden so I ended up with some nice baby spinach leaves. When I combined them with spinach Arielle picked at Farmer Kim’s I had enough for a good salad! There are many stars in this salad, but I have to…
Tomato Cucumber Salad – Variations
Nothing says “Summer” to me more than when I start making daily tomato cucumber salads. The other ingredients can vary, but the stars are my cucumbers and heirloom tomatoes. The vegetables are so flavorful in themselves, they need only the most minimal dressing to show off their flavors. Thinking about it makes me smile,…
Lentil Salad with Swiss Chard
This morning I picked the second-to-last large bunch of swiss chard. There are still more bunches, but they are small second-growings of bunches we have already eaten. I am in a bit of a hurry to finish the chard so that my okra plants (which are interplanted with the chard) can get the full light…
