Fried Pickle Salad
This has been my hyper-fixation meal of late. This delicious salad starts with a hearty mix of shredded cabbage and massaged kale, making it ideal for meal prep. It’s topped with shredded rotisserie chicken, radish sticks, and sliced cherry tomatoes, then drizzled with a creamy homemade ranch packed with fresh herbs and plenty of garlic. This satisfying salad always hits the spot and comes together quickly, as long as your ingredients are prepped ahead of time.
Pea Shoot Salad with Fish Sauce Dressing
In the second installment of Demystified: Fish Sauce, we’re going to use it in a salad dressing over pea shoots. This season, pea shoots are at their prime, harvested before the peas fully develop, offering a delicate flavor and texture. You can easily find them at Asian markets or local farmer's markets.
Thai Grilled Chicken Salad
Spice levels are not for the faint of heart on this one. While the Thai chilies can be left out of the dressing, nothing beats a cold, dreary day like this Thai Chicken Salad.
Puntarelle Caesar
It’s chicory season! Chicories are bitter lettuces that can stand up to strong dressings, like Caesar. Enjoy it’s bitterness followed by a sweet crunch.
Orange Brown Butter Vinaigrette
A sweet and nutty salad dressing that is a great way to make a fortifying salad for lunch or dinner. It’s the perfect way to brighten up a cold winter day. I love using hearty greens like radicchio or kale which have a slice bitter taste.
