Creamy Buckwheat, Fava Bean and Sun Dried Tomato Salad
You read that right: I’m serving fava beans… again! I think I’m getting seriously hooked on these! I guess they would be in season now, for they’ve been going for a mere handful of pennies a pound at my local Ethnic Food Market.
Papaya, Chickpea and Feta Salad | Five Euro Food
~25 minutes ~550 per serving G reetings folks – it’s Sunday, and while for many of us that does mean it’s just one day of blissful weekend left before returning to work on Monday, I’m not going to think about that right now. Oh no, for it’s a brand new day – time to sit on the balcony and stuff yourself with pancakes topped with a big blob of butter and… is that raspberry jam? Oops, seems that someone forgot to buy the maple syrup – well, never mind – a wonderful pot of coffee and a stack of pancakes and a day of nothingness ahead of me – what could be better? The weather seems to have taken a turn for the HOT and all urges of turning on the oven or stove have fled from my mind.
Grapefruit and Fennel Salad
When I lived in Montreal, I hosted monthly dinner parties to fundraise for my volunteer trip in the Philippines, it was a great opportunity to feed my friends (one party had more than 30 dinner guests!), though I really had an ulterior motive: to tackle the never-ending list of recipes I had collected. I’m the type to try out new recipes and techniques, I don’t usually repeat the same dish twice unless it’s a real game changer, but when your friends start requesting for the same thing, you know you’ve got a keeper. I give you: fennel and apple salad (See? Only two ingredients are needed, keeper right?). Thinly sliced fennel tossed with equally thin sliced apples dressed in a vinaigrette is enough to woo your diners.“Do you like kin-oh-ah?” my mom asked the other day while on the phone. I replied snidely kindly. I confess, it’s hard to pronounce. I’m pretty sure I said it wrong the first 20 times. After giving her a hard time, I said, .

Thai Corn Salad | sel et sucre
As we move into summer, I just don’t have the patience to spend a long time next to a hot stove or hot oven to cook. And I certainly don’t feel like eating anything too heavy or rich. So this easy Thai corn salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side to a lazy summer dinner. A dressing of fresh Thai basil and cilantro along with lime, honey, and ginger perfectly complements the sweet corn that will soon flood our markets and makes this a lot more exciting than your usual corn salad. And since the salad tastes great cold, at room temperature, or even a little warm (and there’s no dairy to spoil), this is the perfect dish to bring along to a picnic. It only takes about fifteen minutes to throw together (or maybe a little bit longer if you use cooked corn rather than raw – I recommend grilling if you’re going to cook the corn), so you’ll still have a lot of time to get out and enjoy yourself.
I have a confession to make… I am not a salad eater. I know I should be. I know it’s “good for” me.

Honey Roasted Carrot Salad
Years ago, I’ve tried some honey roasted carrots at a restaurant. I believe it was from a buffet restaurant when my Hubby and I visited Las Vegas. Those honey roasted carrots were amazing. Perfectly sweet and got a hint of the caramelized aroma from the honey along with the freshness from the carrot.
Asian Chicken Salad
One of my strengths as a teacher is the impromptu game. And since you asked, one such game that I often pull out of my back pocket is called Password. Here are the rules: you get one word clues that will help you guess the “password”. I think I might have stolen that from a real game, but I’m still considering it mine, and impromptu, especially since I’m going to make impromptu use of it right now.Have you ever had that Cedar Point’s Chickpea Salad? It’s found by the hummus and like. Well, I did for the first time the other day and was shocked at how delicious I thought it was! Chocked full of nutrients and a great sweet/savory/sour flavor combination, I was pretty impressed.
Chickpea Salad
Summer breezes really do make me feel fine. Maybe that’s a bit hokey, but it’s completely true. The celebration of Queen Victoria’s birthday translates to a long weekend, big time summer kickoff around here. Families will go up north to the cottages for the first time this year, barbecues in backyards are prevalent, hikes, fireworks, cold patio beers and other libations abound, commemorative mugs with pictures of the Queen adorn the gift shop windows in my town; happy feelings. The warmth, sun, singing birds and lovely breezes draw us all outdoors, ready to enjoy each other’s company and stay in that precious light, later and later into the evening.

Honey-Sweetened Cucumber Salad
If you are growing cucumbers in your garden this summer, this is a great side dish to use them in! I found a recipe at Our Best Bites that I modified a little…I used honey instead of sugar as a sweetener, used a little less salt, and used white wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar. I thought using honey in this cucumber salad worked out great! I’m trying to use honey instead of granulated sugar when I can because it’s healthier, and this seemed like a great recipe to try it in. The honey gives this salad a yummy sweetness, and there’s a little zing and spice from some diced red onion and red pepper flakes. Sweet and spicy…I love that combination in this salad!Healthy Greek Pasta Salad Recipe — A Food Centric Life
The fresh air off the Pacific Ocean cleared not only our lungs but also our heads. Camped on a grassy hill above a sandy beach, glass of wine in hand, we relaxed and watched the waves roll in. That was Friday evening as we joined friends for a picnic dinner. I packed this healthy Greek pasta salad to share. A friend invited us to join her and her husband in their new Friday evening ritual – a picnic dinner overlooking the ocean.So if you saw my Mother’s Day post yesterday, I mentioned this amazing salad. This is one of my new favourites and it was really easy to make. You can make the dressing days, or weeks in advanced.
