Snap pea & ricotta salad is one of my go-to summer dinner recipes. It’s fresh and unique, and has enough cheese and nuts to give it enough staying power to call itself a proper meal. The slicing is the only significant labor involved, which is also a big plus.
A simple, tasty, and attractive side dish. These garlic-chili oil Brussels sprouts are nutritious, delicious, and very quick to make!
These mushrooms with black garlic come together in little more than a half hour and have a wonderfully complex flavor profile. Chewy umami and fresh greens, tied together with tangy black garlic and vinegar. Plus cheese and cubes of toast. Did I mention how delicious?
I was only recently introduced to delicata squash, but now I am an ardent fan. These delicata rings are one of my favorite things to do with it so far. The distinctive flavor of rosemary partners nicely with Parmesan cheese and the mellow sweetness of the delicata. As the squash softens in the oven the breading becomes enticingly crispy. Et viola! A tasty finger-food perfect for dipping in the accompanying yogurt sauce. Makes a great side with burgers too.
Hailing from Vietnamese cuisine, salad rolls can include a variety of fillings and make for a delicious and healthy appetizer or light meal. This recipe is more a of a guide–the exact amounts aren’t important, and you can try different filling combinations of your own.

If I’m being honest, I love peanut sauce so much that the rolls themselves are more of a vehicle…
Guacamole dates back to the Aztec Empire, and to this day it continues to make the world a better place. It’s a part of Mexican cuisine and has become part of American cuisine as well. Delicious served with Mexican dishes, or simply eaten on tortilla chips in mass quantities, it’s healthy and super easy to make. You can use this recipe as is, or use it as a base and choose your own add-ins.
