Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomato Couscous Salad
Couscous. Not only is it fun to say but I absolutely love the flavor and texture of this tiny little pasta. Couscous is amazingly light and fluffy and this salad is just that. It’s got a simple and refreshing dressing and the bits of sun dried tomato and lightly sautéed asparagus make this the perfect spring or summer salad. You can serve this dish cold so it’s perfect for a potluck or get together. Enjoy!
Lazy Fried Rice Salad
I call this Lazy Fried Rice Salad because it’s like fried rice only not fried because I was in a hurry to get lunch made and threw the ingredients together to make a chilled salad instead. Or else it’s because I was just feeling lazy and had all the ingredients assembled but didn’t want to get out a pan and make fried rice. Whatever the reason I’m glad I did. I like the chewy texture of the rice with the crunchy freshness of the vegetables and the Tamari Roasted Almonds are like tasty little treasures hidden throughout the salad. Perfect for a fast lunch or side dish at dinner. Go ahead be a little lazy today too but still enjoy a delicious meal.
Parsleyed New Potatoes
I recently read an article in Bon Appetit magazine about the nutritional benefits of parsley. Actually, the article was about a chef with rheumatoid arthritis who has written a cookbook called Hero Food and relates how he found that parsley as well as some other of his favorite foods improved his health. I really love parsley and it got to me wondering why I don’t use it more. Not only does it have anti-inflammatory properties it helps boost the immune system as well. One of my favorite ways of eating potatoes are Parsleyed New Potatoes. I’m definitely going to be adding some parsley to my garden, right beside the potatoes. What a perfect pairing.
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
While I’ve definitely been showing the blueberry some love lately, I’ve actually been going through a phase with other fruits as well. Strawberries, apples, grapes, bananas – I’ve been craving them all. Years ago when my husband and I were on our honeymoon we had brunch at a small little cafe in downtown Waikiki. I had the most amazing french toast but even better was a fruit salsa they served with cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. They used fresh, in season fruits from the island and it was so unbelievably delicious that I licked the bowl clean! So what better way to indulge my fruit craving than with some homemade fruit salsa?
