Healthy, easy, and plant-based: what more could you want in a meal? Oh, lots of protein, super foods, and a touch of sweet you say? Not a problem! We got all of that too! Please please make this salad because you will never look at kale and quinoa (the fad super foods of our generation…

Fennel and Orange Salad
Fennel is an under-appreciated food in my humble opinion. I barely ever eat it and practically never cook with it. But it’s sweet like licorice and crunchy and juicy like celery, and absolutely delicious paired with citrus. This salad marries the flavors of fennel, orange, red onion, and salty feta, with a simple vinaigrette to…
Balsamic Watermelon & Blackberry Salad
Summer is the time of bounty!! The time of freshness! The time of health! This salad uses some of the best plants the earth has to offer: watermelon, blackberries, and fresh mint. I highly suggest you make this when blackberries at their peak so they are perfectly sweet + tart and firm. There’s nothing better!…
Chik’n Caesar Salad
My sister-in-law recently sent me a recipe for a vegan Caesar salad from skinnytaste and it was the most beautiful Caesar salad I’ve ever seen! That recipe was a more modern take on the classic favorite, including interesting ingredients like microgreens and chives, but it inspired me to develop my own version of this simple…
Radicchio and Squash Salad
I had never cooked with radicchio before but I saw a similar dish elsewhere and was inspired to make my own! I absolutely love the deep red color and, as you know, I’m really into trying new things. I learned that radicchio is sometimes called Italian Chicory because it is commonly used in Italian cooking….
Orzo Salad with Chickpeas
We had a half empty box of orzo in our cabinet for a couple of weeks (months maybe?). I had bought it as an ingredient for another recipe and didn’t have any other use for it. I decided to get creative and think up ways to use this cute little orzo pasta. A pasta salad…
Greek Salad
Sometimes we’re just craving a great big salad for dinner. Whether it’s because we’ve been eating lots of treats and our bodies are screaming for a vegetable, or if we just want something quick, easy, crisp, and fresh to eat. We’ll often throw together a simple Greek salad (minus the typical feta cheese topping), and…
The Best Vegan Potato Salad
My husband tasted this potato salad and said “this was the best potato salad I’ve ever had”. Can you believe that? I almost fainted! So I’m basking in that praise and rolling with it (as seen by this recipe’s presumptuous title), because I think he’s right! It really was the best potato salad — and…
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
I really wish this one looked as good on camera as it tasted in person! This roasted cauliflower salad is dressed with a maple mustard sauce that is the perfect pairing for all of its salty and sweet flavors. The cauliflower is really just the base to carry the flavors of the salty capers, the…
Summer Pasta Salad
I’ve been on a summer salad kick recently (see here, here, and here). Maybe it’s the dwindling days of the season that are inspiring me to eat all of the delicious foods traditionally associated with summer. It’s gotten a bit cooler in NYC this week and it feels like a bit of a relief, but…
