This Thai chicken buddha bowl makes a great weeknight dinner. Or you can grill the chicken ahead and serve it cold. Makes a great lunch. The spicy miso grilled chicken adds a bit of Korean spice to the mix.
bun bo xao – vietnamese beef noodle salad
Bun bo xao is a quick weeknight meal. Big tastes of lemongrass, beef, chili and fresh herbs hit all the right flavour notes. It’s the best kind of salad. Everything in balance.
spinach salad with strawberries and poppyseed dressing
Spinach salad with strawberries is sweet, salty, tangy and tart all at the same time. It is truly the taste of early summer.
salade lyonnaise
I love salade lyonnaise. It’s an exercise in simplicity. Nothing more than some greens tossed in a bit of French vinaigrette, a poached egg and some bacon. Doesn’t sound like much. But when the yolk, bacon and greens come together in your mouth… Special.
vietnamese grilled chicken with ginger soy noodle salad
Vietnamese grilled chicken is loaded with big south east Asian flavours. Citrus. Ginger. Chili. And the kiss of smoke. Delicious.
salmon with quinoa salad
My appreciation for quinoa came late. This was one trend I didn’t pay any attention to initially. Quinoa? Ancient grains? Sounds like barley to me. Who cares! That was a mistake. I finally got around to trying it. Hooked. That mildly nutty flavour is a canvas to play with. It’s healthy. It’s tasty. And you can do all kinds of stuff with it. Salmon with quinoa salad is just one way to use it. Not a bad one though, if I do say so myself.
