Chive & Walnut Dressing

May 9, 2015

ChiveDressing-3

Life is currently a little chaotic. We are getting our kitchen remodeled, and without a kitchen to play in, I am feeling very lost. Plus, living on takeout food is expensive, boring, and downright unhealthy. I am counting the days until I get to cook and prepare my own food again. We also just got a new puppy, which is adding slightly to the chaos. That said, he is really adorable and alleviates any chaotic stress too. So, this week’s recipe is a super simple dressing. It’s one that can be made in seconds, and can transform a boring green salad into something delicious. Continue Reading…

Mouth-watering Watermelon Salad

July 5, 2011

As this was a sunny Greek inspired dish I thought it only natural to try and capture some sunlight for the picture. As I have a normal nine-to-five job I only get time to do my blog outside office hours, so I have a very small window of opportunity to capture the light. So, I waited and I waited and I waited. By the time a few watery rays of sunshine appeared, I was almost falling down with hunger. When the photos were finally taken, I grabbed the closest available prop and tucked in with gleeful abandon. The evening sun was now warm and bright and had illuminated the entire balcony as I savoured this sweet and salty summer salad. This is my favourite kind of summer snack – light, fruity and fresh with a bite of salty olives and crispy pistachio nuts. Haloumi and Watermelon are a match made in heaven and the honey and lemon dressing really brings out all the flavours. This salad takes only minutes to make and is a perfect after work snack.

Sweet and Spicy Noodle Salad

March 29, 2011

 

 

I often make noodle salads but am sometimes disappointed by boring old soya and ginger dressings. The wagamama cookbook offers some great alternative noodle dressings. This one is definitely my favourite. It’s good hot or cold and the leftovers make a great lunchbox snack. There are a couple of ingredients in this dish that you may not have lying about your cupboard, but it’s worth getting them, as you’ll soon find lots more uses for them. I promise you, if you make this dish you will keep coming back for more. It’s addictive and works great with an ice cold beer. Continue Reading…
