Avocado BLT Salad with Ranch Onion Rings

May 29, 2021 No Comments

I think it’s time to revoke my status as a salad-hater. I don’t think it’s a true statement anymore. Given the number of salads I’ve recently posted and the several I have waiting in the wings, it’s fair to assume I’m a salad-lover at this point. But I don’t have love for just any salad. A salad must come with a side of naughty to mask a bit of the nice. I’m not proud of this childish approach to eating my greens. But if onion rings can make me feel a touch more enthusiastic about spinach so be it. And this Avocado BLT Salad with Ranch Onion Rings made me very excited about consuming leafy greens and I think it will do the same for you.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Baja Fish Taco. I think it has a lot to do with my fish and chip-heavy upbringing. I just can’t say no to beer-battered anything. Whenever I’m fortunate enough to find myself in a taqueria, I inevitably add a Baja Fish Taco to my order. I just can’t help it. And I would guess, neither can you. The Baja Fish Taco seems to be almost universally loved. But that won’t stop me from fiddling with it. Although to be fair, today’s Baja Fish Taco Salad is just a simple format change. What’s the point of improving upon perfection?

Za’atar Crusted Chicken Thighs with Briny Farro Salad

I’ve always been more of a thigh girl than a breast girl. I love saying this. Not only is it true but it also appeals to my inner five-year-old, whose sense of humor oddly intersects with that of a dirty old man. But thinly-veiled innuendos aside, I am telling the truth. I think chicken thighs are better than chicken breasts. I’m team dark meat all the way. But I still think the breast has a time and a place. I prefer chicken breast with caesar salad or in a club sandwich for instance. And I thought I preferred boob when it came to chicken Milanese, scallopine, and/or parmigiana but these Za’atar Crusted Chicken Thighs have given me pause.

Salt and Pepper Tofu with Mango Salad and Forbidden Rice

Jump to Recipe

I’m not really a salad person. Leafy greens just don’t turn my crank. I prefer to treat the lettuces and kales of the world as accents or companion pieces to something infinitely crunchier, tastier, and definitely not healthier. Give me a salad that is more pasta than vegetable, more cheese than leafy green. Give me a salad with a fried garnish. It’s still technically a salad, it just has more going for it. I do wish I was the kind of person that simply ate for fuel. It would make my late-night-snacking dilemmas a whole lot simpler and a lot less… counterproductive? But that’s just not me. So for me and people like me, there’s this Salt and Pepper Tofu with Mango Salad.
