Thai Beef Salad with Cara Cara Oranges & Chili Lime Vinaigrette

January 15, 2019 2 Comments

Listen, I get it, the Internet needs another Thai Beef Salad recipe like I need another labneh post, but I don’t care, it’s just the rebel in me. I wanted to share this recipe with you because I love it deeply, passionately, obsessively. Also, it’s kind of healthy and there’s still a lot of January to get through and, let’s face it, I ’m not swimming in healthy recipe ideas. My brain is generally awash with fried chicken and the like. So, although you don’t need it, although you didn’t ask for it, I’m going to give you MY recipe for Thai Beef Salad and you’re going to sit there and take it…or just click away. Don’t click away.

Smashed Cucumber Salad w/ Chicken Satay & Red Curry Peanut Sauce

January 2, 2019 No Comments

Today’s Smashed Cucumber Salad with Chicken Satay and Red Curry Peanut Sauce will be my first recipe of 2019 and I’m thrilled. Believe it or not, salad paired with a simple protein is what I eat 90% of the time. It’s the type of meal that fills me up but leaves me feeling light. The antidote to weeks of gravy, stuffing and all manner of chocolate. This is not a resolution-oriented recipe per se, because, let’s face it, that red curry peanut sauce is not devoid of calories. No, this Smashed Cucumber Salad is what I would call enlivening. It’s spicy, crunchy, refreshing and full of umami. It’s a different kind of comfort food for a different kind of comfort. And, if like me, you had a bit too much cheer this holiday season, this salad is exactly what your body is asking for.

You’ll have to forgive me if this entry is a touch distracted. I’m currently residing on cloud nine and I guess the air is thin up here because it’s hard to think straight. And why have I relocated to a such a lofty height? Well, on Monday night I received the gold award for General (English-Language) Food Blogs at the Taste Canada Awards Gala and my feet haven’t touched the ground since. I was *very* surprised and no, I don’t remember what I said in my speech but I’m sure it made very little sense. But enough about my insane 48 hours, that’s not why you’re here. Let’s talk about this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Radish Pickled Eggs & Garlic Tahini Dressing.

This Pesto Barley Salad looks really healthy, right? Balanced, vibrant, and potentially packed with a good stack of vitamins. It looks that way because it is! I know this is a shock, especially after I warned you things were going to get dangerously decadent from now until New Years. Don’t go thinking I’ve gone back on my word. I have recipes planned that will rob you of every last reserve of willpower you have. But not today. Today, I bring you a salad because we are in the midst of that blissful gap between Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween. So, let’s give a few vegetables a whirl. You know, just to say we did.
