I decided to do a healthy take on the traditional mayonnaisey-bacony-cheesy broccoli salad! I prepared my version with beautiful Romanesco, though feel free to substitute for broccoli. The creamy sauce is a blend of (mainly) plain Greek yogurt and mayonnaise, with major flavour additions: fresh garlic, apple cider vinegar and nutritional yeast. SO good! Ingredients:4…

Fennel, Orange & Avocado Salad with White Beans
This salad thoughhh. You need to make it. The key, in my opinion, is loading it up with avocado. The creaminess of the avocado pairs so well with the crunchy fennel and bright flavour of the orange.

Fattoush with Fried Halloumi Cheese
Fattoush! Have you ever heard of or eaten fattoush? It’s a Lebanese salad typically consisting of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, fried pita and plenty of herbs. I think of this salad as a version of panzanella, or Italian bread salad, with it’s fried or baked pita. The primary spice use in fattoush is sumac. Sumac has…
Vegan Sushi Salad
Sushi is one of my favourite options when we go out to eat. I enjoy choosing restaurants or entrees that are exotic or difficult to make at home. Sushi is one of those things! To make it at home requires a fair bit of preparation and specialized tools or ingredients. That being said, I love…
