Za'atar Roasted Carrot, Cauliflower and Chickpea Bowl with a Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Za'atar Roasted Carrot, Cauliflower and Chickpea Bowl with a Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas are such a good combination of flavors, and when they are roasted in some oil and spices, look out. I combined them with some fresh watercress, chopped avocado, and topped with a quick lemon yogurt sauce, and it was pretty much the best thing we ate all week.

Blood Orange and Avocado Salad with a Citrus Tahini Dressing and Salty Pistachios

Blood Orange and Avocado Salad with a Citrus Tahini Dressing and Salty Pistachios

This salad is a compilation of some of the most vibrant and colorful produce available in the dreary month of February. I figure we might as well take advantage of things that are doing and looking their best right now while we gear up and prepare ourselves for summer berries!

Sweet Corn, Peach, and Cherry Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese and a Lime Dressing

Sweet Corn, Peach, and Cherry Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese and a Lime Dressing

This salad was a result of emptying the fridge and putting all of my favorite 'summer foods' into one place. It's a lighter meal, one to be paired with a nice slice of bread and a glass of wine. At least I can be decisive when it comes to my food.

Spring Salad with White Beans, Avocado, and Radishes + Saveur Nomination

Spring Salad with White Beans, Avocado, and Radishes + Saveur Nomination

In the mean time, I will leave you with my favorite spring salad. It's fresh and colorful and the perfect pop of color for this time of year. I got this crazy awesome mandolin at Christmas, and it slices the radishes into such perfectly beautiful thin strips.

Shaved Brussel Sprout Slaw with Pink Grapefruit and a Maple Cider Vinaigrette

Shaved Brussel Sprout Slaw with Pink Grapefruit and a Maple Cider Vinaigrette

This salad (which is actually more of a slaw than a salad) is chalked full of wonderfully delicious flavors. Brussel sprouts pair wonderfully with dried cranberries and maple. I added some chopped hazelnuts, because they are delicious, and seem to taste good in everything.
