Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad with Apples and Pecans
I’ve been experimenting with new ways to use Brussel sprouts and have stumbled upon this very season appropriate salad with apples, cranberries, peppers, goat cheese, and pecans. It’s the perfect use of Brussel sprouts for a Thanksgiving side. I’m usually not big on salad for Thanksgiving, but this one is just so perfect. It’s festive and has all the the Flavors we know to associate with the holiday.
Strawberry and Peach Salad
When peaches are in season, I try to use them in cooking wherever I can. They are so incredibly juicy and sweet during the summer months, I just can't help from buying a few pounds every week. I think the key to pulling off a salad with lots of fruit is by also adding some sort of cheese, a bold green, and an acidic dressing.

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.
Balsamic Roasted Beets, Sweet Orange, and Chévre Salad with Pumpkin Seeds
After my last trip to the grocery store, where I impulse bought way too many oranges (don't know what I was thinking, how many oranges can one person eat?), I have been trying to come up with inventive ways of using them in recipes. After my failed attempt at making beet pasta, I was now left with a big bunch of beets. Clearly, the beets and oranges were meant to be together, tucked away in the vegetable crisper by themselves.
