There are two things in this world that completes a meal; potato salad and or Macaroni salad. Today I am stepping into the world of macaroni salad. This cold and delicious dish, pairs so beautifully with hot food, especially fried chicken. But since this is meatless month let’s not focus on the chicken but on the unique addition of kale and zucchini.

Kale and apple salad with pomegranate vinaigrette

Summa Summa Summa time!

Its about that time when we mix veggies and fruits. The lovely and highly anticipated summer months are here. I too have joined the club but instead of bringing you the typical Cesar salad which is clearly the official salad of summer BBQ’s or worse the ready-made flavorless salad in a bag, you get this;  A fresh, crunchy, tangy, sweet, oniony and yummaaaay Kale salad. Yes you can eat kale raw, taste just like lettuce I promise.

Warm Kale and Pumpkin salad

"Pumpkin Everythang”

Pumpkin salad surprisingly has been my biggest challenge so far. In trying to conceptualize the dish I made a few decisions very early on...

•  I’ve never been a fan of warm salads, but this had to be one, because raw pumpkin es no bueno
• Texturally pumpkin gets mushy no matter how it’s cooked, so I needed a way to prepare it so it would maintain its shape for the most part.
• I didn’t want it boiled
• I didn’t want it roasted
• I didn’t want a pumpkin dressing
