🥗 Two healthy and delicious salads (without lettuce)

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi Reader,

I hate to admit it, but I'm not a big fan of lettuce-based salads. Never have been.

But a veggie-loaded salad with potatoes? Pass the plate!

This week I've freshly updated my Tuna Nicoise Salad recipe, and it's one of my favourite meals to make in the summer.

I acknowledge that a traditional Nicoise doesn't include boiled vegetables (and some people feel very strongly about this), but this version follows in the footsteps of cooks like Julia Child, who popularized the addition of potatoes and green beans.

I love the creaminess that new potatoes bring, and the snap of barely cooked green beans makes this salad fun to eat.

The recipe is flexible, too. Not a fan of anchovies? Leave them out of the dressing. Love radishes? Add them!

If you already enjoy Nicoise salads, hit reply and let me know what you usually add to yours!

This is a new photography style for me! Let me know if you like it!

Cooking Tip!

For the best texture and flavour, choose canned tuna packed in olive oil rather than water.

Make the most of end-of-summer tomatoes 🍅

Hi Reader, It's the last weekend in August, which means summer tomatoes are at their peak. This week I'm sharing two recipes that let ripe tomatoes shine. Neither requires any cooking, and both come together in under 20 minutes. Pico de Gallo A fresh, chunky salsa that's bright and a little spicy. So much better than anything from a jar. MAKE THIS RECIPE Greek Salad Chunky tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and a slab of feta make this one of my favourite salads of all time. MAKE...

The best reason to keep canned peaches in your pantry 🍑

Hi Reader, This sour cream peach pie recipe came to me through a brand partnership years ago. It was a peaches-and-cream tart that I was asked to share. The original recipe is long gone (on both my site and the brand's site), but the recipe itself never left my kitchen. Over time, I started adding nutmeg and cinnamon to the custard because the combination reminded me of one of my favourite doughnuts: the old-fashioned sour cream. That warm flavour of the spices pairs so nicely with sweet,...

A large ceramic bowl full of pesto pasta salad with feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and marinated artichokes.

Make this on Sunday and you're set for lunches until Wednesday!

Hi Reader, Today I'm following up on last week's basil pesto recipe. I wanted to share one of my favourite ways to use it: my pesto pasta salad with feta. I was inspired by a version I had at a cafe in Orillia, Ontario (years ago), and I've been making my own ever since. It's loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, olives, and feta, and it tastes even better the next day, which makes it great for meal prep. The pesto recipe I shared last week makes just enough for this...
