Bourbon Whiskey Vinaigrette

March 7, 2026 Amanda Plott

If you think vinaigrette is just oil, vinegar, and a resigned sigh, it’s time to introduce your salad to something with a little swagger. Bourbon whiskey vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that winks at your greens, tips its hat at roasted veggies, and quietly insists your chicken get with the program. It’s bright, slightly sweet, a touch smoky, and surprisingly healthy when you make it at home—because you control the sugar, the oil, and the attitude…

Irish Pub Salad

February 20, 2026 Amanda Plott

What happens when cozy, hearty pub flavors meet a lighter, salad-friendly wardrobe? You get the Irish Pub Salad — a deliciously nostalgic mashup that captures the spirit of an old-school pub lunch without the post-meal slump. Think tender lettuce, spicy pickled green beans, savory corned beef, sharp Irish cheddar, and a tangy honey mustard dressing that makes every forkful feel like a warm hug from the Emerald Isle — just less heavy and a lot more sprightly…

December 18, 2025 Amanda Plott

Meet your new favorite side (or main, if you’re feeling fancy and carbo-loading on crusty bread): a mushroom-forward salad that’s earthy, crunchy, and dressed in a truffle vinaigrette so good it will make you whisper “wow” into your napkin. It’s healthy but indulgent — the kind of guilt-free deliciousness we live for.

Greek 'Salsa'

October 5, 2025 Amanda Plott

Let’s toss the word salsa into the Mediterranean blender and see what dances out—Greek salsa! No, it's not about salsa dancing with a side of feta cheese, though that sounds like a party waiting to happen. We're talking about a vibrant, tangy, fresh side that takes the fiery heart of traditional salsa and marries it with the crisp, herbaceous soul of Greek cuisine. It’s like the culinary equivalent of a feta cheese and tomato love story with a lemony, zucchini-filled happy ending.

What Is Greek ‘Salsa’ Anyway?

The idea of Greek salsa isn't ancient or tradition-locked, but it’s an inspired mash-up that combines the bright, fresh ingredients of a Greek salad with the easy, chunky, spoon-it-on-anything attitude of salsa. Imagine the classic salsa components—tomatoes, onions, maybe peppers—getting a Mediterranean makeover with zucchini, kalamata olives, tangy feta, fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Bam! A saucy, chunky dip that’s guilt-free, fresh, and totally crave-worthy…
