We love salads (not only) in the summer! A simple Caesar Chicken Salad is one of our favorites here – whether it’s for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish for a barbecue in the garden or park. This classic American salad is extremely delicious and, surprisingly, quite easy to prepare. It never hurts if it doesn’t take too long to get the food on the table, right?! ;P
Fresh Mung bean sprouts are a crunchy, nutrient-rich addition to many dishes. You can find them in many supermarket – but when you grow them at home, they are cheaper and fresher than anything you can buy in a store. We’ve written a short guide on how to grow them at home, super easy and without much effort. Everything you need to know from choosing the right beans to harvesting and the proper storage of the small sprouts.
Caesar salad is a standard in our house when it comes to dinner (and not just in summer). We love making this salad – especially, when no one wants to cook (or eat) a big meal. We almost always have some homemade Caesar Salad Dressing ready in the fridge. It’s so easy to make, stays fresh for quite some time, and tastes great, of course! We love it!
We love Asian cuisine – that’s probably because we like everything a little spicier. Let’s just say that slightly »hotter« dishes are not uncommon in Asia, right?! ;) This delicious Korean Cucumber Salad (with Gochugaru) also packs a punch… if you’re not careful with the chili flakes, aka. Gochugaru. If you like it tasty and spicy, you should definitely make this recipe!
In summer, we eat salad very often. Almost every evening, to be honest. It’s simply the best dinner when the temperatures are a bit more challenging… and it tends to get quite warm in the attic where we live. Pasta salad may not necessarily be the best option here, but this Caesar Chicken Pasta Salad is an exception, because the ratio of pasta to veggies is very balanced. So is the salad healthy? Hmmm… good question. ;P
In summer, we prefer lighter meals. We live in the »attic« of our house and that apartment can get very hot. Those lighter meals are usually quick and easy to prepare and don’t weigh heavily on the stomach when trying to fall asleep when it’s still hot at night. In an apartment without air conditioning, this is very important! ;P Salads are pretty much the standard for us in summer. One of our favorite salads is our Couscous Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber & Za’atar. Light, refreshing, healthy, and really delicious! The perfect easy dinner in summer!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
