In summer, we eat salad almost every day. On a hot day, it’s simply the best option for keeping your stomach happy and ensuring a (reasonably) comfortable night’s sleep. To keep things interesting with all those salads, we like to make different types of toppings now and then, such as these easy Homemade Croutons (made in an Air Fryer). They look good on top of a salad, they add some extra crunch, and taste excellent, of course. ;)
When it’s hot outside (and hot inside the apartment), we rarely cook. This does not mean we are not eating anything, but choosing foods that are easier to prepare and easier to digest is the name of the game in summer. This means salads are our preferred meals in summer. Something like this delicious Roasted Chickpea, Tomato & Feta Salad with Za’atar. Easy to prepare, healthy, and really tasty! What more could you want?!
Even though the selection of veggies and fruit is often not as good in winter as it is in spring or summer, you can still prepare a lot of delicious dishes. Winter veggies, such as red beet, are perfect for a salad. The best example I can think of there, is this Lentil Salad with Red Beet & Halloumi. Packed with vitamins and really delicious!
We got plenty of Asian-inspired recipes here on the blog – this delicious Vermicelli Glass Noodle Salad with Meatballs is another recipe to add to the list. A delicious combination of thin rice noodles with a healthy salad and a few well-seasoned meatballs… you have to include some protein in a balanced meal, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a well-rounded meal. Right? ;P
I don’t know about you, but here in Germany, bowls in every possible version took over the lunch game a few years ago. It feels like pretty much every lunch spot is now selling bowls – usually a lot of salad-only bowls, but sometimes something like these Hummus Bowls with Salad & Kofta. These bowls also include salad, of course, but the rest is a bit more substantial ;P
Unfortunately, not many recipes were passed down from one generation to the next in our family. Many in our family liked to bake, cook, and eat, but writing down recipes and sharing them with someone… not so much. I am probably the first one to do this properly ;P However, one recipe has managed to be passed on: Grandma’s Pasta Salad (with Mayonnaise). A classic pasta salad that’s a standard for our BBQ gatherings ;)
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 ;)
