salad

Celery is often an afterthought, but it's time to give this nutritional veggie a starring role — it's packed with phytonutrients! Try it out in this delicious spring salad.

This meal was not what I was expecting, but not in a bad way. I was thinking this recipe for Chicken on cilantro-ginger noodles would be hot and mushy and would taste like a Thai food takeout dish. Boy, was I wrong. Do you ever eat something so cool, crisp and healthy that you feel clean and refreshed afterwards, like you just stepped out of the shower? I'm not kidding. I usually only feel like that after a salad on a hot summer day.

Craving something warm with plenty of greens? Looking for a salad that's hearty and perfect as a light meal? Want something that's easy to make, spectacular to eat, and will wow your dinner guests? Then the Wilted spinach salad with chipotle pork is just what you need.

This pasta substitute packs all the creaminess of lasagna - plus health-boosting ingredients - without the added calories

If you’re looking for a colourful salad, complete with bold yet complementary flavours, then the Easy arugula and hazelnut salad is for you. Having learned a lesson or two from my failed attempt at the Best-ever brownies recipe a couple of weeks ago, I made sure that after toasting the hazelnuts (in my toaster oven at 350F for 10 minutes), I promptly rubbed them in a towel while they were still warm to remove the skins (it becomes much more difficult to remove the skins once the hazelnuts cool). If you’d like to skip toasting hazelnuts, then almonds or cashews would do quite nicely. I do recommend taking the few extra minutes to toast the hazelnuts, though. And if you send someone out to get some for you, remind them that they will find them in the baking section labeled as ‘filberts’. If you don't, your errand boy or girl may find himself, or herself, roaming the aisles of the grocery store frustrated, confused and hungry.
