Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing is a balanced combination of complex flavors and different textures.

If we’re going to be friends, there are two things you should know about me. Firstly, there are some foods I can always be in the mood for. Indian is at the top of the list, and so is Thai.

Watermelon Salad with Sweet and Spicy Vinaigrette

Sweet and salty pair perfectly in this refreshing Watermelon Salad with Sweet and Spicy Vinaigrette! Growing up, our summertime meals consisted mostly of fresh veggies. Sweet grilled corn on the cob; sliced red tomatoes with my mom’s sweet creamy white dressing; zucchini sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and salt; steamed green beans with butter; bowls of leafy greens. It was bliss, all of it, and it’s no wonder that to this day my sister and I both prefer veggies over meat or junk food. (Thank you, Mom!)...

It was one of my sister and my favorites as pre-teens, and although at the time it wasn’t even close to being applicable to us, our favorite quote from the movie was Sue Ellen, every girl over 25 should have a cucumber in the house! Now that this quote does apply to me, I admit to nearly always having cucumber on hand. And yes, I snagged a couple of slices for my eyes when I made this salad. ;)...
