Mexican Corn Salad Recipe

June 7, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Mexican Corn Salad Recipe combines buttered sweet corn, salty cotija cheese, bright cilantro and lime, and zippy jalapeno and garlic with a punchy, creamy dressing to cool it down.

I wait all year for summer foods. Corn on the cob, tomatoes, and peaches, to name a few. Some things just taste 100 times better when they’re local and in-season!

My favorite way to eat corn will always be the way I grew up with: steamed with butter and salt. But I love playing with new flavors and Mexican flavors in particular always catch my eye.…

This easy to make BLT Pasta Salad Recipe has a couple healthy twists and is packed with flavor! It’s the perfect side dish for any summer BBQ, potluck, or picnic. Out of all my childhood memories, I remember summer vacation most vividly. Those memories seem to be brighter, louder, and definitely more full of delicious smells and tastes. We basically lived off what we cooked on the grill during summer months. No matter what grilled meat or veggies we made, my mom always paired them with more fresh produce....

This satisfying Pear Kale Salad with Candied Almonds and Crumbled Goat Cheese pairs sweet and savory flavors with creamy and crunchy textures.

This Fresh Fig Salad Recipe features sweet, juicy fresh figs, nutty pistachios, and a sweet/tart dressing. It’s easy to make and as delicious as it is simple! Who says salad can’t be spectacular? Not I. I think the best part about a salad is its simplicity. If you have extremely fresh produce, just let its flavor shine and the work is done for you....

With a base of mostly yogurt, this Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is lower in calories and fat, but still has all the flavor! A sprinkle of goat cheese (or feta) and fresh herbs really take the taste up a notch. I have had more than my fair share of cucumber salads in my day!...

Pico de Gallo Recipe (Mexican Salsa Fresca)

May 24, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

Pico de Gallo Recipe (also called Mexican Salsa Fresca) takes just 10 minutes to make and transforms a few ordinary ingredients into a bright-flavored fresh salsa that you can pair with everything from tacos to tortilla chips, or just eat with a spoon. I can always be in the mood for Mexican food. I love richly spiced moles, slow-cooked fall-apart-tender meats like oxtail, roasts, and short ribs, and fresh cheese. Mexican cuisine is a harmony between spicy flavors to excite and creamy textures to cool the palate. And let’s not forget the fresh, bright flavor of things like tomato-based salsa that’s aromatic with cilantro to […]...

Sweet and salty pair perfectly in this Watermelon Salad Recipe with Feta! It’s a delicious refreshing side dish for a hot summer day.

This recipe for Greek Salad Bowls with Spiced Lamb Burgers is full of bold flavors, such as feta cheese, Kalamata olives, garlicky yogurt dressing, and spiced lamb burgers! I’ve been to visit Mike at work at the Pentagon a couple times now. As cool as it is to get a private tour of the DOD’s HQ from my hubby, my favorite part is always lunch....

Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Recipe

February 24, 2020 by Faith 11 Comments

This Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Recipe is easy to make with leftover chicken and full of flavor! It has nutty crunch from walnuts, bursts of sweet/tart cranberries, and a creamy dressing. The other day Mike and I went to Al Mubarakiya, the old market here in Kuwait. (If you’re interested, you can check out my photos of the old market here on my Instagram feed.) We had absolutely no intention of buying anything. Famous last words, lol!...

Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad

November 7, 2019 by Faith 12 Comments

This Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad only has four ingredients, is full of crunch and has a rich, creamy, zippy dressing! It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and a great side dish year-round. I wish I could say that me and Brussels sprouts go way back, but we just don’t. Growing up, I wasn’t much of a picky eater, except for foods that were highly pungent. That basically eliminated things like sauerkraut, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts from my diet, lol....
