Salad

Classic Tabbouleh

April 14, 2016 by Charles Leave a Comment

IMG_6155

As I noted last post, I have been on a Jerusalem kick.  The flavors and ingredients of the Near East are exotic, yet delightful, offering a welcome change from some of the normal mid-week meals.  One such ingredient is tahini, a ground sesame paste, that is central to hummus, halvah, and other staples of middle eastern cuisine.  Another ingredient is bulgur, which is a critical component of kibbeh (a stuffed meatball) and tabbouleh.

In one recent dinner, a layered kibbeh pie, we had a mix of bulgur and tahini (along with ground beef, pine nuts, and plenty of chopped parsley).  Speaking of chopped parsley, tabbouleh can properly be seen as a vehicle for parsley and more parsley.  It is a parsley-heavy salad.  But it is also a cool …

CSA Corn and Black Bean Salad

CSA Salad

We are now in the second year of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) from the La Vista farm in Godfrey, Illinois. Every other week, we pick up our bounty of fresh vegetables and herbs. In recent weeks, we have been enjoying La Vista’s tomatoes, okra, summer squash, basil, and other similar items from our farm basket. We have also supplemented from our herb garden, replete with rosemary, thyme, and dill, giving us the full array of summer flavors.

This recipe comes together…

Greek Salad

March 26, 2012 by Charles Leave a Comment

Every so often, I’ll catch myself, and realize that it’s been a few days since I’ve had a good, solid, salad.  I may have had some vegetables – I certainly love my sweet potatoes and butternut squash – but for some reason, a head of lettuce is not one of my staple purchases.  So, whenever I come to this realization, I go for a Greek Salad.

I think there’s something about the saltiness in the feta that drives my love for the Greek Salad.  Or maybe the soft taste of the sliced red onions, given a pickled quality by the vinegar.  Or maybe the sharp taste…

Roasted Beet Salad

June 30, 2011 by Charles 3 Comments

It seems like most of the restaurants we’ve been to lately offer a beet salad.  And I really like them.  There’s just something about the vibrant red colors and that soft, sweet taste that I find mesmerizing.  So, as with any good dish I’ve seen on the menu, I asked myself if I could make it at home.  The answer, resoundingly, was…

Chickpea Salad

June 14, 2011 by Charles 2 Comments

Chickpeas are a complicated bunch.  The first time Caitlin and I cooked with chickpeas, we opened a can, drained them, and prepared a mixture to make falafel.  It was a total disaster.  The canned chickpeas disintegrated the minute they hit the frying oil.  Fortunately, dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, worked like a charm.

With that lesson in mind, …
