I am a huge salad lover and rarely a day goes by that I don’t eat a big bowl of something that would be considered salad. I have a big passion for kale, which may be weird, but i just love the stuff, as you’ll probably see here…
I so want to love seaweed salad. Someday I’ll probably love seaweed salad, but for now… For now this Kale Cucumber “Seaweed” Salad will do very, very nicely. Especially if I can find a way to smuggle it into the sushi restaurants in my purse. This salad is so delicious, […]
and red onion, dates, pistachios, parsley, argula, aleppo pepper… Have I won the longest recipe title ever award? Least boring at least? This Charred Cabbage and Cauliflower Salad with ALL those other things – and more – is absolutely anything but boring and holy heck is it delicious. As I […]
One of my favourite salads of all time. This Roasted Carrot Avocado Salad with Harissa Yogurt has a story. Not a long story, but one that’s worth telling… at least I think so, but maybe just because I want to hear myself tell it… Years ago. We’re talking many, many […]
Say hello to your (my) new favorite kale salad… This Tahini Kale Salad might just be the most festive kale salad ever. The colors are spectacular and it is just bursting with flavors and textures. I’m so in love with it. We’re into holiday season now and I always find […]
Is it Rocca? Rocket? Roquette? Arugula? Has any green ever had so many names? I’m calling this Rocca Salad. That’s what they call it in the middle east and since I used sumac in this dressing (it is the BEST dressing!!) I’m in keeping with the theme. Plus, it’s the […]
Because brown butter isn’t just for desserts ok? It’s also for salads, for pasta, for rice bowls, for popcorn, for sauces… I just really like it ok? Especially in this Sumac dressing… Pearl couscous is the best couscous as far as I’m concerned, and when you mix it with almonds, […]
…with cherries, goat cheese & tarragon brown butter vinaigrette. This Golden Beet Salad… it’s all about sweet golden beets tossed together with plump, tart dried cherries, creamy crumbled goat cheese and then!!! Then I douse the whole works in an irresistible browned butter tarragon vinaigrette and I just don’t know […]
This Mushroom and Kale Salad is all I want to eat from now until Spring. And maybe even then I’ll just eat it cold. It is that good. And yes, before you ask… yes you can sub in goat cheese or feta for the blue cheese. I know a lot […]
This Brussels Sprout Salad with Cranberries (sugared cranberries!!), Toasted Almonds and Parmesan is a game-changer. THIS is the salad you want to make for whatever holiday shindig you’re attending over the next couple of months. Or for a Tuesday in July. Or for right now. I’m telling you, once you […]
My favourite Fall Chopped Salad! This Fennel Apple Salad is Fall’s answer to a chopped salad and it is so easy to throw together. A little chopping, a little tossing, a little whisking. Done! And you can make it ahead of time! Hearty, chewy farro (possibly my fave salad ingredient […]
Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat.
