I had a salad in one of the hostels I stayed at in Guatemala which was owned by Israeli guys, and they had a chopped salad on their menu that tasted so fresh and I absolutely loved it. I had completely forgotten about it until a few weeks ago and I decide to search for ‘Israeli Salad’ on Pinterest.

Spicy Middle Eastern White Fish
I wanted something fresh and light for a nice summer meal and I already had the salad, but need a plan for the main event. As always I like to join opposite flavours in a dish and with a sweet, refreshing salad, a bit of spice was needed. Continue reading “Spicy Middle Eastern White Fish”
Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Zucchini Noodles
Let’s be clear, I am in no way pretending that this is going to taste like spaghetti or any type of pasta for that matter, and I wasn’t intending on creating a substitute when making this recipe. If anything this dish would fall more appropriately into the salad category. Continue reading “Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Zucchini Noodles”
Ahi Tuna Nicoise Salad
I really wish I had an exciting story to tell about this salad but the truth is, this is a pretty classic Tuna Nicoise. I did make a few changes but the essence of the traditional French salad remained 😉 I used asparagus instead Continue reading “Ahi Tuna Nicoise Salad”
Macadamia Chicken Korma
For those of you who are into Indian cuisine as much as I am, Korma is probably not a new thing. I’ll just give you a quick breakdown just to make sure everybody knows what the heck I’m talking about here. Korma is a dish made of meat and/or vegetables braised in a spiced sauce mixed with yogurt, cream or nuts. Continue reading “Macadamia Chicken Korma”
Vietnamese Chopped Salad
It’s spring time everybody! How freaking exciting is that?! I love season changes. Except for winter. I could definitely live without winter. But spring means no more snow, it means a lot more fresh local produce, means summer is coming and salads are on the menu again! Not that you can’t eat them in the winter but I think you know what I mean. Continue reading “Vietnamese Chopped Salad”
Israeli Breakfast Skillet (Shakshuka)
I’ve had my eye on this breakfast idea for a while. Although I had never tasted this before making it myself, I had heard of it and thought it sounded delicious. I recently ended up in an Israeli ran restaurant called Greengos in Guatemala, and I saw the word ‘Shakshuka’ on the menu and actually had no idea what it was.
Pico de Gallo
Pico is something I like to have a big batch of so I can use it with different recipes. It goes great on top of grilled chicken breast aka ‘pollo a la plancha’, it’s good on tacos, burritos,etc. Continue reading “Pico de Gallo”
Crispy Duck Breast with Braised Cabbage & Apple
If you’ve never had duck before, well now is the time to try it. It is in my opinion of the most succulent dishes you can have and is perfect for a special occasion. If you Continue reading “Crispy Duck Breast with Braised Cabbage & Apple”
Easy Paleo Mayo
If you are wondering why anyone would ever go through the trouble of making their own mayo…Let me answer your question with a question: Have you read the back of a mayo jar lately? I don’t know about you but eating anything containing hydrogenated vegetable oil such as soybean or canola is right at the top of my NO list. And as tempted as I am to get into the juicy details of why these oils are absolutely awful for your health AND for the environment, I am going to let you do your own research and save the lecture for another time. For now, you’re just going to have to take my word for it. Continue reading “Easy Paleo Mayo”
