Kale Tahini Salad with Lentils & Sweet Potato

October 4, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Remember when kale was all the rage a few years ago? It was the number one ‘superfood’ on everyone’s radar. As annoying as that term is, it did bring kale front and centre and for that I am grateful. When I first tried a kale salad, I wasn’t a huge fan because I simply wasn’t making it correctly. Now that I have mastered the art of the kale salad, it is my all time favourite green in the winter to make a salad with. This kale tahini salad will completely blow you away with its taste and I can’t wait for you to try it.

Loaded Burger Bowl: With Special Sauce (Paleo)

This loaded burger bowl is my take on a deconstructed Big Mac. And it is damn delicious! To be completely honest, I don’t even want a regular burger on a bun anymore, just feed me this salad and I am good. As long as the special sauce is on there, I don’t need much else in life. I added a few non traditional ingredients, but they work in this recipe and I know you’ll love it too.

If you’re anything like me, you love fresh corn on the cob in the summer. I don’t think there is anything better than grilled corn complete with butter and sea salt. But then I tried Mexican street corn at a restaurant and I was blown away by the flavour. Truthfully, I made it this way every time I bought corn last summer. And this summer is shaping up to be the same. So I thought it was time I shared this Mexican street corn salad with you. Your welcome!

Recently I had the opportunity to visit a farm here outside of Toronto that grows asparagus. And I not only learned a lot about how asparagus is grown, but I left feeling so inspired. If you aren’t familiar with asparagus, you are about to learn about it and also score the recipe for this shaved asparagus salad. It’s light and fresh for spring and it stores well in the fridge sans dressing.

Mason Jar Salads: Three Ways

As summer is s l o w l y approaching here in Toronto, I am excited and filled with so much optimism for the warmer weather. Yes technically we still have spring coming, but with all the rain we’ve been getting lately, it’s hard to imagine spring is actually coming. But, I did get to experience just a little preview of summer when I was in Vegas a few weeks back for my friend’s bachelorette. I had SO MUCH fun! It was a well needed girls trip that had me laughing so much, I didn’t want to come back to reality. But before I left for Vegas, I made these vegan mason jar salads. And let me tell you, they are all so delicious. They would make a perfect on-the-go, travel lunch too.

Roasted Potato Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

I don’t know about you, but I love me some potatoes. I’ll pretty much take them any way I can. Whether it’s roasted, baked or mashed, potatoes are life. Sure, sweet potatoes are great and super nutritious, but don’t discount white potatoes simply because they are, well, white. This roasted potato salad is made with a fresh green goddess dressing that you can whip up in no time.

Vegan Buddha Bowl: Grain Free & Easy

March 18, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

In the midst of the chaos of moving, I managed to make this grain free vegan buddha bowl. Moving is probably one of the most annoying things to do, right? It’s sooooo much work all to have to unpack everything later. And let’s be honest, nobody really wants to help you move, why would anyone want to volunteer their time to such an endeavour? Which is why I hired movers because they’re getting paid to do it. I do have some help coming from family, but that is more for some of the unpacking and emotional support. And as I am getting older I realize that is exactly what they are there for- in times of need, they are there to help. When shit gets real, they are there for you and I couldn’t be more appreciative of them.

Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Caesar Dressing

Yum

Have you ever fallen in love with a salad? Over the years, I have definitely fallen head over heels in love with a few salads. One was this farro salad, another was this dairy free caesar salad and this one has now been added to the list. This shredded brussels sprout salad has it all. Finely shredded sprouts (thank you mandolin), a tried and true classic caesar dressing, salty crispy prosciutto and crunch from toasted walnuts. You are going to want to make a big batch of this, because you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Grilled Romaine Salad with Chickpea Croutons

Nothing says summer quite like a BBQ, right? Well, unfortunately, I live in a condo and don’t have access to a BBQ, but I make do with what I have the best way I know how. So I used my panini press and grilled my romaine on that. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done for the most part. If you’ve never had a grilled romaine salad before, you need to change that! It completely changes the game, trust me. If you hate turning the oven on in the summer, it’s also a good idea to buy some pre-roasted chickpeas as well. And who doesn’t want to save time and sanity in the kitchen……

The easiest dairy free caesar salad

Who else loves a good caesar salad?! I know I do. But usually the store bought versions are a little less than stellar when it comes to ingredients. That is why I love making my own dairy free version and slathering it all over some kale and romaine. This dairy free caesar salad has become my go-to for good reason, it is straight up delicious! Be warned, you’re going to want to slather this dairy free caesar salad dressing over alllllllll the salads.
