Mixed Greens with Chili-Almond Croutons

July 16, 2019 By msmart Leave a Comment

Mixed greens with almond-chili croutons

Mixed Greens with Crunchy Almonds This salad came together out of pure luck one day. The chili-almond “croutons” were left over from a soup recipe, and they just happened to be the perfect match for mixed greens with tart apple cider vinaigrette. The Almond Topping The crunchy topping is part of a carrot-harissa soup recipe…

Radicchio and Radish Salad The bright red color in this salad gets me every time, it’s too beautiful not to share with you all. To start with, butter lettuce from my garden fills up the bottom of the salad bowl and adds a mellow component. I’ll also use mixed greens when I don’t have enough…

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

November 23, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Ok friends. I swore to my kids I wouldn’t try to create a healthy Thanksgiving menu, but I do think it’s good to balance virtue and vice. When you have a table filled with probably twenty pounds of butter-and carb-filled side dishes, it’s important to have something green. Yesterday in the Houston Chronicle, I had…

Arugula, Watermelon and Feta Salad

July 3, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

I use toasted pine nuts in this recipe. Slivered almonds or toasted pecan pieces would also be delicious, or if you have nut allergies leave them out entirely.
