LeSauce

simple salad with avocado caper dressing

The time the avocado spends in the dressing makes the dressing more luscious. And you get to finish that email...

mallum

Why you need mallum, a big, fresh, slightly crunchy flurry of greens, over a bowl of rice and dark curry.

pickled salad with eggs

I chose radishes and yellow pepper for one reason: pretty. Feel free to choose other non-watery, crunchy vegetables.

summer plates and the send-off salad: watermelon + halloumi

If you think you need to pay tribute to a great summer before it's gone, and to enjoy a meal that is decidedly summer before diving into squash pasta or a heap of leaves, this will be the perfect send-off salad for you too.

fattoush

This is a Lebanese bread salad, really, but there are two things that set it apart from similar salads...

tabbouleh

I would never have known to make and use a Lebanese 7-spice powder which makes for a fantastic, and I'm trusting, very authentic tabbouleh.

a very LA salad

Don't turn your nose up if you're "so over" these sprouts. This is a salad to love long-term.

boston lettuce, oven-dried olives, feta and roasted chickpeas

boston lettuce with oven-dried olives, feta and roasted chickpeas

For this, my new favourite salad, you dry out already sun-dried olives and you opt for roasted chickpeas instead of nuts--because they're way nuttier. And then you plow your way through way more of it than you could imagine.
