Cucumber and Squid Salad

If you go through my recipes from the last few months, you’ll notice that I seem to be spending a lot of time on Epicurious.  Yes, a lot of the ingredients on there, are not easily available, but that’s exactly why I play around with the recipe. The minute I saw this, I knew I…

Strawberry and Cucumber Salad

Strawberry season is here!!!! For the rest of the world strawberries are a summer fruit, but here in India, its season is the winter. India’s temperatures are quite warm, making it difficult for berries not just strawberries to grow in the heat. India’s “winter” which is 20C in parts of the country makes it ideal…

Green Goddess Quinoa Salad

In my second (you can check out the first here) collaboration with Pranita, I’m making a salad. Since the entire brief was about her wanting to lose weight, and be healthy while still eating delicious food, I decided to do a salad. So the concept of Green Goddess was developed wherein you use a bunch of…

Nicoise Toast

I’m currently going through a phase with canned tuna, so bear with me. I loooove a good Nicoise salad. The potato, the beans, the dressing, it’s just so good. So when I found a version of it that goes on toast, I was intrigued. The original recipe is from Epicurious and is very very similar…

Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Tomato Jam

I’m sorry I know its a been a long while since I last posted, but I really just haven’t had the time or the motivation. Sorry! Zaatar is something I absolutely love. You don’t get it very easily in India, and the flavours are quite different. I have a friend who went to Dubai last…

Salads

  Salads are a super easy thing to whip up for a picnic, and are honestly super easy to eat. It’s not drippy, its light and can be eaten cold. We were quite ambitious while planning and decided to do 5 salads, but in the end we only made 3 salads. I made two a…

Chicken Salad with Spinach and Bacon

Since I haven’t done much of savoury so far, I thought I’d start now. This is a simple salad which takes no time at all. It’s the kind of thing I’d put together in the middle of the night and rightfully so since I got the recipe from Nigella’s Forever Summer book. It also works…
