Roasted Squash, Seeds, and Greens Salad
If you’re looking for a yummy salad that can be a meal in itself—one that’s packed with nutrition and flavor—then this is it! You can roast a squash just to use in this salad or use leftovers, chop, and toss it in. Feel free to experiment with the kinds of seeds. Or better yet, use […]
My Grandmother’s Potato Salad
My grandmother’s name was Ardath Harter, so I called her “Grama” Harter (she would write her surname with a heart!). I only remember her making three foods. For me, when I visited her house, she’d make a grilled cheese with dill pickles on the side and a cup of tea in a gold teacup. For […]
Non-Mayo Coleslaw
It’s picnic and backyard party season, and where there are BBQs and grilled meats, there MUST also be coleslaw (without mayo!). Something about the vinegar cuts and balances the smoky grease of any good BBQ. For the cabbage, you can use regular, purple, savoy, or napa—or, for fun, a mixture of cabbages! This is a […]

This recipe is to me the epitome of “clean food,” in that you just feel really healthy and light after […]
Escarole and Pomegranate Salad

I’ve recreated it from taste and description, and it’s good. My kids kept asking me “What IS escarole?” And I tried to describe it. Like a […]
Syrian Salad
I have a favorite Middle Eastern restaurant that I’ve been going to for more than 20 years, even as it’s changed locations from a house on a street in a “bad” part of town to a stand-alone building that used to house a prior Middle Eastern restaurant. And I’ve always loved the salad, despite the […]
