This is the BEST salad ever...comment ‘BEST SALAD’ and I’ll DM you the recipe link :) or scroll below and you’ll find it! this is so simple and I literally serve it every time I host and it is always a hit. Don’t even get me started on the dressing…I could literally eat it by the spoonful. Pro Tip: always massage the dressing in VS just pouring it on top. Makes it taste better. Ingredients: •1-5 oz container arugula. •1 fennel (shaved). •1/3 cup freshly grated parmigiano •reggiano + more for shaving over the salad. •1.5 lemons. •1/3 cup + 2 tbsp olive oil. •1.5 tbsp honey. •1.5 tsp dijon mustard. •salt to taste (I used my seasoned salt). Directions: 1. Add the grated parmigiano to a bowl with the zest of 1 lemon, the juice of them, honey, dijon, salt and olive oil. Whisk really well. Let it sit for 15-20 min. 2. Shave the fennel and squeeze a bit of lemon so it doesn’t turn. 3. Add the arugula and fennel to a bowl. Massage dressing in, as much or as little as you want. 4. Shave more parmigiano on top and that’s it. #saladrecipes #saladdressing #arugula #makeitdelicious #damnthatsdelish #healthyrecipes #homecooking #easyrecipes #dressing

Salmon Crudo & Cilantro Coconut Sauce for ep.1 of my ‘If I had a restaurant’ series. This dish more than deserves a spot at my imaginary restaurant. Pro Tip: save the leek oil for a later use!

Directions: 1. Slice your leeks into thin matchsticks. Add them to a cold pan and coat them with olive oil. Turn heat on to high for 2 min and lower to medium low. Let them fry until golden. About 3-4 min. Make sure they don’t burn. 2. Add the cilantro, yuzu, scallions, serrano, ginger, agave, miso, tamari, fish sauce and sesame oil. Pulse for 30 sec. 3. Slice your fish thinly. 4.

Marinated Artichokes ♥️ my favorite thing to do with them while in season! Ingredients: * 16-20 baby artichokes. * 3.5 lemons. * 1/4 cup olive oil + more for topping. * 5 garlic cloves (thinly sliced). * 1/2 cup white wine. * 1 tbsp crushed red peppers. * 1 tsp cane sugar. * 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce. * 1 tbsp dried chives. * 1/2 tbsp dried basil. * 1/2 tbsp dried tarragon. * Salt to taste. Whipped Brie: * 8 oz brie (rind removed). * 4 oz cream cheese. * Chives to taste. * Flaky salt. * Crusty bread. Directions: 1. Fill a pot with water, and squeeze 2 lemons in it. 2. Remove most of the outer leaves from the baby artichoke until they feel tender. Cut off 1/3 of the top and some of the stem. Using a peeler, peel off the hard part of the stem. 3. Slice in half and removet the ‘furry’ part of the choke. 4. Add immediately to the lemon water so they don’t turn brown. 5. Add some salt and bring to a boil. Simmer covered until soft. About 30 min. 6. Cut the remaining lemon into slices and then cut them in half. 7. Preheat a skillet for 2 min on medium. Add the olive oil to a skillet and let it heat up for 1 min. Add in the lemon slices. Add the sugar. Let them caramelize for about 3-4 min and flip. 8. Add in the wine and garlic. Let it reduce by half. Add in the herbs, crushed peppers, soy sauce remaining 1/2 lemon and salt to taste. 9. Drain the artichokes and mix them with the brining liquid. 10. Add them to a large mason jar and cover with olive oil. 11. Marinate for 24 hrs, and keep in the fridge for up to 7. 12. Whip your brie and cream cheese. 13. Warm up the desired amount of artichokes and top the whipped brie with it. Enjoy with crusty bread. #artichokes #marinatedartichokes #brie #easyrecipes
