We’re dining on Chard with Tzatziki Sauce tonight. I love the crisp freshness of this version of greens. It’s a light, refreshing and easy-to-make, multilayered meal. It features chard served over quinoa with sliced Chick’n and Tzatziki Sauce.
Garnish the plates with some crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh tomato.
Maximum munchability awaits your diners tonight. This taco salad features a fluted tortilla cup filled with homemade taco filling and is surrounded by seasonal crisp lettuce. Savory avocados, sliced bell peppers, cucumbers and poppin’ good cherry tomatoes round out this classic salad. It’s topped with homemade tomato salsa. What’s not to like here?
The explosive flavors of the French classic, Nicoise Salad, make for a great meal to share with friends and family. The meal is best when allowed to chill, so I’ve presented it on Sunday when you may have extra time to prepare this dish. This salad is a perfect warm weather meal that takes advantage of seasonal green beans and new potatoes. You may choose to cook a 12 oz. piece of fresh tuna on the barbecue, but you can also simply use canned light tuna.
This recipe was inspired by a Kate Sherwood recipe featured in the Nutrition Action Newsletter. If you’ve got quinoa on hand you’re good to go. Use any kind of kale for this one. It’s a tasty, multi-textured, warm weather meal. Pick a couple of artisan rolls to serve as a compliment to the meal.
Open-faced sandwiches are actually old-world delicacies. Back in the 15th century the English called these sandwiches “trenches.” The French called them “trenchers.” The idea was that the slice of bread also served as the plate and after you ate the toppings, you ate the “plate.”
Tonight you’ll have Pizza Burgers served open-faced. It’ll be served with a fruit-laced arugula salad. We’ve progressed a bit since the 15th century. A plate will be provided.
Back in September you froze leftover falafel. Tonight you’ll put it to use and make some delicious dinner roll-ups. If you don’t have leftover falafel, Chickenless Tenders will work just fine. Add some tabbouleh salad and a piece of fruit, and you’ve got a refreshing meal.
This AM…
Pull 8 falafel pieces from the freezer and transfer to a plate in the fridge for the day.
