As the days grow longer and warmer, put a little “spring” in your step with this salmon dinner salad. This one has a chorus of textures and flavors. Tonight crisp fresh lettuce, crunchy cucumber, popping cherry tomatoes and chewy sliced fennel harmonize with zingy mango. The salmon delivers a melody line to savor while the Asian dressing provides a memorable accompaniment.
Puttanesca sauce is a favorite in my house. Puttanesca is usually a spicy sauce using seasonal vegetables. We get many of tonight’s “seasonal” vegetables year-round in our supermarkets.
This version of Puttanesca sauce also has some plant-based Italian sausage thrown in to ratchet up the spicy element.
We’ll use leftover polenta and marinara sauce tonight.
Tonight, versatile and delicious Bok Choy is coming your way and it’s spicy garlic sauce will absolutely tickle your fancy! This tasty stir-fry includes bits of chicken and is served over hearty brown rice.
Baked wild salmon with chard will grace your table tonight, accompanied by a tropical mango salsa over toasty grilled polenta. There are bound to be praises sung in honor of this heavenly combination.
Plan to make the polenta mid-afternoon and chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
It’s Saturday, May 17th.
Another great week of dining lies ahead. It’s time to plan ahead and create your grocery orders.
Finish the month by enjoying a leftover night with a stop in front of your fridge. Enjoy your multi-course stroll down memory lane.
