Classic Fattoush Salad

thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

Fattoush is one of the most refreshing and flavorful Middle Eastern Salads you ever did try. It’s made with fresh romaine, tomatoes, radishes, mint, parsley, and Persian cucumbers. To take it over the top, it’s tossed and topped with crispy pita croutons and the most simple lemon and olive oil-based vinaigrette with a hint of sweetness from pomegranate molasses and runny honey- the latter completely optional. You’re going to love the simplicity, the marriage of flavors, and that freshness-feel in every single bite. Perfect for hot summer days, or year-round. Bring this different salad to your next potluck or barbecue and watch it disappear.

Honey Paprika Shrimp, Avocado and Mango Salad

As the weather warms up, I start craving fresh and colorful salads that are a total palate party and easy to prepare! Salads that are both; refreshing and hearty and literally awaken and play with all your senses. One such salad is this Thai-inspired Shrimp and Mango Salad, except I had to make a few tweaks, that in my humble opinion; further enhance the bold flavors happening here! Insert creamy avocado chunks, a generous sprinkle of sumac, pickled red onions, and a honey paprika marinade or rub on the shrimp. Can’t compete with these delicious ingredients that together orchestrate a winning bowl.

Tabbouleh Panzanella Salad

If you are a fan of classic Mediterranean Tabbouleh, you’re doing to L-O-V-E this Panzanella version! Have you even heard about a Panzanella salad? It originated in Tuscany, Italy (of all pretty places) and it consists of bread, tomatoes, cucumber and other seasonal vegetables. I am convinced the salad originated as a way to effectively use leftover, stale bread instead of throwing it away.  You use good quality extra virgin olive oil and vinegar (or lemon) and I personally like it when the bread is soaked in the vinaigrette; much like croutons would in traditional salad.
