Quinoa Tabbouleh Gluten Free
I wanted to make a gluten free version of Tabbouleh so included Quinoa! It’s perfect! There’s something about Spring that makes me crave bright green flavors! Which generally means I’m incorporating as many fresh herbs as possible. Tomorrow I am making Falafel which I’m going to serve on a great big board with lots of tiny bowls of other levantine favorites like hummus, Jerusalem salad, baba ghanoush, marinated olives and feta, and this gorgeous Quinoa Tabbouleh.

Spinach & Brussels Sprout Salad {with Maple Bacon Dressing}
This Spinach & Brussels Sprout Salad {with Warm Maple Bacon Dressing} is a new year-round favorite. Together you have salty, savory and sweet with a little crunch and texture in each bite. I adore each of the individual components of this salad. Fresh tender spinach, shaved Brussels sprouts, toasted pecans, parmesan crisps, dried cranberries, and warm maple bacon dressing.

Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad is Simply Delicious
Every plate lunch in Hawaii includes a scoop of Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad. It’s very basic, but that’s what makes it so good. In Hawaii the plate lunch is their most popular dish. Yes, the poke bowl is a close competitor, but every road side stand, food truck, and hole-in-the-wall restaurant offers a plate lunch. Classically your ‘plate’ will include a protein, then they add two scoops of white rice and a generous serving of this macaroni salad. It’s a carb lovers dream!

Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower Fried Rice. If you’re craving a low-carb or vegetarian alternative to traditional fried rice, this is the recipe for you. A little sesame oil and soy sauce and you’ve got the flavor profile down. I always add carrots, onion and green peas but sometimes I also add zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, or even bacon.

Herby Polenta {with Smoked Gouda}
I’m not sure whether to categorize Herby Polenta as a side dish or a main dish. I would be entirely happy and comfortable with that big bowl and a spoon. The fresh herb flavors popping through with hints of smoked gouda in every creamy extremely satisfying bite!
