Add a pop of color to winter with this colorful rainbow Beet and Roasted Cauliflower Salad recipe. It’s healthy, hearty and absolutely beautiful!Winter Rainbow Salad - Fresh Beet and Roasted Cauliflower Salad Recipe with Avocado and Tomatoes

It’s been particularly grey and dreary in San Francisco this winter, with days of rain turning into weeks. There’s been a drought for most of the time we’ve lived here so it’s definitely a shock to the system to have had such a wet winter!

I’m overcompensating for the grey-ness of life with this gorgeous rainbow salad. No artificial colors or dyes, all the pops of color come from plants! I always say that nature is the best artist, and I think looking at the photos you’ll have to agree…. Read More »

Easy Panzanella Salad + White Wine Pairing

Nut Free

A beautiful and easy panzanella salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and crusty croutons that is perfect for summer! Pairs well with Portuguese Vinho Verde wines.How to make an easy panzanella salad recipe plus pairing with Portuguese white wine

Panzanella salad is the perfect summer food. It’s easy to make and chock full of the things that make summer great, like fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and basil. It’s basically an easy chopped salad, but the thing that sets it apart is the crusty croutons made from stale bread.

You can definitely buy croutons, but I encourage you to make your own from a good loaf of rustic bread. For this recipe, I used a fun olive loaf from my local farmer’s market. If you’re impatient like I am, you can spread up the old bread process by popping it in the oven for a bit to dry out.

I also made a recipe video, so be sure to click through and check it out!… Read More »
