Lemony Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad

Vibrant, herbaceous, and bright, a classic Middle Eastern tabbouleh is traditionally a parsley-forward, minty herb salad flecked with tomato, a smattering of bulgur, dressed with a bit of lemon and olive oil, and occasionally has a hint of warming spices such as allspice. Perform a quick search and you’ll find there are seemingly countless variations, with modern versions containing a more deliberate amount of bulgur, tossed with still plenty of fresh herbs, onion, more tomato, sometimes cucumber, and again simply seasoned with lemon and olive oil.

Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples and Spicy Candied Hazelnuts

By Gayle Leave a Comment

Easy and delicious, this kale and brussels sprouts salad is a party of flavours and textures with tart green apples, sweet pomegranate, and spicy candied hazelnuts. It’s also a bright and healthy alternative (or accompaniment!) to more indulgent, cold-weather comfort foods.

You won’t find a sad salad with wimpy lettuce here, my friends. This hearty bowl has satisfying textures in every forkful thanks to sturdy, cruciferous greens, the juicy pop of pomegranate seeds, and the candied crunch of toasted hazelnuts. You might also be interested to know this seasonally appropriate combination holds its own as an entree too (just in case you need a break between holiday meals this time of year!).

Falafel Collard Wraps

By Gayle 2 Comments

Incredibly delicious, easy falafel collard wraps filled with a flavourful, turmeric-spiked chickpea mix, creamy hummus, crunchy veggies, and tzatziki – these hearty bundles will satisfy even the most ravenous of appetites.

A grouping of prepared falafel collards wraps with two cut in half to show the fillings.

Super quick to make (25 minutes or less!) and we even get to skip the messy business of frying since the falafel mixture isn’t actually cooked at all! I guess you could say it’s a “faux-lafel” (oh yes, I’m funny too!).
