This is a more traditional Greek salad, one without lettuce, that typically consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, olives, feta, olive oil, oregano and sometime a splash of red wine vinegar. This salad is super easy to make where you basically just need to slice the veggies and you are good to go! The feta is commonly served as a big slab on top of the salad but you can also serve it with the feta crumbled. This salad makes for a great side or even a light meal and it's perfect in the summer with all of the field ripened veggies around!

I can't believe that summer is going by so quickly! This weekend is the last long weekend of the summer and it's a great opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! If you are planning on having a picnic, throwing a party of having a get together do I ever have a tasty dish for you, an avocado BLT pasta salad! This pasta salad is inspired by the BLT, a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, which only gets better with avocado so this pasta salad contains all of those ingredients along with pasta. Instead of going with regular lettuce I decided to go with baby spinach but otherwise the ingredients are the standard bacon, tomato and avocado. I don't think that you can ever have too much avocado so I went with my favourite creamy guacamole dressing which is a guacamole themed dressing with buttermilk that is so creamy and good! No matter what you're doing this weekend, this quick and easy avocado BLT pasta salad would be a perfect addition to your day!

It certainly has been hot the last few days so I thought that it would be a good idea to make a meal that did not require any cooking and that could be served chilled, this Korean style cold tofu shirataki noodle salad with shrimp. This is a noodle based salad and I went with some tofu shirataki noodles to keep things nice and easy (no cooking required!) and light (low calorie and low-carb)! For the veggies in the salad I like to go with a rainbow of colours for a nice presentation and they include green lettuce and cucumber, yellow pepper, orange carrot, red kimchi and purple cabbage. To make this salad a meal you need some meat and pre-cooked shrimp fits the bill perfectly since you don't need to cook is and it's already chilled! The final component of the salad in a simple and tasty dressing with gochugaro (Korean chili pepper flakes) for a bit of heat. If you are looking for a way to keep cool on a hot summer day, you can't go wrong with this Korean style cold tofu shirataki noodle salad with shrimp!

During the summer one of my favourite things is all of the fresh ripe tomatoes and basil and the combination of the two is absolutely fabulous! Things get even better when you add some fresh mozzarella and touch of balsamic vinegar to the mix, caprese salad style, and I often like to throw some diced avocado in as well. These caprese stuffed avocados are a slightly different take on that idea where an avocado half is filled with a mixture of diced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella tossed in a homemade basil pesto served on a bed of salad greens all topped with a drizzle of balsamic reduction! The combination of the cool and creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil pesto and tangy balsamic vinegar is simply divine; pure summer on a plate!
