This salad skips the leaves and is made up of add-ins, but not the “guilty” kind. It combines zucchini, carrot and cabbage with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives to create a simple and healthy salad that doesn’t need the leaves to keep you slim and full. Enjoy!

Open Face Eggplant and Feta Melt
January 2, 2013 – 8:02 am
I can’t think of a better accompaniment to feta cheese than another Mediterranean mainstay: eggplant. For this recipe, I roast eggplant and top it with sliced sheep’s milk feta cheese. The softness and earthiness of the eggplant is contrasted by the saltiness and tougher texture of the cheese. Enjoy!
Walnut and Feta Endive Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
November 10, 2012 – 8:28 am
I like this salad recipe, because the endive (escarole) leaves act as a “spoon” just as much as they are part of the salad itself. This iconic combination uses feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and balsamic vinegar for a delicious and different way to get those greens in. Enjoy!
Green Leaf Fun with Tomato Buns
September 19, 2012 – 11:08 am
This is one juicy snack! It can also work as a lunch or appetizer. The tomato acts as a moisture-rich “bun” and the wilted green leaves, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, acts as the filling. It’s exceptionally light and has bold flavors from the garlic, feta, and balsamic vinegar. The tomato balances it all. [...]
Put A Carat On It: Single Girl’s Carrot Casserole
September 18, 2012 – 7:00 am
I love casseroles, but they usual imply a certain amount of decadence that I can’t stomach alone, not trust myself to not go picking at it when cravings hit late at night. So, a single serving size casserole is always a good idea. And to keep your single lady’s waistline in check but keep an [...]
Video: Greek White Bean Salad
July 3, 2012 – 10:39 am
This white bean salad is an excellent way to pack in the veggies while still getting much-needed protein. It also packs Mediterranean flavor and a diversity of textures that won’t bore you if you eat this day after day. Feel free to replace the beans with another bean or cooked legume.
Cheesy Asparagus Omelette
May 11, 2012 – 9:47 am
My local organic market only gets produce in on Saturdays, so when Fridays come, I try to use up whatever’s left hanging around and get creative with it. Today, it’s some mushrooms, cheese, onion, asparagus, and eggs. Oh, and it’s currently morning. These ingredients can only mean one thing: omelette.
Greek White Bean Salad
March 11, 2012 – 4:56 am
The best way to bulk up any salad is to add protein-rich beans. It turns a salad into a meal and adds welcome texture to a bowl of greens. In this recipe, I combine Mediterranean flavors with white beans to make a satisfying, yet light lunch or a fun side dish. Beans, beans they’re good [...]
Everyday Deuces
January 15, 2011 – 8:43 pm
My two go-to salads are 1-2-3-ready and neutral enough to have on a daily basis, but don’t let their simplicity fool you–they pack a flavor punch! The first salad I made yesterday, and it lets the green leaves do the talking. It’s abundant and a wonderful complement to a denser meal. Lemon and Scallion Green [...]
