It may seem like an odd choice to pair Parmesan alongside fennel, but the combination works well. The fennel keeps its crisp structure, even when thinly sliced, and its licorice hinted flavor beautifully complements the warm, salty, cheesy savoriness of Parmesan. Thyme and parsley provide the accents along with a simple olive oil and lemon dressing. This is a quick and easy, simple-to-make salad that would be perfect for a lunch, or as a side salad for dinner....

Nutritional yeast, found in most grocery stores, is a dairy-free seasoning that has an indulgent cheesy flavor. This tofu scramble is served over a bowl of greens, brown rice, beans, and an assortment of veggies like tomatoes, red onions, and avocado....

Marry the two and you have what must be the easiest ever cinnamon sugar cookie, or “crisp”. 4 ingredients. Just a few minutes to make, and so good! Now I’m the neighborhood lady who gives out tiny boxes of raisins on Halloween because I think kids get enough sugar as it is (don’t worry, my dad and brother come over with plenty of candy to give out so I don’t embarrass the family, and also the kids get a choice)....

Snip one stem off and two grow in its place! This is a classic Caprese salad with tomato, basil, and Mozz, that you toss with grilled corn. We got the idea from a recipe on the Food Network....

While some cooks who make this dish use the “hack” of cooking their broccoli directly in the pasta water (along with the noodles), I’ve found that it’s just as fast to cook both the chicken and broccoli separately—and it gives you a far better flavor, because you can brown the ingredients to get a little maillard reaction going (the chemical process that gives deeply browned foods their rich, savory flavor)....

Creamy Tomatillo Ranch Dressing If you’ve followed us for any time at all, you will know we are big fans of Mexican cuisine. When Cafe Rio first opened in 1997 in St. George, Utah, we were huge fans. Now they have locations all over the western United States and Maryland, but back in the day, we lived in California, Nevada, and Washington. Many of our first copycat recipes were from Cafe Rio trying to achieve the “Fresh Mex” flavors at home....

If so, you’ll love this grilled corn salad. The only thing better than corn picked during the peak of summer is the same fresh corn-on-the-cob, grilled. You get the caramelization of the natural sugars in the corn, and the warm, smoky flavors from the grill. Essentials for Grilled Corn Salad There are, I think, three essential ingredients to this salad—corn, onions, and cumin. The rest is a medley of whatever fresh vegetables you might have on hand....

This is not your basic side salad. It’s jam-packed with big flavors that start with spiced and grilled shrimp, plus grilled peppers and onions (I mean why not, the grill is already hot)—then all these grilled items get served on a base of romaine with lots of fresh vegetables and some Cotija cheese. A tangy cilantro vinaigrette then ties everything together. The salad is filling and light at the same time, if that makes sense....
