Recipe notes

Go-To Green Salad

This mix of crisp lettuces with a tangy vinaigrette pairs well with practically everything.

Pickle Coleslaw

Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.

Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad

Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.

Fattoush Salad With Lemon-Sumac Dressing

Every salad should have pita chips.

Ensalada Rusa (Pink Potato Salad)

This Caribbean classic, made with beets for a magenta hue, looks as striking as it tastes.

Spicy Carrot Rigatoni

Hailee Catalano transforms humble carrots into a beautifully creamy pasta sauce.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Chopped Salad With Sardines and Preserved Lemon

A feel-good meal full of crunchy veg and even crunchier pita chips.
