A Sweet Greek VinaigretteRecently I had the privilege of breaking bread, well pita, with an incredibly talented and sharp woman.  Her family has been a part of our lives for over two decades!  Where does the time go?  Anyway, we dined at Mythos, in Burlington, Ontario.  The dinner was delicious, but their Greek salad was divine.  Continue reading →

balsamic vinegar, black olives, Bread, cucumbers, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, garlic granules, honey, olive oil, pickled peppers, pita bread, radishes, Scallions, Tomatoes, wine vinegar

Fattoush-Panzanella SaladPanzanella or Fattoush?  That is the question.  In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not.   That makes no sense, does it?  At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in.  But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

Ginger…Use it Gingerly!

26 Sunday Apr 2015

ginger, honey, Onions, Spices, Tomatoes, wine vinegar
