The Right Way to Use a Salad Spinner
You spin me right round. Or do you?
Tomato-Coconut Curry With Cod
This tomato curry is enriched with coconut cream and brightened with fresh basil and lime juice.
Swordfish Steaks with Asparagus Salad
This satisfying seafood dinner comes together in as little as 20 minutes. Cooking the fish, then making the warm, herby mustard dressing in the same skillet also means cleanup is a breeze.
The Addictive Avocado Dip That's Not Guacamole
Nothing against guac, of course. But this three-ingredient sauce shows that the avocado can do so much more.
Big-Batch Roasted Kale Is a Dinnertime Savior
Even though my kids won't eat it.
Shrimp and Chorizo Mixed Grill
This crowd-pleasing surf-and-turf dinner features lots of fresh spring asparagus, making it just the thing for your Memorial Day cookout.
Blondie Muffins
These vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free mini muffins are perfect for knocking out a craving for something that's sweet but still healthy. The chickpeas lend great protein and fiber, making them a wonderful post-workout pick-me-up.
Turkish Lamb Kebabs
In this recipe for classic Turkish kebabs, lamb marinates in tomato paste and a mix of spices—including cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and cumin—before hitting the grill.
Asparagus and Fontina Quiche
Ribbons of asparagus and two kinds of cheese make this spring quiche wonderfully decadent.
Lemon Salmon with Creamy Cucumber Salad
Marinate salmon in lemon zest and fresh dill, then grill and serve with crunchy chopped cucumbers draped in a coleslaw-like dressing.
Paccheri With Shellfish, Squid, and Tomatoes
Yes, seafood cooks quickly, but sometimes it's worth it to spend some time building layers of flavor into a sauce as you would with a big pot of ragù.
Malfatti with Pancetta and Cherry Tomatoes
Malfatti—literally "badly made"—are not as tricky to shape as you think. This sturdy gnocchi-esque dumpling dough is a breeze to work with.
Blistered Asparagus with Peanut Dressing
Sauté asparagus hot and fast in a skillet to soften and slightly char, then toss in a soy dressing with crushed peanuts and shredded coconut to add addictive crunch.
Tomatoes and Haricots Verts With Anchovies
This time anchovies are not optional. They're an integral ingredient here, and it's worth seeking out quality brands. We love the oil-packed ones from Ortiz, Agostino Recca, and Merro.
Romano Beans With Mustard Vinaigrette and Walnuts
Romano beans, also known as Italian pole beans, are wide and flat and have a less delicate texture than green beans but share their mild and sweet flavor.
Sugar Snap Pea Salad
Come springtime, sugar snap peas are so tender and fresh it's almost a shame to cook them. We prefer slicing them thinly and eating them raw with a simple dressing, like this creamy, tangy buttermilk one.
Grilled Red Mullet with Charred Onions and Pine Nuts
The textured sweet-and-sour condiment (agrodolce) would also be excellent spooned over vegetables or chicken or tossed with cooked grains.
Grilled Turbot with Celery Leaf Salsa Verde
Don't fret if you can’t find turbot. Look out for other flatfish such as Dover sole or flounder.
Beef Sliders with Provolone and Balsamic Onions
Macerating red onions in balsamic vinegar with a big pinch of sugar helps soften the onions and sweetens them right up.
Grain Salad with Tomatoes and Cucumbers
We call for semi-pearled grains because they cook more quickly and have a roughened-up texture that helps them soak up the dressing. Browning them first deepens their flavor.
