Spring Side Salad

This Spring Side Salad is perfect as we transition out of winter. It’s great as a partner to your lunch sandwich, a BBQ dinner, or bring it to a picnic.


INGREDIENTS

Shredded Iceberg Lettuce (2 cups): Cool, crisp, and classic—the ultimate refreshing base that gives every bite that signature crunch.

Peeled Cucumber, Sliced Thin (1/4): Mild and hydrating, these thin slices add a clean, mellow layer to the mix.

Radishes, Sliced Thin (2): A peppery, snappy little addition that brings a bright bite and a pop of color.

Avocado, Rough Diced (1/2): Rich, buttery, and ultra-creamy—the perfect healthy fat to balance out the crunch.

Corn (1/2 cup): Juicy, sweet pops of gold that add a touch of sunshine and texture.

Cherry Tomatoes, Quartered (6): Bright and acidic, these little gems provide a burst of freshness in every forkful.

Large Green Olives, Sliced (3): Briny, salty, and bold—a chef-y little twist that adds a sophisticated depth.

Ranch Dressing (2 tablespoons): Cool and herbaceous, tying all the garden-fresh flavors together with a creamy finish.

Pickled Red Onion (1 tablespoon): Vibrant and tangy, these add a sharp, zesty lift that wakes up the whole bowl.

Crumbled Cotija or Feta Cheese (1 tablespoon): Salty, tangy, and just a bit funky—the perfect crumbly finish to round everything out.



HOW TO MAKE IT

Put the lettuce, cucumber, radishes, corn, tomatoes, olives and ranch dressing in a mixing bowl and mix until the vegetables are well coated by the dressing. Top with the cheese and pickled red onion. Enjoy!

Pork Carnitas

Pork Carnitas

I love cooking these pork carnitas for dinner parties — they’re easy, wildly flavorful, and they make your whole house smell like you’ve been cooking all day (even though the slow cooker did most of the work). The carnitas come out tender, shreddy, and broiled to crispy perfection. Use them in tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas… the options are endless.
