Whether you’re dairy-free or not, incorporating dairy-free recipes into your routine can be beneficial to your skin, gut health, and overall wellness. But if you don’t have a wide repertoire to choose from, sacrificing dairy can mean giving up some of your favorite meals—and that’s no fun. To those seeking the best of both worlds, I present a list of dairy-free dinner recipes that ditch all of the dairy, but none of the delish.

Before my first trip to Erewhon, the internet famous LA grocery store, I obviously googled “what are the most popular items at Erewhon?” The answers ranged from the viral buffalo cauliflower to the Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie, but one that kept showing up on every list surprised me: Erewhon’s Kale and White Bean Salad. Sounded basic enough, but I tried it anyway and—let’s just say I was hooked.

This salad is so much more than the sum of its parts. Crunchy massaged kale combined with creamy avocado, crunchy seeds, protein-packed white beans all get tossed in a sweet lemony dressing that lightly coats every leaf. Addictive! Not to mention the fact that it’s incredibly nutrient-dense and fits every dietary restriction: vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, and nut free. The price point of Erewhon’s salad is the only thing that’s not anywhere close to “free,” which is why I was determined to copycat my own version of this salad at home for a fraction of the cost.

Why You’ll Love This Salad

The mix of creamy and crunchy ingredients here provide the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients to keep you fueled throughout the day. Kale is loaded with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, while white beans add a good amount of plant-based protein and fiber. Hemp, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds boost the healthy fats, and avocado adds that creamy goodness we all crave in a salad.

The best part? The dressing. With lemon, garlic, honey, and dijon, it’s tangy, slightly sweet, and brings everything together in the most delicious way.

What You’ll Need:

• kale
• white beans
• hemp seeds
• sunflower seeds (I like the sprouted ones from Thrive Market)
• pumpkin seeds (also love sprouted from Thrive)
• avocado

For the dressing:

• olive oil or avocado oil
• lemon
• honey
• dijon mustard
• garlic
• salt & pepper

How to Make it:

1. Massage the Kale: Start by removing the tough stems from your kale and tearing the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and massage the leaves with your hands for about 2-3 minutes. This step softens the kale and makes it easier to digest. You’ll know it’s ready when it starts to feel tender and reduces in size.
2. Add the Goods: Once your kale is nice and soft, toss in the white beans, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chopped avocado. The combination of the crunchy seeds and creamy avocado is chef’s kiss perfection.
3. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss it All Together: Pour the dressing over the kale mixture and give it a good toss to make sure everything is evenly coated. If you want, sprinkle a little extra hemp or pumpkin seeds on top for added crunch.

Tips for the Best Kale Salad

• Make It Ahead: This salad is perfect for meal prep because it holds up so well in the fridge. The kale and beans soak up the dressing without getting soggy, making it a great option to make in advance. If you’re prepping it for the week, I recommend leaving out the avocado and adding it right before serving to keep it fresh.
• Nutritional Boost: This salad is packed with fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats. Hemp seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. White beans are not only rich in protein, but they also help regulate blood sugar, making this salad as nutritious as it is delicious.
• Customize It: Want to add some extra protein? Grilled chicken, tofu, or a poached egg on top would be amazing. You could also sprinkle some feta or goat cheese for extra creaminess. And if you like a bit more crunch, add some toasted walnuts or almonds.

How to Store

Kale is a sturdy green, which means this salad will last 3-4 days in the fridge without wilting. Just store it in an airtight container, and like I mentioned, add the avocado right before serving to keep it from browning. It’s the perfect make-ahead lunch or side dish for a busy week.

This copycat Erewhon Kale White Bean Salad is going to become your new go-to. Whether you’re making it for a quick lunch, a side for dinner, or meal prepping for the week, it’s one of those salads that checks all the boxes: easy, healthy, and insanely good. Let me know if you try it, and tag me if you share it on Instagram! I’d love to see your version of this viral fave.

Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room: is Erewhon (aka the most luxurious grocery store in America) actually worth the hype? As someone who travels to LA quite frequently—and who tends to make Erewhon her first stop from the airport—my answer is: it depends.

If I actually lived full-time in LA, Erewhon would not be the place I’d go for my weekly grocery run. It’s probably not where you’re going to stock up on stuff for your kids’ school lunches, or toilet paper, or even produce for that matter. Unless you’re (shall we say) not on any type of budget.

But do I love to hit up Erewhon for fun little treats when I’m visiting LA? HELL YES—when it comes to my love for their adaptogenic lattés, vegan buffalo cauliflower, raw chocolate cake, and most of all, this probiotic strawberry smoothie—I’m 100% on board. It’s honestly such a fun experience to peruse all of the healthy offerings you won’t see anywhere else, and their smoothies have that certain something that elevates them above the typical smoothie you can whip up at home.

That said, since the vast majority of us don’t have a neighborhood Erewhon (or aren’t in the mood to hand over $20 for a smoothie—yes seriously!), you can bet that I was determined to make a copycat version of Erewhon’s strawberry probiotic smoothie at home. After a few iterations, I’ve finally landed on a version that packs all the flavor and nutrition as the original, at a fraction of the price.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this smoothie:

• Frozen strawberries
• Fresh strawberries
• Coconut yogurt
• Almond milk
• Collagen peptides 
• Vanilla extract
• Dates
• Ice

Tips for Success:

1. Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use organic strawberries and high-quality coconut yogurt with live probiotics. The fresh and frozen strawberries create the perfect balance of creamy texture and fresh flavor, while the yogurt adds a tangy, probiotic-rich twist.
2. Customize Your Smoothie: The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Want an extra protein boost? Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. Need more greens in your diet? Toss in a handful of spinach—it won’t affect the flavor but will up the nutritional ante.
3. Use Frozen Strawberries for Texture: While fresh strawberries add flavor, frozen ones are essential for creating that thick, creamy texture without watering down the smoothie. If you only have fresh strawberries, add more ice to reach your desired consistency.
4. Sweeten Naturally: Medjool dates are perfect for adding natural sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor. If you prefer your smoothie less sweet, start with one date and adjust to taste.
5. Blend It Right: A high-speed blender is your best friend here. It helps achieve that silky, smooth texture Erewhon is known for. If your blender struggles, try soaking the dates in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them.

Health Benefits of This Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie

1. Probiotics for Gut Health: Thanks to the coconut yogurt, this smoothie is packed with probiotics that help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for digestion, immune function, and even mood regulation.
2. Antioxidant-Rich Strawberries: Strawberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants, including vitamin C, which supports skin health, boosts the immune system, and helps fight inflammation.
3. Protein-Packed Collagen Peptides: Adding collagen peptides supports healthy hair, skin, nails, and joints. It’s also a great way to get a protein boost without adding any extra sugar or flavor.
4. Natural Energy from Dates: Dates provide natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, giving you sustained energy without the crash you’d get from refined sugars.
5. Healthy Fats from Coconut Yogurt: The healthy fats in coconut yogurt help keep you full and satisfied while providing a dose of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are great for brain health and metabolism.

So, go ahead and stock up your pantry—once you dive into these recipes, you’ll be inspired to whip up something delicious in no time.

One-Pot Vegetarian Moroccan Stew

Why We Love It: What is it about a stew that makes everything feel right with the world? This Moroccan-inspired stew is beautifully grounding, thanks to the warming spices and hearty chickpeas. I’m especially taken with the bright cilantro tossed over as a garnish. It gives a zesty kick and a burst of color.

Hero Ingredient: Tomato paste gives this stew a nice body and richness that plays perfectly with the spices.

If you’re not yet serving your favorite roasted veggies atop a dollop of tangy, feta-spiked yogurt, let this bowl be your inspiration. It’s filling and energizing—without any meat in sight.

Hero Ingredient: Harissa is this recipe’s shining star. It’s a deliciously warm blend of chili peppers, garlic, oil, and spices originating from Tunisia—and it’s the perfect finishing touch to your roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas.

Grapefruit, Avocado, and Golden Beet Salad with Crunchy Chickpeas and Feta

Why We Love It: I love this salad in the winter months when grapefruit is at its best, but truthfully, it’s so good that I happily eat it all year round. The blend of colors makes it a visual masterpiece, and the variety of textures elevates it far above your standard salad. As far as chickpea recipes go, this might be one of my favorites. As Camille says, it tastes like sunshine. How can you beat that?

Hero Ingredient: Think of golden beets as a milder, sweeter alternative to red beets. I’m obsessed.

Cumin Chickpea Salad with Mint Chutney

Why We Love It: This salad is perfect for when you need a reset. It’s light without leaving you hungry. The contrast of the spiced chickpeas with fresh veggies, punchy spiced chutney, and aromatic herbs makes for the perfect glow bowl.

Hero Ingredient: Serve the mint chutney with reckless abandon. In this case, more is more.

Herby Green Chickpea Falafel

Why We Love It: Don’t be intimidated by the thought of having to fry up falafel, because this recipe calls for baking them instead. They’re surprisingly easy to throw together and are as yummy, familiar, and comforting as the ones from your local falafel shop. You’ll find yourself coming back to this recipe again and again.

Hero Ingredient: Falafel is only as good as the herbs you pack into it. With cilantro, mint, and dill, this falafel is as fresh and as flavorful as it gets.

Classic Hummus With Marinated Chickpeas

Why We Love It: If you’ve been itching to make hummus, take this as your sign to do it this week. It’s shockingly easy to make and so much more delicious than store-bought options. The addition of the marinated chickpeas elevates the entire hummus experience. All that’s left is to pair with your favorite flatbread or chips.

Hero Ingredient: Marinated chickpeas equal next-level hummus.

Pumpkin Chickpea Curry

Why We Love It: Cozy up to a warm bowl of pumpkin channa masala next time you’re needing a bit of comfort. It’s a fragrant, sumptuous meal that hits the spot no matter the time of year. It’s always a good time to load up on pumpkin’s nutritious vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, carotenoids, fiber, and iron.

Hero Ingredient: The spice blend here is unmatched. Cinnamon, cumin, curry powder, and chili powder. How can I choose?

Chickpea, Corn, and Avocado Salad With Roasted Poblano Vinaigrette

Why We Love It: This salad is a fresh, flavorful combination that’s perfect for any season. The creamy avocado pairs beautifully with the sweet corn and protein-packed chickpeas, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and nutritious. With a zesty lime dressing, it’s a quick and easy recipe that you’ll want to make again and again. (Trust me.)

Hero Ingredient: Roasted poblano vinaigrette, where have you been all my life?

Toasted Tandoori Spice Chickpea Grain Bowl

Why We Love It: Next time you’re searching for chickpea recipes, play by this rule: a bowl will always do. This simple, spice-packed dish is a serious crowd-pleaser and couldn’t be easier to make. This bowl is all about the spice blend (it’s a long list, but you likely already have them on hand). Once those are mixed, the rest comes together in a flash.

Hero Ingredient: Toasted halloumi makes everything better. It’s as simple as that.

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Why We Love It: Get a head start on your week with this easy dish. You’ll have most of the ingredients already on hand and it’s vegetarian (though it can easily be made vegan, too). As if that weren’t enough, it also happens to be incredibly tasty. I like to double the recipe and make a big container of it on Sunday evenings. That way, I can enjoy deli-quality sandwiches all week long. (That’s right, I’ll never get tired of it.)

Hero Ingredient: The juice of half a lemon gives this chickpea salad a nice bite of acidity.

Crispy Chickpea Flour Pizza Crust

Why We Love It: The beauty of this chickpea recipe is in its wild versatility. Once you’ve prepared the chickpea, gluten-free dough, you can then build the rest of the meal however you’d like. I’m partial to a classic tomato sauce, cheese, and basil situation, but truly—the options are endless.

Hero Ingredient: Garlic powder gives this crust its unbeatable flavor.

Braised Indian Chickpea Stew

Why We Love It: Developed by Nisha Vora, the goddess of vegan cooking herself, this chickpea stew is everything you could want in a cozy, comforting meal. It’s packed with veggies aplenty, spices for days, and creamy coconut milk for that perfect finishing touch.

Hero Ingredient: Ginger yields a punchy, spicy, and fresh flavor that’s felt all throughout this delicious dish.

Root Vegetable & Quinoa Salad with Tahini-Maple Vinaigrette

Why We Love It: This is not your average grain bowl. Elevate your next lunch with this gorgeous salad. Not only is it a total textural feast for the senses thanks to the perfect assortment of veggies, but the vinaigrette packs a seriously flavorful punch. It has every element you would want from a delicious, loaded salad. You can’t go wrong.

Hero Ingredient: I’m of the opinion that using tahini as the base in your vinaigrette is always the right move.

Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

Why We Love It: That’s right—with chickpea recipes as the theme of this roundup, do you really think we could skip dessert? These cookies lean on chickpea flour as their gluten-free base, giving them a nutty, buttery bite. If you didn’t think chocolate chip cookies could be improved upon, this recipe is happy to prove you wrong.

Hero Ingredient: Finishing your cookies with a little flaky salt is key for maximizing flavor.

Just when you thought you couldn’t look at another avocado toast in your Instagram feed, we pop up with an entire post devoted to it. Yes, there are a lot of toast recipes out there—with some venturing into savory territory, like this mushroom toast with arugula, or this slow-roasted tomato and ricotta variety. There are even some that toe the line between believable and bizarre. (Hello, the yogurt toast trend that once took the internet by storm.) Despite these, avocado toast is undeniably the gold standard. After all, food trends may come and go, but the best avocado toast recipes are forever.

The Best Avocado Toast Recipes That Redefine the Trend

Avocado toast has just the right amount of good-for-you fats and energizing carbs. Plus the fact that putting it together takes less than five minutes makes it pretty much the perfect breakfast. And as we’ve learned over the past couple of years, avocado toast recipes are here to stay. That’s why we’ve taken time to reinvent the combo into something bold in flavor and rich in texture.

Ahead, you’ll find all kinds of variations on the best avocado toast recipes. Whether you’re looking for easy breakfast recipes, weekend brunch recipes, or a good ‘ole midday snack, you’ll find a new favorite or two (or three!) in these 15 avocado toast recipes. You can thank me later.

Avocado Toast with Kale Pesto and Crunchy Veggies

Why We Love It: As the name denotes, this avo toast packs a lot of crunch. With radishes (or cucumber!) and fresh herbs, there’s no shortage of texture contrast. Again, this recipe is avocado toast with an upgrade that’s welcome and appreciated. You can use any herbs you have on hand, but basil, mint, chives, and cilantro are some suggestions.

Hero Ingredient: Kale pesto tops this avocado toast with all kinds of nutty, garlicky flavor and even nutrients! It’s easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy.

Tuna and Avocado Toast with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Pesto

Why We Love It: Niçoise Salad meets avocado toast? Sounds like a dream. Toasted sourdough gets smeared with kale pesto, mashed avocado, crisp cucumber, garlicky roasted tomatoes, oil-packed tuna, and a handful of fresh basil to create something truly magical. On top of all that flavor, this recipe is packed with healthy fat and protein, which will help keep you satisfied longer. This one is on my weekday lunch calendar, and I highly encourage you to give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Hero Ingredient: Fresh basil definitely takes the cake. Give it a smack before layering it on your toast to wake up each and every aromatic note.

Sunday Night Avocado Toast with a Jammy Egg

Why We Love It: Blistered tomatoes, everything seasoning, and a perfect egg walk into a bar. Kidding, but they do make a killer toast! This recipe is basic avocado toast kicked up a notch. With those juicy tomatoes, you’re getting incredible flavor throughout that’s enhanced by that mouthwatering jammy egg and everything bagel seasoning. I mean, just look at it.

Hero Ingredient: Definitely going to have to go with that egg. By following the eight-minute method, you’re getting an egg that’s perfectly set with just the right amount of runny yolk. I’m into it.

Avocado Toast With Egg & Frisée

Why We Love It: If you’re looking to change things up, try this recipe with frisée (also known as curly endive) and a great whole-grain mustard for some extra tang. It takes all the familiar avocado toast components and shakes them up with peppery frisée and spicy stone ground mustard. Plus, a classic fried egg laid over top gives this toast the perfect amount of ooze to warm your soul.

Hero Ingredient: I love the addition of mustard. It brings a lot of flavor and even a little kick to the party.

Avocado Toast Bar

Why We Love It: When our favorite toast meets hosting, all is right in the world. That’s exactly the case with this DIY avocado toast bar. Make it a reality at your next brunch by choosing your favorite toppings, setting the stage, and having everyone dig in to craft their own creations. A few fun topping ideas are watermelon radishes, chickpeas, beets, sprouts, fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Only half of the fun lies in creating your own—that other half is reserved for finding out what your guests made.

Hero Ingredient: Since the toppings are so customizable, I’m going with a hero method. To make things easier on yourself, you can prep all of your toppings ahead of time so all that’s left to do when you’re ready to serve is slice those avocados and toast some bread!

Avocado Wasa Cracker Breakfast Toast

Why We Love It: This avocado cracker/toast hybrid is totally delicious. And unbelievably easy. All you have to do is lay out a few multigrain crackers of your choosing, top with eggs and radish, and finish each cracker off with olive oil, fresh dill, red pepper flakes, and s&p. Once you’ve done that, you’ve got a crunchy and sustainable meal or snack for any time of day. The best part? It only takes about ten minutes.

Hero Ingredient: I love sprinkling red pepper flakes on my avocado toast. It brings just the right amount of kick to each tasty bite.

Smashed Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: If you thought you knew upgraded avocado toast recipes, think again. This version from Two Hands NYC takes things to the next level. At its core, it’s just like any of the other avocado toast recipes you know and love, which start with a base of thick-sliced, crusty sourdough bread smeared with mashed avocado. But as we advance to the toppings, things get interesting. In addition to perfectly poached eggs, this toast houses pickled red onions, pickled or fresh Fresno chiles, salty pepitas, and a handful of mixed fresh herbs. It’s a combination you won’t want to miss.

Hero Ingredient: This recipe swaps red pepper flakes for thinly-sliced Fresno chiles, which bring even more heat to the table.

Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Yogurt, Herbs, and Everything Spice

Why We Love It: As promised, this is where the non-toast avocado toast recipes come to fruition. Not only are sweet potatoes loaded with good nutritional properties like high fiber levels, immune-strengthening abilities, and positive gut benefits, they’re absolutely delicious. Truly, I could eat them every day (and sometimes do!). For this “toast” recipe, they get roasted until they’re caramelized and topped with, well, whatever you want! Fresh herbs, Greek yogurt, avocado, and sriracha make a winning team.

Hero Ingredient: I have to go with the sweet potatoes themselves. The secret is to sear the potatoes in a skillet after they finish roasting. That way, they become completely caramelized with just-burnt edges to usher in a hint of bitterness. Think really toasty marshmallow.

Spicy Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: In the scheme of avocado toast recipes, this is one tried-and-true toast. This recipe takes you back to the basics with a simple but lovable combination of toast, avocado, fried eggs, red pepper flakes, and fresh cilantro. It’s a formula you can never go wrong with. Like your favorite sweater or blanket, it’s comforting and constant.

Hero Ingredient: A healthy squeeze of lime over top brings a citrusy tang that complements the creamy avocado.

Sweet Potato Guacamole Toasts

Why We Love It: And we’re back with more sweet potatoes! In this recipe, they’re sliced, roasted, and topped with red onion, watermelon radish, microgreens, cilantro, lime juice, and—of course—avocado. They’re cut into the cutest handheld shapes that are so easy to grab and snack on. While this can definitely be breakfast or lunch, those little potato toasts make a pretty great snack, too. What’s not to love?

Hero Ingredient: The warm bit of heat that raw red onion brings to these toasts is unmatched—a welcome divergence from your OG avo toast.

Hummus Avocado Toast with Toasted Hemp Seeds from Eating Bird Food

Why We Love It: Hummus in avocado toast recipes is something you don’t see every day, which is what makes it so great. A good garlicky hummus to accompany that creamy avocado, red onion, cayenne pepper, and toasted hemp seeds makes all the difference. Because hummus and avocado have a similar texture, the hemp seeds bring a nice bite to the toast.

Hero Ingredient: Hemp seeds not only bring the crunch here, but they’re packed with nutritional value as well. One serving, or about three tablespoons, contains eight grams of protein, nine grams of fiber, and a whole ‘lotta omega-3 fatty acids. Sounds like a win-win.

Avocado Toast With Gorgonzola, Pears, & Toasted Walnuts from How Sweet Eats

Why We Love It: When it comes to the top loaded avocado toast recipes, this one is definitely high on the list. With smashed avocado laying the groundwork for blue cheese, thinly-sliced pear, toasted walnuts, and a honey drizzle, you’ll want to pour a glass of crisp white as you savor each and every flavor this toast celebrates. These are perfect to serve as an appetizer, enjoy as a lunch or dinner, or snack on as a midday indulgence. However you slice it, don’t miss out on this one.

Hero Ingredient: The walnuts get toasted with a hint of cinnamon, giving a warm and complex flavor to supplement the savory notes. And with a honey drizzle over top, you’ve created something with all kinds of depth.

Avocado Toast 5 Ways from Love & Lemons

Why We Love It: There’s nothing wrong with thinly sliced avocado layered atop a piece of toast. Sometimes, the best avocado recipes are simple to their core. But when you want to switch things up, make these brilliant variations your go-to. From Banh Mi to Roasted Chickpea & Harissa—and everything in between—these recipes are all the motivation you need to get creative in the kitchen.

Hero Ingredient: There’s nothing like a salty caper bringing a bit of brine to each bite.

The Best Avocado Egg Salad

Why We Love It: I’ve often wondered what the true definition of a salad is. I mean, if it can be composed of veggies, fruits, and even jello… then I’ll happily fold avocado into my egg salad and call it good. Rather than using mayo as the base—which can get gloppy and overpower the egg—avocado takes its place. It’s a genius and undeniably delicious take on the classic avocado and egg combo.

Hero Ingredient: Fresh herbs are crucial in giving this salad all of its flavor. Add the dill with a heavy hand—you’ll love its bright, herbaceous bite.

Grilled Corn and Feta Egg in a Hole Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: As promised, this is one of the more elevated avocado toast recipes on the list. There are a ton of interesting flavors to unpack. Avocado is mashed and perfectly seasoned with a squeeze of lemon juice and salt. The toast is topped with charred corn, giving it a nice, caramelized bite. Then nectarines, feta, red pepper flakes, and fresh torn basil finish it off. Heaven.

Hero Ingredient: There are so many contenders for the hero ingredient of this recipe, but the egg cracked into the center of the cut-out bread gives the entire toast a perfectly jammy, rich flavor.

For me, the perfect summer evening includes laid-back vibes and friends gathered around the grill. And more often than not lately, our grill is full of these spice-rubbed grilled chicken thighs that are about as carefree (and flavor-packed) as it gets. Not only are they faster to make than ordering takeout—they also happen to be an incredibly budget-friendly option for serving a crowd. These flavor-packed chicken thighs have become our go-to for effortless hosting that let me savor every moment of the season.

Chicken Thighs vs. Chicken Breast: The Great Debate

I certainly used to be team white meat, but over the years, I’ve learned firsthand why most chefs will take thighs over breast any day. Because chicken thighs have more fat content compared to chicken breasts, they’re usually richer, juicier, and more flavorful. This also means they’re less likely to dry out on the grill.

Feel-Good Flavor

These grilled chicken thighs are not only delicious—they’re also packed with nutrients. Chicken thighs are:

• High in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair
• Rich in iron, essential for healthy blood cells
• A good source of zinc, boosting immune function
• Packed with B vitamins, vital for energy production

Plus, grilling is a healthier cooking method that requires little to no added fats.

Tips for Juicy Grilled Chicken Thighs

• Bring the chicken to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness without overcooking.
• Let the chicken rest after grilling to retain its juices before you slice into it.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices in the marinade to suit your taste.

What to Serve With Spice-Rubbed Chicken Thighs

• A crisp summer salad.
• Refreshing watermelon and feta—with a spicy kick.
• A summer classic: simple potato salad with smoked chili aioli.
• A chilled glass of rosé or sparkling water with lemon.

This grilled chicken thigh recipe is more than just a meal—it’s an invitation to slow down, gather with loved ones, and relish in the simple pleasures of summer. So fire up that grill, and make some memories around the table this season!

There’s nothing better than cold slices of watermelon devoured at the height of summer. It’s a near perfect experience—but might I suggest a little flaky salt on that melon? And how about some chunks of creamy feta and perhaps a few torn basil leaves? What can I say, when it comes to flavor enhancers, I’m a bit of a maximalist. I’m always in pursuit of that perfect bite. This spicy watermelon feta salad comes together with just a handful of ingredients, but it packs such a flavor punch that’s so much more than the sum of its parts. Call me obsessed.

Watermelon and feta are a classic combo for a reason (see my Watermelon Greek Salad.) The sweet and juicy melon is a perfect foil for salty feta, plus that crisp, cold texture against the creaminess of the cheese. This duo is a great example of two contrasting flavors coming together to create a balanced dish.

I’ve been making this on the weekend to accompany grilled chicken or steak, with a baked potato or grilled corn. It makes a tasty side for just about any al fresco dinner party, and it’s a pretty stellar workday lunch, too. I promise that once you’ve tried it, it’ll be on repeat all summer. Read on for my tips on bringing this spicy watermelon feta salad together.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we start, let’s gather our ingredients. This salad is packed with nutrients, from hydrating watermelon to protein-rich feta. The fresh herbs add antioxidants, and the spicy jalapeño has shown to be metabolism-boosting. For this recipe, you’ll need:

• Lime (we’re using the zest and the juice)
• Honey
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Red onion
• Jalapeño
• Seedless watermelon
• Block of feta
• Basil leaves

How to Make Spicy Watermelon Feta Salad

1. Make the Dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime zest and juice with the honey and olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. This dressing brings a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the salad’s spicy and savory elements.

2. Marinate the Onion and Jalapeño

Add the thinly sliced red onion and jalapeño to the bowl with the dressing. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the onion and jalapeño to soften slightly and absorb the tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors of the dressing.

3. Prepare the Watermelon

Cut your mini watermelon into bite-sized chunks and place them in a serving bowl. If you’re short on time, you can often find pre-cut watermelon at your local grocery store.

4. Combine the Ingredients

Spoon the marinated onions and chiles over the watermelon chunks. Use your hands to gently toss everything together, ensuring the watermelon is well-coated with the flavorful dressing.

5. Add the Feta and Basil

Top the salad with slices of feta cheese and fresh basil leaves. The creamy, salty feta contrasts beautifully with the sweet watermelon, while the basil adds a fresh, aromatic note.

6. Final Touches

Pour any remaining dressing over the salad, ensuring all the flavors are evenly distributed. Garnish with flaky salt for an extra touch of flavor and crunch.

Tips for the Perfect Spicy Watermelon Feta Salad

• Adjust the heat. If you like it on the mild side, start with fewer jalapeño slices and add more to taste.
• Freshness is key. Use the freshest ingredients you can find. Fresh watermelon, high-quality feta, and vibrant herbs make all the difference.
• A feast for the senses. For a beautiful presentation, arrange the salad on a large platter. The vibrant colors of the watermelon, herbs, and feta make this salad as visually appealing as it is delicious.

This potato, goat cheese, and asparagus frittata is one of the recipes I make at home most often. So often, in fact, that I barely consider it a recipe—which is probably why I’ve never shared it here! And it’s time to remedy that, since I’m a firm believer that everyone should have a great frittata recipe in their back pocket. With spring veggies filling up farmers market stalls, this is the perfect time to celebrate all those beautiful bursting-with-flavor ingredients.

This easy frittata combines the earthiness of asparagus and mushrooms with the creaminess of goat cheese—and the sliced baby potatoes make it hearty. The result is satisfying and cozy, and it happens to be an incredibly healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

How to Make a Frittata

One of the main reasons I love a frittata? It’s more of a formula than a recipe—which means it’s the perfect recipe for cleaning out your veggie drawer since you can swap in whatever you have on hand. Here’s the basic step-by-step method for making a frittata with any type of vegetable—master this, then get creative:

1. Preheat your broiler and prep the veggies.
2. Sauté your veggies in an oven-safe skillet, starting with the hardest veggies (like potatoes, that take longest to cook) and ending with the softest veggies (like asparagus, that needs just a couple minutes.)
3. Beat the eggs with a little milk, and pour them over the veggies. Add cheese if desired.
4. Transfer the entire pan to the oven and broil until eggs are set and golden brown on top.
5. Garnish with herbs and eat!

It’s really that easy, and I’m just as inclined to whip up a single-serve frittata for a simple weekday lunch as I am to make it for a gathering. (I served this one at the Mother’s Day Brunch we hosted in my backyard.)

Tips for Success

• Use fresh, seasonal produce from your local farmers market for the best flavor and quality.
• Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are just tender before adding the eggs to avoid ending up with crunchy veggies in your frittata.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet, which can lead to a soggy frittata as the vegetables will “steam” instead of sauté.

Ingredient Swaps to Try

• Swap the goat cheese for feta or shredded mozzarella for a different flavor profile. Or if you’re dairy free, feel free to skip the cheese altogether.
• Make it heartier (more quiche-like!) with a sprinkle of diced cooked bacon or sausage.
• Swap sweet potatoes for baby potatoes if that’s your thing.

With its rainbow of fresh veggies and creamy goat cheese, this potato, goat cheese, and asparagus frittata is a delicious way to welcome the season. Whether you’re enjoying it for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, this dish will always satisfy. So this weekend, why not head to the farmers market, gather whatever fresh ingredients catch your eye, and let the flavors of spring inspire your next meal.

1. Preheat the broiler of your oven, with the top rack 8 – 12″ from the broiler unit. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
2. Add sliced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they turn bright green and slightly tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. While the veggies are cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Using a spatula, evenly distribute the veggies in the pan and lightly flatten them. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle the goat cheese evenly over the top. Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and broil just until the top is turning golden and cheese is melted. Watch it closely, this happens fast!
7. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs, then slice and serve warm.

It’s true what they say: the best things in life are often the simplest. And nowhere is that more true than with toast, also known as one of the greatest foods on earth. Whether it’s topped with avocado and smoked salmon or simply slathered with jam, toast is not only a perfect flavor combo, for me, it also signifies ultimate comfort.

Growing up, a sick day meant toast and tea curled up on the couch with a movie. And there’s one toast memory I’ll never forget. After a 30-hour labor giving birth to my daughter, my mom brought me my favorite fruit and nut bread, toasted and slathered with butter. Nothing had ever tasted better (and I’d never been hungrier.)

Why I’m Eating Sourdough Bread Again

Which brings me to this ricotta toast recipe. I’ve always loved the combination of creamy ricotta cheese slathered onto toasted sourdough. When it comes to texture combinations, it honestly doesn’t get better. But since adopting a grain-free diet last summer, toast has been off the menu. Until recently. I’ve slowly been starting to reincorporate a bit of sourdough back into my diet, and so far—my gut issues haven’t resurfaced. In my research, here’s what I learned:

The fermentation process that gives the bread its distinctive sour taste also makes it more gut-friendly. Millions of people are suffering from digestive malaise, and if you’re sensitive to foods containing gluten or have irritable bowel syndrome, sourdough bacteria’s ability to break down flour has never been more important. – Vanessa Kimbell via Bon Appetit

It’s fascinating! And it’s key to make sure that what you’re getting is “real” sourdough that’s been slowly leavened, not simply store-bought bread with a sour flavor that’s been leavened with fast-rising yeast. I’ll keep you guys posted on my sourdough journey, but in the meantime—let’s talk about this ricotta toast! First thing to mention: this recipe is so simple that it may not even feel like a recipe. However, it’s one of those delicious bites that is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Let’s dive in.

Ricotta: Store-Bought vs. Homemade

When deciding whether to use store-bought ricotta versus making your own, there’s no right answer: both can be absolutely delicious, and it comes down to how much time you have. I shared many years ago how I make my own ricotta at home, and I’m still using the same method—it’s one of the most satisfying and delicious ingredients to make, and you’ll be shocked at how easy it is.

That said, there is zero shame in purchasing a high-quality ricotta from the grocery. You’ll just want to make sure that it’s full-fat (made from whole milk). A lot of what’s on the shelves is the “part-skim ricotta,” which I would only use in a recipe like lasagna. For this, you’re gonna want the creamy goodness of full fat.

Ricotta Toast Toppings

For this version, I wanted to highlight the simple flavors of the crusty sourdough toast with the creamy ricotta, so I kept toppings at a minimum: honey, chopped pistachios, thyme, flaky salt, and Aleppo pepper. However, ricotta toast lends itself to all kinds of creative inspiration. Here are a few topping ideas I’ve tried and loved:

• Banana and granola
• Melon and mint
• Blackberries and lime zest
• Radishes and chives
• Slow-roasted tomatoes and basil
• Pears with honey

Health Benefits of Ricotta Toast

Sourdough bread. Unlike conventional breads, sourdough undergoes a fermentation process that gives its signature tangy flavor and enhances its gut-friendly properties. This slow fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it easier to digest and (as discussed above) sometimes reducing digestive discomfort for those with sensitivities.

Whole-milk ricotta cheese offers a dose of protein and calcium, essential nutrients for muscle repair and bone health.

Honey is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants and soothing properties, pistachios provide healthy fats and fiber, and thyme is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Each bite of this ricotta toast is both indulgent and nourishing.

You are going to love this ricotta toast for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Let me know if you give it a try—and if you have any sourdough/gut health stories to share, I’d love to hear in the comments. Scroll on for the recipe for this easy and delicious ricotta toast.

So today, I’m sharing my current favorite protein-packed breakfast that’s not eggs—this Grain-Free Overnight “Oatmeal.” And we’re teaming up with Target to prove that breakfast isn’t just an opportunity to fuel our bodies—it’s a chance to nourish our mornings with small moments of joy.

The post This Grain-Free Overnight “Oatmeal” Is the Protein-Packed Breakfast You Didn’t Know You Needed appeared first on Camille Styles.

When I recently posted on Instagram that I’ve been eating 1/2 cup of this homemade, gut-healing yogurt every day, I was flooded with requests to share all the details. And honestly, I’m not surprised—this yogurt is incredible, and I wish I’d discovered it years ago! It’s so much more powerful than the yogurt you buy at the grocery store, I hesitate to even call it “yogurt.” Consider it more of a wellness tool—a probiotic powerhouse that nourishes your body and boosts vitality. So today, I’m sharing exactly how to make your own L. Reuteri yogurt, a delicious homemade yogurt recipe that’s about to change your health game.

But first, watch me make it in the video below!

Why Focus on Healing the Gut?

If you’ve been around here awhile, you know that the gut is the cornerstone of our well-being, influencing everything from energy levels to mood and digestion.  I’ve been sharing a lot about my own efforts to heal my gut—switching to a grain-free diet has been a big part of that journey. Now that I’ve laid the foundation, I’m able to start incorporating tools, like this L. Reuteri yogurt, to continue reaching higher levels of health and vibrancy.

Health Benefits of L. Reuteri Yogurt

I make a batch of this yogurt at the beginning of the week, then eat about ½ cup every day. Here are some of the benefits I’ve noticed:

• Better digestion from all the probiotics and prebiotics
• More energy, which comes from a healthier gut and all the good protein found in this yogurt
• Better mood—it may sound crazy, but the brain-gut connection is real. A common side effect of improving your gut flora is a reduction in brain fog, better mood, and clearer thinking. I’ll take it!

What You Should Know About L. Reuteri Yogurt

Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is a type of probiotic (“good” bacteria) normally found in the digestive tract. “Good” bacteria like L. reuteri help break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off organisms that might cause diseases. L. reuteri can be added to fermented foods like this yogurt, and is also found in probiotic supplements. I learned about the benefits of L. Reuteri Yogurt from the book Super Gut, a must-read for anyone dealing with sluggish digestion or GI issues, including SIBO. This yogurt isn’t just food; it’s truly a gut-healing elixir.

Why Not Just Buy Your Yogurt?

While store-bought yogurts boast live probiotics, the potency of L. Reuteri yogurt is in a whole different ballpark. In this recipe, we’re using more traditional yogurt-making mehtods by prolonging fermentation times and adding prebiotic fibers to “feed” the bacteria. Our homemade version cooks at 100 degrees for 36 hours, allowing L. Reuteri bacteria to flourish. When these bacteria colonize your gut, they offer profound health benefits.

Here’s What You Need to Make Your Own Yogurt

When I first heard about making your own yogurt, I thought it sounded like a lot of work. Yet, with a simple and affordable yogurt maker, it turns out that it’s incredibly easy. Our goal? To make a yogurt that is both delicious and packed with probiotics. I’m also making a coconut yogurt for all my dairy-free friends—and yes, you’re going to get alll the same probiotic benefits from the coconut yogurt as you do from the dairy version!

Ingredients for L. Reuteri Yogurt

• For the classic L. Reuteri Yogurt: Whole milk or half-and-half, Osfortis probiotic, and inulin.
• For the dairy-free Coconut Yogurt: Coconut milk, agar agar, sugar, arrowroot starch, and Osfortis probiotic.

The Two-Step Process

1. Make a Slurry: This step ensures smooth texture without clumps—you’re going to blend the thickening agents with just a little liquid. Then you’ll add the remaining liquid.
2. Set and Forget: Pour the mixture into your yogurt maker, set at 100 degrees for 36 hours, and let the magic happen.

How to Incorporate L. Reuteri Yogurt Into Your Diet

Y’all know that I do not eat boring meals, so here are a few ways I like to “dress up” this yogurt in delicious breakfasts, snacks, or even desserts throughout the week:

• AM Classic: Combine with grain-free granola, banana, berries, and a drizzle of honey.
• Savory Twist: Top with roasted golden beets, pecans, and arugula for a surprising blend.
• Evening Treat: Mix with chocolate protein powder, then top with strawberries and cocoa nibs.

Gut-Healing and Delicious

Again, calling this recipe “yogurt” feels like an understatement. It’s truly a tool for gut health, a companion on your journey to wellness, and thankfully, it’s also incredibly delicious. If you’re on a gut health journey, I’d encourage you to dive into making your own L. Reuteri yogurt! And please share your experience in the comments below—I promise, your gut will thank you.

Last month, Adam and I visited Mexico City for the first time. It’s a place that’s long been on my list, and I couldn’t wait to experience its vibrant art scene, beautiful parks, and (of course) the food. 

Mexico City has established itself as arguably the most exciting food city in the world, and the restaurants we experienced during our quick 48-hour trip did not disappoint. Thankfully, our pilgrimage-worthy meal at Contramar was every bit as special as I’d imagined. The vibe is warm and bustling—every lunch service feels like a party at a cool friend’s house. And the perfect seafood dishes turned out by renowned chef Gabriela Cámara most definitely live up to the hype. 

Of course, we had to order the famous red and green grilled snapper (and yes, it was as amazing as I’d heard), but the raw tuna tostadas made us swoon. So much so, that we were determined to make our own version back home. 

Spicy Tuna Tostada With Avocado and Crispy Shallots

I’ll be honest, the mezcal paloma made my exact recollection of this dish a tad fuzzy. Consider this my very loose (but still delicious) adaptation of the tuna tostadas from Contramar. We’ve been making these on repeat, and they’re destined to become our go-to weekend lunch this summer, preferably enjoyed with our feet in the pool. (And yes, mezcal paloma in hand.)

One added bonus to this dish is that the components can be quickly prepped in advance. That way, when it’s time to eat, you can set out the tostadas and toppings and let everyone build their own. Scroll on for a few tips on making these tuna tostadas. And if you tend to steer away from serving raw fish at home, I got you.

Ingredients for Tuna Tostadas

Sushi-Grade Tuna

The star of these tostadas is sushi-grade tuna, selected for its superior quality and freshness. Tuna’s vibrant color and buttery texture make it the perfect candidate for raw preparation. 

Soy-Sesame Marinade

A mixture of soy sauce, a dash of sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, finished with finely chopped green onions. It’s a savory, sweet, and umami combo that infuses the tuna with so much flavor.

Tostada Chips OR Sieté Cassava Tortillas

Opt for your favorite crispy corn tostadas or (do as I do) bake a Siete tortilla in the oven until crisp for a grain-free and gluten-free tostada. 

Chipotle Aioli

A creamy element that’s simply mayonnaise blended with chipotle powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce adds a smoky, tangy layer that beautifully complements the tuna’s richness.

Avocado

Chopped avocado adds a creamy, lush texture that rounds out this dish.

Our Toppings: Cilantro & Crispy Shallots

Finish it off with the crunch and freshness of cilantro and crispy shallots—they also add an artful element to the visual presentation.

How to Buy and Prepare Raw Seafood at Home

If you typically leave the raw seafood to your favorite sushi restaurant, you’re not alone. I used to be intimidated to make raw fish dishes at home—or afraid that I might give us all food poisoning! With a little research and experience, I soon discovered that it’s simple with just a little know-how. 

When selecting sushi-grade tuna, visit a reputable fishmonger. I usually get mine from the fish department at Whole Foods or Central Market. That way, I can also chat with the fishmonger to check that it’s been handled and stored properly for raw consumption. This ensures the fish has been frozen to the proper temperature to kill any parasites, making it safe to eat raw. You can simply ask the fishmonger whether they have “sushi grade tuna.” And if the answer is yes? It’s all good to thaw and eat, no cooking required.

Tips for Tuna Tostadas Success

Marinate Your Tuna

The sweet soy-sesame marinade infuses the tuna with all that good flavor, so allow the tuna to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Crisp Your Shallots

Crispy shallots are one of those finishing touches that feel restaurant-worthy, but they’re so worth making at home. All you have to do is thinly slice the shallots (I like to use a mandoline to make it easy on myself), then quickly fry them, and drain off the oil. You’re left with the most delicious little crispies that are soooo good on these tuna tostadas.

Assemble With Care

The beauty of this dish lies in its symphony of flavor and texture, so I like to be thoughtful in the order that I add the toppings. I spread a bit of the aioli over the tostada base, followed by the marinated tuna and avocado (chopped in similarly-sized pieces for the prettiest presentation). Add the crispy shallots and a few fresh cilantro leaves. Remember, you eat with your eyes first!

Ingredients

Units USM

• 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, chopped into 1” pieces
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (I like to toast them first)

• 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
• olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
• 1 avocado, pitted and chopped into 1” pieces
• fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Marinate the tuna. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce and sugar. Warm over medium heat until just beginning to simmer, whisk together until the sugar dissolves, then turn the heat off and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the sesame oil, seeds, and green onions and whisk to combine. When the mixture is room temperature, add the tuna, toss well in the marinade, then cover and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make the chipotle aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. Fry the shallots. In a small sauté pan, coat the bottom with about ¼” of your frying oil. Heat over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles in it, then add your sliced shallot. Fry until golden, then stir the shallots around the pan until they’re all golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. If using grain-free tortillas, place on a baking sheet and bake in a 400 F oven for about 8 minutes, until crisp. 
5. When ready to serve, spread a small spoonful of aioli over each tostada base. Top with your marinated tuna, evenly distribute the chopped avocado between the tuna pieces, then garnish with crispy shallots and cilantro leaves. Eat!

Earlier this week, I watched an interview with legendary music producer Rick Rubin. In it, he described himself as more of a “reducer” than a producer. When he’s in the studio, his aim is to strip the music down, “just to see what’s actually necessary. Getting it down to that essence is really helpful in understanding what it is.” His words resonated with my own pull toward simplicity this yea. Whether it’s editing a story, styling a room, or creating a recipe—getting down to the essence of anything requires a commitment to dig deep. You can’t dial it in when something is made up of just a few parts. Each one has to be necessary and it has to be great. One shining example of this approach is the simple green salad at beloved NYC restaurant Via Carota. If you know, you know.

Walking into Via Carota is like entering a friend’s home in the Italian countryside. (The fantasy version.) You’re greeted by exposed brick walls, charming antiques, rustic plates of shared pasta, and a cluster of people waiting for a table. If you look closely, you’ll notice a plethora of towering green salads on the center of tables, with artfully arranged layers of ruffly Bibb, little gem, and frisée lettuces tossed with a shallot vinaigrette. It’s striking in its simplicity, yet looks and tastes undeniably special. Those who frequent Via Carota know not to miss ordering what is truly the best simple green salad on the planet.

How to Make the Perfect Simple Green Salad

I’ve been slowly perfecting my own version of the perfect simple green salad. It’s inspired by Via Carota’s but with a few twists that make it my own. I’ve landed on our family’s favorite that I’ve been making nightly, tossing whatever mixed lettuces we have in the fridge together, then stacking them in my perfect wood salad bowl. We’ve started calling it our “house salad,” and each Sunday, I blend up a batch of our house vinaigrette and pour it into a mason jar so I have it at the ready for salads all week.

What makes this salad different from Via Carota’s Insalata Verde?

Although the simplicity and overall flavors of this salad are inspired by the one at Via Carota, this isn’t a copycat version. If you want the exact recipe, grab their cookbook and enjoy. As authors Jody Williams and Rita Sodi say, “We are devoted to this salad. We eat it every day. We crave it, and it’s at our dinner table nightly. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.”

I used their recipe as a jumping off point and made a few changes based on my own leanings.

The Mixed Lettuces

In Via Carota’s version, butter lettuce, frisée, little gem, watercress, and endive are tossed together. But it can be tricky to find little gem, and I’ve realized that a great substitution is to use the hearts (the inner leaves) of romaine, chopped into 3” lengths. I also don’t love buying tiny $5 heads of endive on the regular, so my version omits those and instead keeps it to three types of lettuces:

• Butter lettuce (often labeled Bibb or Boston lettuce)
• Romaine lettuce (inner leaves only)
• Arugula for its peppery kick.

However, the beauty of having your own “house salad” is that you can sub in whatever mixed lettuces you have in your produce drawer. Add radicchio, baby spinach, iceberg lettuce, or red leaf lettuce! I’d stay away from kale and other cruciferous greens for this one since we want the end result to be light and airy.

I’ve also take some liberty with the fresh herbs used, which give this salad its intriguing, can’t-quite-put-your-finger-on-it specialness. I like to use mint and chives in this salad, but the sky’s the limit. You just want your herbs to be of the fresh variety (not woody), which means that cilantro, parsley, dill, and basil are all fair game. Rosemary, thyme, and sage are not. (See our handy guide to keeping herbs fresh in the refrigerator.)

The Salad Dressing

I’ve shared my Sunday night vinaigrette in our Breathing Space newsletter, but I think this is the first time I’ve posted it here on the site. Get excited, because it’s my favorite dressing in the world. It shares the shallot-forward flavors of Via Carota’s vinaigrette but adds Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey. I truly don’t think it could be better.

The Walnuts

Okay, here’s where I took some real liberties—Via Carota’s green salad has absolutely no nuts whatsoever. No breadcrumbs, no seeds, no accoutrements. But for a salad to earn its “best green salad” standing in our house, I needed to add a touch of crunch in the form of toasty, buttery, finely chopped walnuts that play so perfectly against the freshness of all those greens. If you’re now protesting that I’ve dramatically diverged from the original, you’re right—and you can leave them out. But I don’t recommend it (hehe).

Roll up your sleeves and prepare to use your hands—here are a few tips for success to nail the perfect green salad every time.

Dry Your Lettuces Completely

The Via Carota recipe calls for a double wash and extensive drying regimen. Great for a restaurant setup, but I’m giving you permission to wash your lettuces once, then dry them in a salad spinner or in paper towels at home. The key is to make sure they’re completely and totally dry. I like to wrap them up in a clean dishtowel while I’m prepping other ingredients to make sure they’re good to go. The reason for this is that we want the vinaigrette to lightly coat each leaf of lettuce. Since water and oil don’t mix, dryness is key before drizzling with the olive oil and vinegar based dressing.

Use Your Biggest Bowl for Tossing

I wouldn’t ask you to use two bowls unless it was absolutely necessary—I detest washing dishes and avoid dirtying extra dishes at all cost. However, here it’s a must. Use the biggest mixing bowl you own to add all your lettuces. You’ll use way more than you think you’ll need because they shrink down when coated with vinaigrette. Toss them thoroughly in this mixing bowl, then get out your handmade wood salad bowl and transfer by the handful, stacking up each bunch of lettuces into a ruffly tower.

Use Your Hands

Pull up your sleeves and use those hands to toss together the lettuces and herbs with the vinaigrette, plus the salt and liberal amounts of freshly ground black pepper. Trust me, you cannot get the same effect using tongs or spoons. You’re massaging the dressing and seasonings into the lettuce so that it barely coats each leaf and everything is evenly distributed.

Toss It With Dressing Right Before Serving

Although you can prep your lettuce in advance—wash, dry, and put in a big mixing bowl in the fridge—you’ll want to wait until right before serving to toss it with the vinaigrette and top with your walnuts. That way, your salad stays fresh, perky, and not at all soggy.

Optional Ingredients

One of the beautiful things about having a standby simple green salad recipe is that you can riff off the original and adapt it to be a first course or perfect side dish to whatever you’re making. Some of my favorite add-ins based on my mood are:

• Freshly shaved Parmesan
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Finely chopped and toasted almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds (in place of the walnuts)
• Crumbled goat cheese or feta
• Green olives (I like to use pitted and halved Castelvetrano olives)
• Thinly sliced red onion
• Shaved fennel
• Grated carrots
• Thinly sliced cucumber

‘Tis the season for getting back into the weeknight groove of simple, delicious and healthy dinners—and this 10-minute hot honey salmon recipe certainly checks all the boxes. We eat salmon a lot in our household (it’s one of the few proteins that all four of us will happily devour), so I’m always looking for ways to add a new twist. Thankfully, interesting doesn’t have to mean complicated. The sweet and spicy glaze combined with a coconut crunch topping proves that just a few ingredients can pack a punch. Pop it under the broiler in your oven and you’ve got a delicious salmon dinner on your hands.

Why You’ll Love This Hot Honey Salmon Recipe

What really takes this salmon recipe over the top is the combination of sweet and spicy flavors in the honey glaze, plus the garlicky crunch of the coconut topping. It all comes together for a flavor profile that’s actually addictive, which isn’t a bad thing when you’re talking about a beautiful piece of salmon packed with protein, iron, vitamin B-12, and super healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Plus, you can’t overstate the beauty of a dinner that comes together in under 10 minutes. It’s easy enough for busy spring weeknights, and special enough to serve for a weekend dinner with friends.

Ingredients for Hot Honey Salmon With Coconut Crunch

Here’s a rundown of what you’ll need to make this hot honey salmon recipe.

Salmon. For this recipe, I like to buy a 1-pound fillet of salmon and cut it into smaller pieces. You can either have the fishmonger remove the skin for you (which will make it easier to cut), or you can bake it with the skin on and it’ll slide right off when it comes out of the oven. Here’s a handy guide to buying the best salmon when you’re at the grocery store.

Hot honey. You’ve likely seen this trendy flavor profile on restaurant menus, and while you could purchase jarred hot honey, may I recommend my two-ingredient homemade version? Just combine 1 part sriracha with 3 parts honey, and you’ve got yourself a very spicy, very delicious hot honey glaze.

Coconut crunch. Ever since I landed on this toasted coconut crunch topping, I’ve been wanting to put it on everything. You warm a little olive oil in a skillet, then toast up garlic slices, sliced chili (because we need more heat, lol), and coconut flakes until it all becomes sweet and nutty. It’s the perfect topping for this salmon, or just about any “bowl” you whip up all season. I do recommend making this just before serving so you get that delicious crunch—it gets a bit soggy if you make it too far in advance.

How to Make Crispy Salmon in the Oven

I go though phases with my salmon, and in all honesty, I love them all. (Remember my slow-baked salmon phase?) Yes, it’s luscious and buttery and delicious, but sometimes I crave the texture of a crispy golden brown crust encasing a tender fish. When crispy is what I’m after, you can’t beat the broiler. And you may be surprised when I tell you how long to bake hot honey salmon. The broiler makes such quick work of it that this salmon is in and out of the oven in seven minutes or less.

I cut the salmon fillet into 3-inch pieces before cooking, which helps the interior of the salmon to cook through in the same amount of time that it takes the outside to crisp up. If you like a more medium-rare interior, you can leave the fillet whole when you cook it for a pink-on-the-interior finish.

Once my broiler is preheated, I place the salmon on a cast iron skillet, or a foil-lined baking sheet (for easier clean-up), drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, and pop it under the broiler, about seven inches from the heat. After about four minutes, I pull it out and spoon on the honey glaze—you don’t want the glaze under the broiler for the entire cook time since it will burn. Place under the broiler for another three minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the entire surface of the salmon is golden brown.

How to Serve Hot Honey Salmon

I made this recipe into a complete dinner by turning it into a “salmon bowl” with sweet potatoes and fluffy rice. The combo had slight Asian vibes with the heat of the sriracha and chilis, plus the coconut and cilantro flavors. I brushed the extra hot honey glaze over my sweet potatoes while they roasted in the oven, which brought everything together—and is definitely something I’d do again for a veg-focused dinner.

I also love serving this hot honey glazed salmon on top of a flavor-packed kale salad, or swap the sweet potatoes and serve alongside any interesting veggie side like Masala Corn Salad or Grilled Zucchini with Chili Mint Vinaigrette.
