With summer comes my favorite make ahead harissa carrot salad! It’s light & crisp, sweet & spicy, packed with fresh herbs, lemon zest & a hint of garlic. Plus, it gets better with the time it spends in its dressing, so you can keep it for several days in the fridge. And my husband hates […]
Baked Everything Bagel Salmon with Spring Pea Salad & Caper Sour Cream
Clearly the star of today’s recipe is the everything bagel salmon here. A simple crust of everything bagel seasoning is such a quick, easy yet surprisingly elegant way to dress up some salmon.
