You’d think that egg salad, which is made with eggs and mayonnaise (which is also made with eggs) might be a little hard to make if you don’t eat, well, eggs. Turns out you’d be wrong! These tofu egg-less salads are surprisingly convincing and, dare I say, even better than the classic. What’s more, you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting for fear of it going bad. Rather, leave it covered in the refrigerator overnight to let the spices seep into the tofu and make it taste even better the next day.
Few things are lovelier or more refreshing than a salad of freshly cut fruit. The only way to make an already-great fruit salad better? A drizzle of bright, lightly sweet lime-agave dressing.
Don’t let the long ingredients list scare you away! This lovely salad is one of my very favorites and completely worth the (minimal) trouble. And you can make a big batch of the candied pecans ahead of time!
Schiacciata is the Tuscan word for what most English-speakers might recognize as “focaccia.” Aptly meaning “squashed” or “flattened,” schiacciata is flattened with the fingers of the baker, leaving characteristic pockets along the top of the dough that hold little dredges of olive oil and salt. This recipe for focaccia embeds a variety of herbs and thin slices of garlic in the dough before baking. It’s the perfect base for a heaping pile of fresh ingredients, like cherry tomatoes and torn basil.
