Tomato & Peach Salad with Green Dressing

So this is September.

I’m not really sure where the summer went but I am mentally preparing myself for all things apple, pumpkin and cozy.

BUT FIRST- Let’s have one last hurrah with late summer produce by making this light and flavourful tomato and peach salad with green dressing while we still can. It is loaded with juicy peaches, harvest tomatoes and topped with fresh herbs, a soft cheese of your choice(vegan or otherwise) and drizzled with the most amazing green honey dressing. If only I could eat this ALL YEAR LONG.

Is there anything better than tomatoes and peaches when they are in their prime? The farmer’s market stalls are overflowing with every type of tomato possible and perfectly ripe peaches just at the very end of their season. Soon we will be back to winter tomatoes that really, just aren’t the same (at least here in Canada where our season is pretty darn short!).

Are you ready to give it a go?

Let’s pause on all of the holiday recipes that are taking up your feed for a moment. I mean, I love them, don’t get me wrong, but it also makes me feel like a need a salad. And not a simple little salad- a hearty, flavour-packed salad like this one.

Homer Simpson said “you don’t make friends with salad” but Homer Simpson never had this salad. Autumn Cobb Salad with roasted squash, maple balsamic baked chicken, toasted pepitas, avocado, cherry tomatoes and of course bacon, all topped with a dairy free, creamy hemp dressing.

Sound good?

Let’s give it a go.

Wild Rice and Nectarine Salad

Dear Summer, Please don’t leave. Love, Lizzy

If you never leave summer, I can enjoy this juicy, sweet nectarine and wild rice salad ALL OF THE TIME. Instead, fleeting summer, pretty soon the ground will be frozen solid and the perfectly drippy nectarines along with the sweetest cherry tomatoes you have ever tasted will be gone. Which means I must cram this salad in as often as I can.

So inter-web friends, are you ready to make the best summer salad over and over again until there are no nectarines and tomatoes left? Lets give it a go!

Well it has been a minute since I have been on here to share a recipe. Last week we were in Hawaii and the internet was just not co-operating so I apologize if you were over here looking for a new post! I have a few Hawaiian inspired recipes coming as well as my guide to MAUI so be sure to stay on the lookout for those!

And now, as the Ontario strawberries are coming out I have this wonderful salad for you. Fresh local strawberries with perfectly ripe avocados and freshly picked mint. The FRESHEST combo out there. Are you ready to give it a go?

Miso Sweet Potatoes and Kimchi Bowl

Bowl food = best food.

Fact.

I have here a super delicious bowl recipe with a warm element (Miso roasted sweet potatoes!), a crunchy element (oh hey there kelp noodles and radishes), a fatty element (avocado- the good kind of fat!), a super flavourful element (marinated mushrooms and the best salad dressing ever) and of course, some massaged kale to check off the green box in the list of all things necessary to make the perfect bowl.

You want to try it?
