Sides
KALE CHICKPEA SALAD
There is a restaurant in Toronto called GUSTO 101. They have this kale salad that is absolutely amazing. It’s one of their signature dishes. Their Cavolo Nero has kale, currants, pine nuts, pecorino, and a lemon vinaigrette. Every time I go there I order it. …
CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN
A few years ago I went on a South American adventure with my cousin Danielle. Our first stop was Buenos Aires. We drank a bottle of Malbec every night with dinner, and dinner was always grilled meats with sides of veggies. I really loved the …
CROUTON SALAD WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
This is the salad I made to accompany the Citrus Herb Chicken for my friend’s birthday dinner. It’s light but filling and was a great side for this summer meal.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS & GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING
The basil dressing makes this salad. It’s so flavourful and works well with all the other ingredients. You have the creaminess from the goat cheese, the crunch from the pine nuts, the sweetness from the roasted red peppers, and the sharpness from the onions. It’s …
CHARRED BROCCOLI KIMCHI SALAD
When it comes to salads I only like them made fresh. Having a prepacked salad for lunch doesn’t work for me. I’m always trying to find different ways to get more veggies into my lunches. I want something that carries well, can be eaten at …
