Parsley Salad With Fennel and Horseradish

This salad is an obvious nod to the Seder plate, including both parsley (bitter herbs) and fresh horseradish, except it’s less ceremonial and more just a very delicious salad. I love, love parsley and think a well-seasoned bowl of it is something that most tables can benefit from, especially if thos

Dilly Bean Stew with Cabbage and Frizzled Onions

The low number of deceptively modest ingredients might convince you this stew doesn’t have what it takes to be your new favorite stew– but I assure you, it does.

Little Gems with Garlicky Lemon and Pistachio

This salad goes with everything, but it’s especially nice for a chicken dinner.

Tiny Boiled Potatoes with Butter and Chives

This can be endlessly scaled up or down to feed as many or few people as you like. While I find the butter + chive + salt combo to be perfect in its simplicity, you can always dress it up.

Tangy Fruit Salad

This is a two salad thanksgiving! And this one is tart, refreshing, and beautiful.

Leafy Herb Salad

This salad is more an idea than a recipe. Perfectly paired with big meals.

Crushed Sour Cream Potatoes

These extremely rich, highly textured potatoes are no less luxurious than the silky mashed variety, but they are a lot less work. There’s no ricing, mashing or whipping — just a simple crush to expose the potatoes’ craggy interior. From here on out, the key word is “cream”.

Potato Salad with Celery and Mustard

This mustardy, crunchy, tangy, herby, wonderful potato salad makes an excellent plus one at any picnic/bbq/party all summer long. Don’t worry about it being out for too long—it gets better the longer it sits, but it will also surely get eaten quickly. 

Cucumbers with Red Onion and Sesame

If you want to switch it up, this cucumber salad is another great pairing for a Really Nice Fish—it’s bright, crunchy, a little nutty, and a lovely low-lift side dish.
