This garlic cucumber salad has been on repeat over over because it’s easy, fresh, and full of flavorful and crunchy textures. I LOVE adding cucumbers to salads and showing that salads are just more than leafy greens – it can be whatever vegetables, dressed up with super simple but bold flavors. This salad is packed with fresh vegetables, protein, and healthy fats and provides a nutritious option for a weekday dinner.
Thomas and I eat at least Caesar salads at least once or twice a week and it’s super easy to make one that’s balanced, flavorful and completely customized on how you like it. Our favorite Caesar salad is from Bavettes, one of our favorite restaurants for date night in the Chicago. I love this version of a salmon caesar because it’s not overly complicated and it’s the perfect mix of crunchy textures.

I’m so excited to share with you these Crispy Maple Tofu Bites made with 100% Pure Maple Syrup from Canada! They’re easy to make and super versatile. I love it with this purple cabbage and red pepper slaw here, but honestly they’re the perfect sweet/savory protein topper to anything.
Now, I’ve said this before and I’ve said it again – stocking your pantry with essentials can help you in the long run because the basics (olive oil, salt, vinegar, etc) are the base to help you create simple but flavorful meals. Maple Syrup is my number one, go-to sweetener because it’s made with one ingredient – the sap from maple trees! While you’ll often see other syrups on the market, it’s not quite true maple syrup unless it’s only one ingredient.
