Thai-Inspired Chicken and Cabbage Salad

This summer vegetable salad comes together in no time—as the shallots macerate in the vinegar for the dressing, you can prep everything else: slice the radishes, turnips, scallions, etc. With a hunk of bread on the side, the meal is complete. // alexandracooks.com

10-Minute Meal: Greens + Tuna + Shallot Vinaigrette
June 25, 2017
In this skirt steak nicoise, while the skirt steak rests, you’ll make a simple sauce Niçoise. After halving cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopping olives, and tossing the two with capers, you’ll briefly sauté the mix with olive oil and garlic. After just a few minutes, the tomatoes will begin to break down, releasing juices and sweetening as they soften. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end offers a welcomed hit of acidity. // alexandracooks.com

Skillet-Seared Skirt Steak Niçoise

In these skirt steak sandwiches, skirt steak, which cooks to medium-rare in just about 5 minutes, is layered with arugula between slices of focaccia smeared with herbed mayonnaise. The key, as with all meats, is to let the steak rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing, and with skirt steak, to slice it thinly against the grain. // alexandracooks.com

This recipe for almond-sesame soba noodles with quick-pickled vegetables is really fun and super easy. It's also a good one to rely on in the summer — it's so refreshing — and, if you subscribe to a CSA or tend a prolific garden, it makes great use of all of those carrots, cucumbers, and radishes you may find yourself up to your eyeballs in. // alexandracooks.com

Almond-Sesame Soba Noodles with Quick-Pickled Vegetables
May 23, 2017
This ‘nduja grilled cheese includes Wisconsin fontina, a great melting cheese, and basil pesto, to offer a fresh counterpoint to the richness of the pâte-like spread. In keeping with the Italian theme, I sandwiched the three ingredients between thick slices of ciabatta, whose porous crumb so nicely absorbed the flavors of the spicy ‘nduja and sweet, earthy fontina. Yum. // alexandracooks.com

Spring Pasta with Spinach, Walnuts & Lemon
April 30, 2017
This salad is a combination of roasted vegetables, lentils, walnuts, and goat cheese. But there's a lot more to it than what's revealed in the title. There's raw radicchio, lots of fresh tarragon, and it's all dressed in an at once sharp, sweet, and salty dressing made with minced anchovies, shallots, mustard, honey, and currants. The whole combination is just so good. // alexandracooks.com
