Side Dish

Cajun dirty rice

Cajun dirty rice
The “dirty” look comes from a combination of sausage fat, Cajun seasoning and chopped chicken livers. But unsanitary, Cajun rice is not. It is tasty beyond words.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 people

Mango and avocado salsa

Mango and avocado salsa
Sweet, tangy, spicy and deliciously creamy, I made this salsa on a terribly humid summer day and served it with tortilla chips for a mid-afternoon snack.
Cook time: 0 minutes minutes
Servings: 3 cups

Lychee and mango salad

Lychee and mango salad
When raw greens are combined with fruits and nuts, a salad becomes edible. Lovable even. Yep, just like this lychee and mango salad with honey-mustard dressing.
Cook time: 2 minutes minutes
Servings: 2 people

Garlic and herb toast

Garlic and herb toast
How do you make plain buttered toast more exciting? Adding grated garlic, salt and pepper does the trick well but incorporating chopped fresh herbs is an even better idea.
Cook time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 people

Potato and tomato salad with goat cheese

Potato and tomato salad with goat cheese
Inspired by Caprese salad, herbed goat cheese, tomato slices and sliced boiled potatoes are laid out alternatingly on the plate, drizzled with olive oil and garnished with fresh basil.
Cook time: 20 minutes minutes
Servings: 2 people
