Lebanese Potato Salad

By Maureen Abood On June 7, 2012 · 39 Comments · In Fall, Gluten-Free, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Lebanese potato salad is light and fresh with lemon and mint–the perfect, healthy summer salad which is dairy- and gluten-free. See how to cook the potatoes perfectly here and in my video. I was surprised when I returned from Lebanon recently to find the herbs in the back corner garden had come into their own. [...]

Fattoush salad, and poetry, in motion

By Maureen Abood On April 19, 2012 · 20 Comments · In Breads, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
It wasn’t long after I started working, after graduate school studying poetry and literature, that I started to feel the gnaw. Working was great, a paycheck was even greater. But I wasn’t writing much—just a couple of correspondences that took on terrific significance for me, or my journal, which was so stream of consciousness that [...]

Technique: How to make a simple vinaigrette

By Maureen Abood On April 18, 2012 · 16 Comments · In Salads, Techniques, Vegetables
There is perhaps no more classic technique in a Lebanese kitchen than dressing the salata with a squeeze of the lemon and pour of the oil directly on the salad. Try as we might, none of my siblings or I have been quite able to replicate my mom’s touch: the oil, then a lemon, cut [...]

Favorite Things: A little whisk

By Maureen Abood On April 16, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Favorite Things, Salads, Vegetables
It’s true, you can use a jar. You can use a fork. Or you can skip emulsification of a vinaigrette altogether and just pour it all directly on the salad, the way my mama does. But I love the swift job a small Best brand whisk does when it comes time to dress a salad. [...]

Lebanese Olive Salad, and Our Town

By Maureen Abood On October 6, 2011 · 13 Comments · In Fall, Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter
I’ve noticed, as I’m sure you have, that olive bars in the supermarket are as typical now as the salad bar once was. The IGA here in Harbor Springs has a great little olive bar that I perused closely the other night. It was a Friday evening, not many people out getting groceries up here [...]

Lebanese Tomato Salad. Let juice run down your chin.

By Maureen Abood On August 31, 2011 · 18 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
There’s no simpler, more beloved salad than Lebanese tomato salad. Tomatoes inspired my writing from the start, and that would explain why it made the cover of my cookbook! Use ripe summer tomatoes, of course, and fresh and dried mint to make this a perfect salad. In winter, I still go for it using little [...]

Tabbouleh makes me shake-shake my bootie

By Maureen Abood On August 10, 2011 · 37 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Tabbouleh is a Lebanese chopped herb salad of parsley, mint, tomatoes, onion, and just a touch of bulgur wheat (which can be substituted with cooked quinoa). A perfect salad with grilled meats, and also delicious on its own with a dollop of hummus! The backyard garden where I grew up on Wagon Wheel Lane presented [...]

Why three times? How to prep parsley for tabbouleh.

By Maureen Abood On August 9, 2011 · 21 Comments · In Salads, Stories and Recipes, Techniques, Vegetables
My brother has a good friend he met in medical school who came from a big, wonderful East coast Italian family. The Italian father ruled the roost not unlike my own: with a firmness that is known in our family to inspire “fear of father.” As in, “that kid needs a little fear of father [...]

Yogurt Cucumber Salad with Mint

By Maureen Abood On July 21, 2011 · 27 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Laban khiyar, or yogurt-cucumber salad, is a healthy, cool and refreshing Lebanese favorite — perfect with kibbeh, grilled meats and vegetables, tomato salad . . . or simply on its own. This is one of the first posts made on this blog, with a recipe that is integral to the Lebanese table. When I’ve envisioned [...]
