This salad takes everything people love about traditional Vietnamese spring rolls — cool noodles, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, and a bright peanut dressing — and skips the rolling entirely. Instead of wrapping individual rolls in rice paper, all the components are prepped separately and tossed together in one big bowl. […]
This crisp is built from two simple components layered together: a maple-sweetened peach and blueberry filling, and a buttery oat-almond flour crumble on top. There’s no dough to roll and no pastry technique required — the entire dish comes together by tossing the fruit filling in one bowl, mixing the […]
This recipe is built around two components that come together at the very end: golden, panko-crusted chicken cutlets and a fresh, lemony Mediterranean salad.
