Chicken Salad with Craisins and Pesto
Olive Sunshine’s healthy Chicken Salad with Craisins and Pesto is ideal for summer. Light and tangy with a hint of sweetness, this is not your everyday chicken salad. Craisins add a subtle sweetness that is refreshing and pairs well with the tanginess of the dressing. The fresh green of the basil is summertime at its […]
Grilled Cheese with Figs and Caramelized-Onions
What could be a better easy comfort food to enjoy than a grilled cheese with figs and caramelized-onions? This grown-up version of a favorite comfort food is perfect with a glass of red wine. A sweet and savory grilled cheese with a full-bodied glass of red wine sounds like the perfect meal to have after […]
Fig and Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese
Fig and Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese is the perfect summertime salad. It is my newest addition to the Olive Sunshine collection of fig recipes. If you have not already heard, it is fig season in Florida. I love fresh figs. Not because they are my favorite fruit, but because they are subtle and sweet […]
Healthy Chicken Avocado Taco Salad
Why did Olive Sunshine create a Healthy Chicken Avocado Taco Salad recipe? There are always those people who go to a Mexican Restaurant and order a taco salad. I am not one of those people – but they exist. I mean, if you are going to go to a Mexican restaurant, get a deluxe burrito […]
King Crab Spring Rolls
King Crab Spring Rolls are one of my favorite MediterrAsian recipes. Mediterranean Diet compliant, this dish is simplicity at its finest. Rice paper wrappers, cabbage, carrots, avocado and of course tons of sweet King Crab. It is the perfect dish to reach for if you are craving food from the Far East! I love to […]
Cumin Shrimp Street Tacos
I love tacos and these Cumin Shrimp Street Tacos are a perfect example of why. The blend of flavors in these tacos make you close your eyes, shake your head and say a long “yum”. Shrimp tacos is a quick and easy Tuesday Night meal (who doesn’t love Taco Tuesday?). Now I know cumin can […]
Spicy Sweet Potato Burrito
What I love about the Spicy Sweet Potato Burrito is it is delicious and easy to make. I typically make a batch of mini burritos and put them in the freezer. These burritos are delicious pockets of sweet and spicy goodness. One burrito is perfect to pull out frozen and heat up in under two […]
Fig, Honey and Goat Cheese Flatbread
Fig, honey-goat cheese, and local honey are the toppings on a flavorful sourdough flatbread. Topped with caramelized onions, fig balsamic vinegar, a rich extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) and a touch of fresh mint, it is light and delicious. The flavors explode in your mouth. It was actually challenging to decide which ingredients to use in […]
Mixed Greens with Rustic Smashed Potatoes
Mixed Greens with Rustic Smashed Potatoes is delightful in its simplicity, but does not sacrifice on taste. In the summer, I love to add warm root vegetables, fresh grains, dried fruits and creamy dressings to salads. The warmth of the baked potato, sautéed in garlic and extra virgin olive oil, transforms a summer salad into […]
Crustless Sweet Potato Quiche
Quiche is perfect for breakfast or lunch. I love to have a lovely vegetarian quiche with a side salad, a warm piece of wheat baguette and a glass of wine for a girls luncheon out. Quiche is usually delicious, but rarely healthy. The culprit is pie crust. Crustless Sweet Potato Quiche is tasty, light and […]
