Taco Salad

This Mexican American classic has roots at Disneyland. Charles Elmer Doolin, a cofounder of the Frito Company, created an edible cup out of Fritos and served it at his Disneyland restaurant, Casa de Fritos, in 1955. It was the size of a teacup, filled with ground beef, beans and sour cream, and called the Ta-Cup (a portmanteau of taco and cup). The creation was a hit, with recipes for taco salad made with various corn chips proliferating in the ’60s, becoming a staple in school cafeterias, and eventually growing into the jumbo version added to the Taco Bell menu in 1984. (The menu item was retired in 2020.) You can use any corn chip for this recipe, and there’s no need for it to be in cup form, but opt for Fritos, if you want that authentic taste.

Greek Salad

While diner-style Greek salads made with chopped romaine, crumbled feta and often grilled chicken have become ubiquitous in American restaurants, a traditional Greek salad, or horiatiki salata, is a simpler affair. An assembled salad of large-diced vegetables with Kalamata olives and sometimes capers, this salad has no greens at all, and the feta is served sliced on top of the salad rather than crumbled and tossed into it. A traditional Greek salad dressing usually consists of olive oil and red wine vinegar; this recipe adds garlic and oregano. To make the salad into a satisfying vegetarian main course, throw in a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas.

45 min

Fruit Salad

A bit of sugar and lime makes a standout fruit salad: The duo accentuates fruit’s flavors and sweetness while creating a syrup to gloss the fruit. Massage lime zest into the sugar so its oils release, then stir mixed fruit with the lime sugar and some lime juice. Taste and tweak until the result is electric. You could also add chopped mint or basil, ground cinnamon or coriander, vanilla bean seeds, chile flakes or grated fresh ginger.

20 min

Classic Matzo Brei

In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It’s a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

Recipe video above. This lime marinade has a beautiful depth of flavour and really infuses the chicken with lime flavours! Touch of sugar caramelises the chicken, and depth of flavour is achieved by using soy or fish sauce instead of salt (it doesn't taste Asiany at all, I swear!). Stove or BBQ best, but can also bake!

One-Pot Summer Vegetable Pasta

This hearty pasta, loaded with zucchini, corn, tomatoes, and summer squash, comes together in just one pot—no draining required.

Lemon Turmeric Chicken Salad

Afghan murgh kebab (chicken kebab) and white sauce is a classic combination — the tangy, earthy sauce complements the turmeric-stained grilled chicken. Here, the two inspire a creamy, lemony chicken salad. Traditionally, Afghan white sauce is made with mayonnaise, milk, dried dill, vinegar and often MSG. A bit of Greek yogurt balances the richness of the mayo while maintaining a texture sturdy enough for a pita pocket. Fresh dill, sugar, salt and vinegar pay homage to the original seasonings, while the lemon zest, turmeric and garlic draw from the traditional murgh kebab marinade.

Skillet Gnocchi With Miso Butter and Asparagus

This skillet gnocchi recipe has a spring in its step: It takes just 10 minutes to cook and is loaded with sweet springtime asparagus and baby greens. But that doesn’t mean the flavor is fleeting: The combination of miso, butter and vinegar forms a silky, rich sauce that glosses the seared gnocchi and vegetables and anything else you wish to add. Perhaps that’s the crunch of sliced radishes or toasted pistachios, or the crispness of a fried egg or seared fish.

Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Sticky, smoky-sweet chicken tucked into crispy folded tortillas and served with a honey-chipotle yogurt dipping sauce. Quick to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner, these tacos balance sweet honey with smoky chipotle heat.

Feta-Ranch Wedge Salad

A towering wedge salad is fun to look at, but the height and shape make it impractical for a couple reasons: Toppings tumble right off and dressings can’t permeate it properly. This recipe fixes all that by calling for thinly sliced wedges that are stacked on their sides. The toppings stay put, and the dressing can work its way into all the little nooks and crannies. This salad looks impressive, it tastes delicious and it’s actually quite no-fuss: You can make the dressing days ahead of time, and swap in whatever herbs, spices, seasonings you have and crave. The only tricky aspect is emulsifying your feta. The key is time: Scrape the sides as needed and keep blending. With some coaxing, it always gets there.

Cheesy White Bean-Tomato Bake

For those of you who love lasagna's edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you — even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato's sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that's ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it’s white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that’s left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until it’s as molten or singed as you like. Serve with bread and a bitter-green salad.

Speedy Skillet Ravioli Lasagna From Grace Parisi

Unlike your average weekend lasagna layering project, this recipe is all cooked in one pan—quick tomato sauce, pasta, and all. And it all happens very fast, thanks to frozen ravioli, the only pasta that has the layers of cheese tucked right inside. Note that every brand of ravioli is a little bit different, so it's a good idea to taste and season as you go. In Lasagna: A Baked Pasta Cookbook, Taste senior editor Anna Hezel writes: "Thanks to a little help from a package of frozen ravioli, you can pull a skillet of toasty, bubbly lasagna from the oven in a little more than half an hour. In this ingenious one pan supper (shout-out to Grace Parisi, the brains behind the recipe!), you make a tomato sauce right in the same skillet you use to bake the whole thing, and the ravioli—layered with mozzarella and Parm—cooks and soaks up the tomato flavor at the same time the starch from the pasta thickens the sauce. Now, Grace, can you please work on an airfryer lasagna recipe for Lasagna, the sequel?" Recipe from Lasagna: A Baked Pasta Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, September 2019).

Sheet-Pan Italian Dressing Chicken Thighs

Roasted sheet-pan chicken thighs are a staple for easy weeknight dinners year-round. This version features flavor powerhouse Ken’s Northern Italian Dressing two ways: as a marinade and as a luscious pan sauce (once it’s combined with the chicken drippings). The red bell pepper, sweet basil, and Romano cheese in the dressing add so much flavor to the dish, and the marinade really tenderizes the meat. To serve, I like to make a refreshing yet comforting pea and basil panzanella salad. The peas are roasted in the same sheet pan as the chicken, then tossed with basil and toasted torn bread so everything soaks up that pan sauce goodness. If you’ve got any leftover chicken thighs and peas, they taste great thrown together with pasta or mixed greens the next day.

How to make fluffy ricotta gnocchi that's also gluten-free? The secret is chickpea flour! These tender Italian dumplings are a cinch to make -- zero rolling, shaping or resting time required. It's great fun to pipe the dough into the pot; if you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

Air-Fryer Chile-Cheese Toast

I grew up eating this for a snack. I know you’re wondering what kind of kid eats chiles on toast with some cheese for a snack. An Indian kid, that’s who. You can totally doctor this up with fancy-schmancy cheese, more spices, or different types of bread, but when I’m craving a taste of home at breakfast, this is what I make.

Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner With Potatoes and Salad | Epicurious
