Forbidden Rice, Mango, and Avocado Salad
/The creamy, nutty texture of the black rice pairs so nicely with chopped mango, scallions, avocado and a lime-serrano-rice wine vinaigrette!
Read MoreThough not a beef burger fan, I do love the idea of burgers, especially during summertime when you can sit outside, crack open a watermelon, pour some sweet tea and enjoy the sunshine. As such, I need non-beef burgers in my repetoire, and I prefer that they not look like pancakes or pucks, sad seconds to the juicy beef patties sharing grill space. I love real veggie burgers but chicken and/or turkey make the best substitutes for the "real" deal. This recipe is inspired by a southwestern turkey burger recipe I once had (white meat and chili) and by a delicious Aleppo-yogurt chicken kebab recipe I found on epicurious (chicken, Aleppo, yogurt). It's lighter than air, super moist and completely satisfying.
I made this salad up one night during a bout of inspiration and was incredibly pleased. It is refreshing, zingy and just lovely all around.

Read MoreGrilling fruit is such an underrated method of preparation. The heat caramelizes the outer layer of the fruit, and the warmth throughout is a different experience altogether. Grilled peaches and pineapple are also delicious.
