Neiman Marcus Chicken Salad
This Neiman Marcus chicken salad, a copycat of the department store's signature cafe recipe, is quick to make and very satisfying as a cold supper. Serve over lettuce or fill a sandwich.
Instant Pot Canned Tomato Salsa
Canning salsa requires cooking for me, so my Instant Pot salsa recipe is much simpler! Nothing beats fresh salsa in a blender when tomatoes are in season, but when they're not, you've got to go with plan B. Out-of-season, pink, mealy tomatoes are nasty, so I use canned tomatoes instead.
Turkey Kofta Kebabs
These turkey kofta kebabs were introduced to me about 20 years ago by my Persian neighbor. I never actually got his recipe, but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors, and these came pretty close. He made them with beef but using turkey instead makes these a lot lighter.
