Burger Bowls with House Sauce and Ranch Fries

My husband usually orders a burger and takes off the top of the bun. He loves this Hamburger Chopped Salad that they serve at Little Pub in Greenwich, CT. So when I saw this recipe for Burger Bowls with House Sauce and Ranch Fries, I knew I had to make it. It’s the ultimate burger bowl with crispy, ranch-seasoned waffle fries piled high with a juicy burger chunks and all your favorite fixings, finished with a signature house sauce drizzle. Oh, I also have made Pittsburgh Salad, with involves sliced steak, hard boiled eggs and fries.

Asparagus Hazelnut Salad

Since it’s asparagus season (April - early June), when it's sweetest and most tender, I made this outstanding Asparagus Hazelnut Salad. The delicate sweetness of the fresh asparagus pairs beautifully with the rich, earthy crunch of toasted hazelnuts. It's a simple yet sophisticated combination that truly lets the star ingredient shine.

Hotel Citadel Celery Salad

I recreated this incredibly addictive Celery Salad, inspired by a dish from the Hotel Citadel in Jerusalem. Celery often takes a backseat, but in this salad, it shines. The combination of crisp celery, sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds, and dried blueberries (or cranberries) creates a satisfyingly fresh and crunchy texture. The tangy lemon honey dressing perfectly complements the salad's flavors.

Caramelized Lemon Leek Couscous Salad

This Caramelized Lemon Leek Couscous Salad is genius. The dressing, infused with the smoky, charred flavor of fried lemon slices, adds a unique depth. The often-overlooked leek is the star of this dish, giving the a mild, onion-like flavor and creamy texture. Sautéing the couscous adds a nutty flavor which takes this dish to the next level.

Irish Funeral Sandwiches

This recipe for Irish Funeral Sandwiches popped up in my inbox. It's sort of - if an egg salad sandwich (my favorite sandwich!) met up with a club sandwich. I literally made it 10 minutes later and let me tell you it's absolutely delicious. Apparently, Irish funeral sandwiches have been a staple at wakes and funerals across Ireland to offer comfort and sustenance to mourners during a difficult time. While the specific ingredients can vary depending on regional preferences and the availability of local produce, the core elements of an Irish funeral sandwich typically include hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, lettuce, sliced ham or chicken, lettuce, and mayonnaise all chopped up.
