I loved this recipe.  Takes a little time to prep, but I prepped the slaw dressing and the rub mixture the day before and then it was a super simple dinner.  I used packaged coleslaw mix.  I also added black beans to the tacos.  Delicious.  Have made 3 times.

Easy and delicious light lunch or quick supper.  The peanuts and bean sprouts were wonderful texture complements to the crisp salad.  The warm salmon on cool salad is superb.

I rarely give a bad review but this recipe was disappointing.  I will take partial blame because I used dried favas and they just don't work in this recipe the way fresh favas would.  Either way,  the marinade was not good.  It was overwhelmly saffron-y.  It just didn't work for me.  If you try it, use fresh favas and try adding some fresh squeezed lemon juice as a finish.  That might help.

This was a quick and easy lunch.  I cut one extra corner and just used roasted red peppers from a jar, but I did heat up in the oil with garlic and crushed red pepper.  The crushed pepper is a perfect addition to the spicy pepper and arugula.  The tomato is key to keep it fresh.  I also used pumpernickel bread which I think was a better choice than whole grain, and it looked lovely too.

I prepared this exactly as directed, using golden beets as shown in the picture.  It was wonderful!  The beets ann lentils provide a nice hearty, earthiness while the arugula and feta provide a clean and crisp contrast.  The vinaigrette is subtle and bridges the to spectrums nicely.  A definite keeper.  Nice light but satisfying weeknight meal.

This recipe was a lot of work and came out just o.k.  I was so excited at the prospect of carmelizing butternut squash and combining it with chocolate but it didn't wow me.   At first I actually disliked it, but I let the second serving sit in the fridge for 2 days and it was at least edible.  Won't make again.

This was super easy and impressive!  Nice, light weeknight meal.  I made exactly as directed except I substituted hot cappicola for pancetta....delicious!  The lemon vinaigrette gave the salad a perfect spark so as not to be boring.  I will add this to the permanent weeknight collection.
