Some of my best friends love this salad, but every time you order a tuna salad in front of a new person, you wonder if they think you’re the weird kid on the block. Frankly, I’ve had whole conversations about how tuna salad is underrated. So here’s our case to prove it.

Branzino is a mild tasting white fish that is very flakey and delicate when cooked correctly. The herb-y olive oil elevates the dish and makes you want to spoon it into your mouth like soup.

Why is this called the Bodega Chopped Salad? Well first things first, it’s chopped. Like, really chopped. So, if you’re not from the tristate area, a bodega is a glorified convenience store. But, when I tell you a lot of them put out some of the best food in the city, I’m not lying.

When it’s summer time a crisp salad is sometimes just the thing to get you through, even when you’re too hot to eat. But there’s something about a Caesar salad that just hits a little bit harder. The cold, crunchy romaine is the key.

Chia seeds have a huge amount of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, lots of protein (and great quality protein at that), and several essential minerals and antioxidants - all in these TINY TINY seeds.

Green Valley canned peas are picked, canned in water, at their freshest. So, give it a try before you comment. Also it makes the dish that much easier (and quicker) to prepare. Don’t forget to rinse the peas before use.
