Bok Choy Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette
We buy bok choy all of the time to pair with our favorite Asian recipes like Mapo Tofu and our Steamed Mushroom Buns. Some of the dishes we make are admittedly heavy and need a veggie side kick to balance things out. We usually sauté bok choy on high heat with a bunch of garlic,…

Spicy Watermelon Salad
We love the summertime and the food possibilities when we are in full blown fruit season. There is no better snack than a piece of watermelon or mango topped with a hearty pour of Tajin- a Mexican chili lime spice mix. You can find Tajin at most grocery stores and Trader Joe’s makes a comparable…

Mediterranean Bulgar Salad
This bulgar salad is one of our go-to side dishes. For those unfamiliar with bulgar, bulgar is a grain that is made from cracked wheat. It tastes like a hybrid between quinoa and rice, with a little bit more of a crunch and texture to it. It is also cooked similarly to quinoa and rice,…

We leverage rotisserie…

Semi-Homemade Southwest Caesar Salad

They are the ultimate answer to “oh crap, what is for dinner?!” We have created these Potsticker Salad Bowls by combining two of our…

Mexican Squash Salad
Moving to Florida last week was a great reminder that spring and summer are on the horizon! We dread eating salads in the winter and seriously look forward to sunshine and the desire to eat vegetable cold again. This Mexican Squash Salad is the perfect way to push you out of your salad rut. We’ve…

Beet & Blood Orange Salad
To celebrate the upcoming baseball season, and Tuck’s departure to Florida for Spring Training, Tuck and Tate’s parents went to a going away dinner at Jovanina’s Broken Italian in downtown Denver. In true Tuck & Tate fashion, we consumed almost everything on the menu and cannot rave about our dinner enough. From bone marrow to parmesan souffle,…

Shaved Carrot Salad
Today we are giving the humble carrot a major glow up. We are in the camp that carrots are mostly a filler ingredient. In a mirepoix for our Short Ribs Bourguignon? Sure. As the star of their own show? Not so much. We wanted to challenge ourselves when brainstorming our Valentine’s Day menu to think…

Arugula Salad: Winter Edition
We know that getting your veggies in during the winter is a feat. If it’s not cooked in a soup, we mostly aren’t interested. To try and break out of these habits, we have really tried to up our salad game this winter. This salad is the wintery cousin of a traditional Cobb Salad. We…
