A sapid salad!





This salad combined pea shoots, mozzarella, walnuts, and sweet grape tomatoes. I added balsamic vinaigrette on top to complete this scrumptious lunch option!

Chicken salad and apples!




I toasted ciabatta, and layered the slices with chicken salad, red apple, pea shoots, and chia seeds. Simply ambrosial!

A new use for cucumbers!




I substituted sliced cucumbers for a baguette, and made a thin hummus spread using chickpeas. Then, I added cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and broccoli sprouts. A tasty light summer dish!

An apple a day...


This was an incredible appetizer combining red apple slices *sliced thin, goat cheese, sugar snap peas *chopped thin, and broccoli sprouts. A great fresh appetizer before a big dinner... super easy to make!

A fresh tangy mix




This recipe combined green and red apples, goat cheese, and chia seeds! Mix together and add balsamic vinaigrette! Bon appetit!

A delightful mix





First of all... yum! I combined heirloom tomatoes, chickpeas, peas, cucumbers, feta, and broccoli sprouts. I simply combined all these ingredients and tossed it in evoo. A delectable, easy lunch on a summer day.

The perfect appetizer





This delicious appetizer combined toasted ciabatta bread, heirloom tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, mozzarella, basil, and sea salt.

Slice ciabattaa bread thinly, toast, then add evoo and sea salt as the baselayer. Then, slice heirloom tomatoes thinly, add a chunk of mozzarella, and chopped basil as a garnish.

This dish had incredible textures, and was so easy to make for a large group!

Simple Summer salad




This salad was made with chickpeas, black beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes. I found it to be the perfect salad to throw together as a side salad for a cheeseburger. It's light, fresh, and filling... super healthy too!

Mix together ingredients, and I added a balsamic vinaigrette to give the salad extra zest! Enjoy!

Introduction

For my Masconomet Senior Internship, I wanted to learn how to utilize simple fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and nuts, and create recipes which I would be able to use in College. I am not the best cook, but wanted to try and create meals which I would enjoy, were simple, and that I could recreate in the coming years to have healthy, inexpensive options in College. I went to the supermarkets and picked out food items which I would be able to find when I go to college in Switzerland. Then... I got creative in the kitchen!
