For a crowd-pleasing side dish to your Italian dinner, try this Salad Italiano with creamy Italian dressing. The secret to this salad’s deliciousness is adding a little sugar to slightly sweeten the dressing.
Fried Onion Strings
Sauteéd onions are standard atop chicken fried steak, but these also double as a delicious appetizer. Breading and frying elevates them from a simple garnish to a side dish.
Spiced Creamy Spinach Casserole
It’s rare when spinach gets top billing at any meal. Typically tossed in a salad or as a healthful afterthought, the green leaf is front and center in this casserole.
Loosely based on a popular Indian dish, palak paneer, this easy dinner recipe takes the garlic- and ginger-rich flavors of the long simmered stew and gets them to the table in a fraction of the time. Plus, spices (that are probably already lining your spice rack), like cumin, coriander, and turmeric bring warmth to the t…
Tomato Basmati Rice
Fragrant basmati rice is a staple side dish in Indian cuisine, especially when served with something saucy, like this Spiced Creamy Spinach Casserole. The rice catches all the sauce so nothing goes to waste.
Crab, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad with Grapefruit-Tarragon Vinaigrette
No matter when you eat it — as a first course, along with the meal, or as a palate cleanser before dessert — round out your meal with this refreshing salad. Sweet crab and a light citrus-herb vinaigrette make it much more than a typical dinner salad. And because they’re at their sweetest and juiciest this time of year, the red jeweled grapefruit segments make it extra-special.
Creamy Crab Bisque
Bisque is a rather refined soup often reserved for special occasions. But with quality crabmeat, that’s readily available, you can make it for dinner (or dinner parties) any time the craving strikes. The flavors of seafood, sherry, and tomato are highlighted in every scrumptious bite.
Cashew Chicken with Ginger & Scallions
Stir-fries are perfect for weeknight meals — they cook so quickly! And the ever-popular cashew chicken (a staple on most Chinese menus) is a simple dish to make at home. With a few ingredients, you probably already have on hand, this dish can be on the table in just 20 minutes. Serve it with rice for a full meal.
Vinegar Sushi Rice

Pecan-Crusted Red Snapper with Rémoulade

The keys to quick meals are preparation and organization. The chef’s secret to that is mise en place (having everything ready to go). That goes double if you want a meal in a short amount of time. Take a little time to prep everything in advance, and you’ll be surprised at how quic…
Israeli Couscous Pilaf with Raisins, Mint & Almonds
Couscous is a traditional side dish in parts of the Middle East and Africa. Here, we use Israeli couscous, a plump, ball-shaped toasted pasta, and cook it pilaf-style. This means that the couscous is first sautéed in olive oil until toasted, then covered in hot broth, covered, and cooked until tender. Stir in veggies, raisins, mint, and almonds, and you have a flavorful and easy side dish.
Carrot-Pineapple Salad
Serve a heavier pasta dish with a delightfully fresh-tasting but unexpected “fruit salad” of carrots, pineapple, and mint to make this a perfect springtime menu.

Start by turning this sweet and succulent seafood into ever-popular crab cakes. Cumin adds a hint of smokiness for a southwestern twist, while bell pepper, corn, and scallions complete the flavor profil…
