Cajun Crispy Smashed Potato Salad

Potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for BBQ’s, potlucks, and more! I took the classic potato salad up a notch with this Cajun Crispy Smashed Potato Salad that has crispy roasted smashed potatoes, a remoulade inspired dressing, and texture from the veggies to make this the side dish of the spring and summer. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious potato salad featuring one of my favorite spices, More Spice Creole Seasoning which gives the sauce and the potatoes the ultimate flavor boost. You are going to love adding this crispy smashed potato salad into your weeknight cooking and summer entertaining.

Raw Squash Salad with Feta and Herbs

Raw Squash Salad with Feta and Herbs

Raw Squash Salad with Feta and Herbs

Squash season is here, and while most people tend to prepare it cooked, squash and zucchini can actually be enjoyed raw as well. I find that for people who tend to not love squash and zucchini cooked because of texture, actually prefer to eat them raw for this reason. A squash salad is the perfect side dish to use up all of that squash you have in your fridge all summer long. This recipe for raw squash salad with feta and herbs is a fresh salad that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish and is easy to prepare any night of the week.
