A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This salad is another jem from The New American Plate. I like to serve it anytime we’re grilling. It’s a perfect refreshing side for a hot summer day (so pretty much any day in SoCal). And it’s super versatile, matching anything from california style lunch, …
This is one of the first recipes I ever tried from The New American Plate and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since. Polish people eat a lot of beets, and true to my heritage I love them too! This side is a great …
This lemon barley is somewhere between a side and a salad. It’s served cold which to me harkens more of salad, but it’s primarily barley which would indicate side. Either way it’s a great dish to serve in the summer along side fish or poultry. …

I’ve never been a big fan of coleslaw, but this look-a-like carrot “surowka”, or Polish style side salad, is one of my favorites. You can serve it with just about anything, but I think it goes especially well with fish or in place of a …
This pasta salad looks like it’s nothing new, but the mushroom broth in the dressing adds a new and unexpected punch to this traditional dish. The original recipe from “Kuchnia Polska” soaks and boils dried porcinis to make the mushroom broth, and then adds the mushrooms …
This wonky salad is definitely not expected. It’s got a very eclectic mix of ingredients that somehow all come together to be confusingly delicious. The original recipe is from “Kuchnia Polska” so in theory it’s a Polish dish. You can easily make this vegetarian by …
