I literally could not wait to share this cocktail

I literally could not wait to share this cocktail with you.⁠ Let's just say, we've been, uh, testing this mezcal drink all week long and we are obsessed!⁠ ⁠ If you love the flavor of subtle smoke and seasonal sweetness and tart tajin, this drink is for you!⁠ ⁠ Ingredients for 1 cocktail:⁠ 6-8 fresh raspberries + more for garnish⁠ 4-5 fresh mint leaves⁠ 2 ounces Mezcal⁠ 1 ounce simple⁠ syrup 1/2 an orange juiced⁠ 1/2 a lime juiced⁠ Ice⁠ Tajin for rimming glass⁠ ⁠ In a shaker, muddle raspberries and mint.⁠ ⁠ Fill 3/4 of the way with ice and pour in mezcal, simple syrup and citrus juices and shake well for at least 30 seconds.⁠ ⁠ Use the leftover citrus peel to rim around your glass and dip rim in tajin.⁠ ⁠ Fill glass with ice (crushed works too) and pour drink without straining.⁠ ⁠ Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprig.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

If you're planning on grilling kebabs or anything

If you're planning on grilling kebabs or anything really, I am urging you to mix up this Sumac Onion Salad!⁠ ⁠ Quick to mix up, this popular Mediterranean salad is fresh, crunchy and slightly tart thanks to beautiful sumac. ⁠ ⁠ We've been enjoying this over grilled kebabs, on top of hummus and wrapped in pita with creamy tahini sauce. ⁠ ⁠ How good does that sound?⁠ ⁠ Turkish Sumac Onion Salad Ingredients:⁠ 1 medium sized red onion sliced thin⁠ 2 tbsp olive oil⁠ 1 tbsp sumac⁠ Juice of 1 lemon⁠ 1/2 tsp kosher salt⁠ 1 small bunch fresh parsley leaves roughly chopped⁠ ⁠ Toss everything together and let marinate while you prepare the rest of your dish. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

One of my favorite condiments got a well deserved

One of my favorite condiments got a well deserved photo update! (Head to my stories to see the 8 year old "before photo").⁠ ⁠ Creamy Tahini Sauce with garlic, lemon and olive oil is our go to to drizzle on everything. I've made tahini sauce in all sorts of ways...⁠ ⁠ Mixed with avocado (so good on toasted bread and topped with fresh tomatoes)⁠ ⁠ Or with fresh herbs for a green tahini sauce (a cookbook favorite) and even a sweet version!⁠ ⁠ But this classic is our go to and perfect for grilled meats, veggies and falafel. ⁠ ⁠ What would you drizzle tahini sauce on?⁠ ⁠ Creamy Tahini Sauce Recipe: Link in Bio!

What salad dreams are made of!!⁠ ⁠ Yes, I usually share Mediterranean recipes, but once in a while I get a huge craving for the diverse flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. ⁠ ⁠ The salty, sweet, sour combination is out of this world! And the cold rice noodles, snappy pickled vegetables and warm grilled chicken is on another level.⁠ ⁠ I'd love to know, what are your favorite flavor combinations?⁠ ⁠ Rice Noodle Salad with Lemongrass Grilled Chicken: Recipe Link in Bio!⁠ ⁠
