  • Famous La Scala Chopped Salad

    Famous La Scala Chopped Salad

    It’s pretty clear that the Kardashians like their salad and this is one that they’re especially fond of. If you’ve watched the show, you’ll probably seen them eating this La Scala Chopped Salad. But they’re not the only ones — La Scala is a restaurant in Beverly Hills that’s been in operation since 1956, so people have been enjoying this salad for decades now. (It even had a little viral moment on TikTok.) And that’s because it’s darn good — two types of chopped lettuce, salty salami, creamy mozzarella, hearty garbanzos, and a dressing kissed with just enough parm that you can’t get enough of it.The salad starts with both iceberg and romaine, which is nice because while there’s no crunch quite like iceberg, it doesn’t have a ton of flavor (or nutrients). And then there’s the aforementioned salami (you want to julienne it, or cut it into strips), and some shredded mozzarella, and a can of garbanzo beans. It’s simple really, but it’s all about the combo of those ingredients with the dressing.And then toss everything together. It’s not a heavy salad, but it tastes hearty, if that makes sense.The salami and the garbanzos make it feel like more of a main dish than a side but it really can work in either capacity. It’s famous for a reason — the combination of crunch and saltiness and just enough tang from the dressing is a homerun.

    For the dressing:
    • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
    • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    For the salad:
    • 1 head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
    • 1 head romaine lettuce, finely chopped
    • 1/4 lb Italian salami, julienned
    • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
    • 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
      1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dry mustard, parmesan, and salt and pepper until well combined.
      2. To the same bowl, add lettuces, salami, mozzarella, and garbanzo beans. Toss to coat and adjust seasoning as needed.
      3. Serve with more parmesan and enjoy!

  • Tiramisu-Inspired Oatmeal Parfait Recipe

    Tiramisu-Inspired Oatmeal Parfait Recipe

    Tiramisu-Inspired Oatmeal Parfait Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Oatmeal Base:

    • 2 cups (200 g) oatmeal
    • 4 tbsp chia seeds
    • 1/3 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) espresso (or strong coffee)
    • 2 cups (480 ml) milk of your choice (e.g., almond, soy, cow’s milk)
    • 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup

    For the Creamy Layer:

    • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt
    • 2 tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese
    • 2 tbsp maple syrup (for sweetening the yogurt mixture)

    For Dusting:

    • Cocoa powder

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Oatmeal Base

    Begin by creating the rich, chocolatey oatmeal base. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of oatmeal with 4 tablespoons of chia seeds. The chia seeds will add a pleasant texture and boost the nutritional value with healthy fats and fiber. Add 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix, giving the oatmeal a deep, chocolate flavor reminiscent of tiramisu.

    Next, pour in 1/2 cup of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee, which infuses the oatmeal with a bold coffee flavor that pairs perfectly with the cocoa. Add 2 cups of your preferred milk, whether it’s almond, soy, or cow’s milk, followed by 1/3 cup of maple syrup for sweetness. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats to absorb the liquid, soften, and develop a creamy texture, making it the perfect base for your parfait.

    2. Prepare the Creamy Layer

    While the oatmeal is setting, prepare the creamy layer that will add a rich and smooth contrast to the chocolatey oats. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of mascarpone or cream cheese. The mascarpone will give the mixture a luxurious texture, similar to the cream found in traditional tiramisu.

    Sweeten the creamy layer with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to your taste. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. This creamy layer will not only add a delightful richness but also a tangy balance to the sweetness of the oats.

    3. Assemble the Parfaits

    Once the oatmeal has fully absorbed the liquid and softened, it’s time to assemble the parfaits. In your serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the oatmeal mixture. The rich, coffee-flavored oats create a sturdy base for the parfait.

    Next, add a layer of the creamy yogurt mixture. The contrast between the dark, chocolatey oats and the light, creamy yogurt mimics the layers of a traditional tiramisu, both in flavor and appearance. Continue layering, alternating between the oatmeal and yogurt mixtures, until you reach the top of your glass. Aim to end with a layer of the creamy  yogurt mixture for a visually appealing presentation.

    4. Finish and Serve

    For the final touch, dust the top layer with  cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. This step not only enhances the tiramisu-inspired look but also adds a slight bitterness that complements the sweetness of the parfait.

    Serve the parfaits immediately for a fresh and delicious breakfast, or refrigerate them until ready to enjoy. These parfaits can be made ahead of time, making them a convenient and luxurious option for busy mornings.

    CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 

    Table of Contents

    🔷Ingredients:

    100 gr butter
    175 gr sugar
    1 egg
    a pinch of salt
    a few drops of vanilla essence
    200 gr flour
    4 gr Royal baking powder
    100 gr chocolate chips

    Preparation🔶:

    1. Beat the butter at room temperature with the sugar until whitened, add the vanilla essence, the pinch of salt and the egg, mix well. Sift the flour with the Royal baking powder and add it to the previous mixture. Finally add the chocolate chips. Form a soft dough ball without kneading it too much. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
    2. . Roll out the dough half a centimeter thick, cut circles and place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 190º C for approximately 7 minutes. Tips: You will realize that they are ready when the edges of the cookies begin to look slightly browned. It is important not to wait for them to brown on top, otherwise they will be too hard when they cool down.
    3.  It is important to let the dough rest in the refrigerator so that they keep their shape when cooked. To stretch the dough we can help us with a little flour on the counter, but be careful not to overdo it, otherwise the cookies would be like stones.
    4.  You can use chocolate chips, which are available in almost any supermarket, but you can also chop chocolate bars.

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ½ cup chocolate chips
    Preparation
    1. Pour oats into a large bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: A baking sheet isn’t “required” – a flat surface, like a countertop, works.

    3. Pour peanut butter mixture over reserved oats. Add milk and sugar, and stir until fully incorporated.
    4. Scoop 1 tablespoon full of batter onto baking sheet, pressing down to flatten.
    5. Melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a microwave safe dish, 20 second intervals on medium heat, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is completely melted.
    6. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over top of cookies. Cookies are ready to eat once chocolate has cooled and set. Or, chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. Transfer cookies to a serving platter, or store in an airtight container.
