One foil packet, four ingredients, about 15 minutes on the grill — asparagus that's tender-crisp, never mushy, with a fork test you can set a timer by. If it doesn't fit a Tuesday night, it doesn't get published.
The pasta salad I make when I want something that feels special without three pots and a mountain of dishes. Creamy avocado does the heavy lifting, the dressing is olive oil and lemon, and the bacon adds a salty crunch. 15 minutes of prep, and it holds up at a BBQ or on my own kitchen table.
Crisp cabbage, cucumber, and a zesty yogurt-herb dressing — this green goddess salad comes together in 15 minutes, keeps for 3 days in the fridge, and genuinely tastes better on day two. The good kind of simple.
