This quinoa salad is by far one of the most exciting salads that I’ve tasted. It’s bright and zesty. It’s exciting and lively. It makes it a great accompaniment for grilled or roasted meat, poultry and seafood. Though, it doesn’t mean that this salad can’t be enjoyed on its own. It’s just as delicious as the slightly less zesty Mediterranean quinoa salad. To get that wonderful zesty and cheerful taste I combined lime juice with lime zest, fresh mint and red hot pepper flakes....
Sausages are meant to be cooked over high heat. When cooking them in an air fryer, set the temperature as high as possible. No, it won’t burn. You’ll be lucky if you get any browning going before the sausage cooks through – the internal temperature of 165F. My air fryer goes to 410F, that’s what I cook my chicken sausage at. It works great. 400F will do too. Speaking about browning, if you think you can just drop that pale thing in your air fryer and, magically, it will come out all golden-brown and crispy – think again....

While thousands of ethnic dishes have been successfully adapted to our Western palates, we still seek authenticity and value it over convenience of using readily available local ingredients, taking shortcuts during preparation and enjoying familiar tastes.

This recipe is also one of the healthiest pork chop recipes. It’s low carb, or practically zero carb and fat is kept at a minimum....
