Never underestimate the impact of a side salad—a tasty and low-calorie addition to your meal (just don’t pour on heavy, high-calorie dressing). Garnish fish and seafood plates with small, colorful salads for added color and flavor. Buy a mesclun mix with red oak-leaf lettuce and other colors and textures; or for pungent flavor, mix arugula, mustard greens, radish sprouts and radicchio. Dress the salads lightly with a vinaigrette before plating.

Savory or sweet, stuffed pretzels are a comforting snack. |
|
There are certain categories in which “twisted” means good. Pretzels is one. Kim & Scott’s is twisted to the max: jumbo, soft, whole grain pretzels, stuffed with savory and sweet ingredients (we prefer the savory). The pretzels are sold frozen, ready to be baked or microwaved into rewarding treats—just like the original “pretiola.” The pretzels are handmade, all natural, vegetarian and made in a nut-free facility. Kim & Scott’s also makes non-stuffed pretzels and related products.
From Cheddar Jalapeño and Spinach Feta to Apple Cinnamon and Chocolate Crumb, see what we thought of all the savory and sweet varieties of Kim & Scott’s Stuffed Pretzels in the full review.
