French Salad Recipe

A French salad recipe can honestly be made with any green you prefer, be it arugula, spinach, mixed greens, or any other variety of salad greens. The magic of a French salad is in the French vinaigrette.

It's very rare to see a French salad with a heavy dressing. Instead, you'll find a light, lemon vinaigrette like the one shared here on a variety of French salads.

I like to whip this French vinaigrette as my go-to salad dressing for all sorts of salads, no matter the season or type of salad. Get the recipe here.

Gougeres Recipe

If I'm hosting a party, I try to mix things up and swap out the usual cheese and crackers you'll find during cocktail hour with these irresistible gougeres.

These cheesy beauties are as light as air. I like to think of them as pillow-y clouds of cheesy goodness, made with a pate a choux dough (the same dough used for cream puffs and éclairs) and flavorful cheeses.

They can be whipped up in a matter of minutes and baked to golden perfection for easy entertaining. Get the recipe here.

Brie en Croute Recipe

Another entertaining favorite is this brie en croute recipe. While the French typically reserve the cheese course for after dinner, I can't help but present this dish at the start of a party. Trust me, nothing says it's going to be a great night like a round of baked cheese inside golden pastry.

This is a foolproof recipe that anyone can make, whether you're a typically baker or not.

While you may see photos of a finished ratatouille with perfectly arranged vegetables, most French people actually chop up their veggies and toss them together when they make this dish at home.

Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Another favorite one-pot meal, coq au vin is similar to beef bourguignon in that the meat is cooked in wine, however, instead of beef, you'll use chicken.

I've used both red and white wine to create this easy French recipe, but my favorite is white wine. When I use white wine, I add cream and turn this into a dreamy dinner that I can make any night of the week, for any occasion.

When I make this for my family, I simply serve it with a loaf of crusty French bread as the pan sauce definitely begs for some bread dipping! Get the recipe here.
