10 Dishes You Loved in May

From a margarita with a twist to an epic chicken Parm, these are the dishes you loved most in May.
Alex Lau1/10Chopped Spring Salad
This dressing is also great as a dip, and most of the vegetables listed here can be left in bigger pieces and treated as crudités instead.

At Pietro’s, a classic red sauce joint, the cooks deep fry the chicken cutlets in a large, wide skillet, which allows the oil to come up to temperature very quickly and stay there once the cutlet is added.

You’ll notice there’s no triple sec. Trust us, it’s better this way.
Alex Lau4/10BA's Best Quiche Lorraine
Buttery, bacon-y, and custardy, with a very tender, rich crust (thanks to the combination of butter and lard). Call it retro if you want—we say quiche is back.
Alex Lau5/10Crunchy Veg Bowl with Warm Peanut Sauce
A warm, sultry peanut sauce makes even bean sprouts feel indulgent.

Linda Xiao7/10Pineapple-Hibiscus Cocktail
We love the citrusy sour flavor of hibiscus, not to mention its amazing color.

Attention: This is not a smoothie, but you can have it for breakfast if you want.
Alex Lau9/10Spring Minestrone Verde with Pistachio Pesto
Step 1: Prep this simple soffritto and nutty pesto. Step 2: Make beautiful, clean soups on a whim.

Translation: Garlic shrimp. Which explains why there’s a clove of garlic for every shrimp in this saucy dish.
