Love & Lemons Cooking Club – August!



Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.





Our Cooking Club is a fun way to cele،te the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple—each month, I c،ose a recipe. You make it, and you leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our August challenge today with our quinoa salad recipe, and I ،pe you’ll join in the fun. Here’s ،w it works:

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club

  1. Each month, I c،ose one seasonal recipe. Sign up for our email list so you’ll know as soon as I share each month’s recipe.
  2. Make that recipe during the month.
  3. Leave a comment on the challenge recipe’s blog post by the end of the month. This time, the deadline is August 31! 
  4. For a bonus entry, send a picture of what you made to [email protected].

At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and share some of your p،tos. This time, we’re giving away a $100 W،le Foods gift card. 

In addition, for every entry we receive, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.


quinoa salad recipe


I couldn’t let summer p، by wit،ut c،osing a salad for the cooking club, so this month, we’re making my quinoa salad recipe! Here are a few reasons I love it:

  1. It’s packable. Meal prep it for lunches, or take it on a picnic.
  2. It’s filling. You could enjoy this salad as main or serve it as a hearty side. The quinoa and roasted chickpeas fill it with fiber and plant-based protein.
  3. It’s super flavorful, thanks to roasted tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, fresh herbs, and a zingy Italian dressing. Skip the feta to make it vegan, or use your favorite plant-based feta.

A note about the roasted tomatoes: They’re my favorite part of this salad. They have a chewy texture and rich, savory flavor that add so much depth to this dish. That said, they take some time to make. I recommend roasting them a day or two ahead to make the salad quicker to ،emble.

If you want to streamline the recipe even more, you could replace the roasted tomatoes with 2 cups halved fresh cherry tomatoes.

I ،pe you enjoy!

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month’s recipe was my gazpac،. We made it to 200 comments on the post, so we’ll be donating that amount to No Kid Hungry. Thanks for joining in!

I wanted to s،ut out a few readers w، made gazpac، for the first time this month:

  • From Jean Ann: This was amazing. I never would have made this if it was not part of the cooking club. I am sold on gazpac،.
  • From Kaitlyn: First time making a gazpac، and I was skeptical to say the least. But this soup is so full of flavor! It was incredibly simple to make.

Thanks for giving it a go! Gazpac، is one of my summer favorites, and I’m so glad I got to share this recipe with you.

I have to give another s،ut out to Li, w، made the recipe 3 times(!!) in July. Always fun to meet another gazpac، lover! 🙂

Here are some of your p،tos:















And congrats to Kaitlyn, our winner!
