This salad pairs well with grilled chicken, burgers and hot dogs for a summer barbecue, but is also great with chicken, shrimp, steak or salmon cooked in an air fryer for a casual weekday meal.

The last time I made this, my boy was actively devoured. The recipe is a fun twist on a classic pasta salad. With its rich flavors, no one can accuse this pasta salad of boring!

Cajun flavor

Cajun flavors are characterized by a spicy, earthy seasoning blend that packs a little punch thanks to ingredients such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and other various herbs. Another mainstay of Cajun cuisine is the aforementioned “Holy Trinity.” Celery, onions, peppers.

You can definitely buy good Cajun seasonings at most grocery stores in North America. But I’m a good homemade seasoning blend sucker and this homemade Cajun seasoning recipe is my favorite.

Cajun cuisine

We shouldn’t be surprised by the huge fans of Cajun cuisine here. Steak bites are the mainstay of meal planning rotations on weekdays. And these Cajun Steak Bites have enough kicks to please both my spice lover and the adventurous.

Spicy Cajun Potatoes are a great side dish for grilled and roasted meat. Also, chopped tender eggs on top, or throw them in a little sausage or bacon into an egg burrito for a delicious taste.

Spicy sausages and tender shrimp make this jambalaya pasta dinner and everyone wants a few seconds. This cocky one-pot pasta is your beloved weekday dinner.

Cajun Dipping Sauce is the support star of the seafood boil show, offering a fiery, smoky punch with every bite. But I can’t stop there! Drizzle over hot roasted potatoes and serve with grilled chicken as a soak in fresh vegetables.
