Hello Fresh June 10 Review and Coupon #hellofreshpics

The latest Hello Fresh had some great twists on summer favorites, with steak, burgers, and a big salad.  Hello Fresh is a meal kit subscription box where you’ll get the recipes and ingredients to make 3 meals for two (or 4) every week. Hello Fresh is a subscription, but you can pause your deliveries and choose alternate meals (at least for the Classic box). There’s also a vegetarian box available. This is a solid meal subscription box with easy and accessible recipes.  Take $40 off your first box with coupon code 7UT7K8. 

Hello Fresh recently redesigned their menu cards, and the instructions are super easy to follow.  It has nice illustrations, is clearly written, and even lets you know nutrition info, prep time, and which recipes are best to make first to optimize freshness of perishables.  Hello Fresh sends all the sauces, bouillon and such in individual serving packets or in off-the-shelf brand name packaging; although it means a little more packaging, they survive shipping better than the plastic cups used by Plated.

Mediterranean Chicken Salad with Black Olive-Sherry Vinaigrette – Level 1, 35 minutes

 Tossed with a garlicky sherry-vinaigrette, this hearty salad had the feel of a salade Nicoise — except butterbeans and tender chicken were welcome substitutes for the traditional egg and tuna.  Blanched haricot provide some crispness.  Easy and quick to prepare.

Quick-Marinated Steak with Balsamic-Glazed Summer Vegetables – Level 1, 30 minutes

 Roasting brings out the best in veggies.  An orange-garlic vinegar glaze adds some zing.  A little bit of simple knife work is required.  The biggest challenge is getting the pyramidal cut of steak to cook just right in a pan.

Thai Pork Laarb Burger with Cucumber-Mint Salad (alternate selection) – Level 2, 35 minutes

 Larb is one of my favorites, and this dish captures the great flavors of the Thai classic in a burger.  Brioche is always a welcome addition.  I would have liked a little crunch with this dish, like sweet potato fries instead of cucumber salad, but the flavors were superb.

One of the great things about Hello Fresh is the ease of preparati0n.  The knife work is simple, and I’m always amazed at the great flavors I can get using just a few key herbs and seasonings. Take $40 off your first box with coupon code 7UT7K8.

Here are the selections for next week! Meal choices end Wednesdays at midnight.

You can click on each dish and get the recipe information, including calories, ingredients, and difficulty levels. Brandy isn’t a big seafood eater but the cornbread pie sounds pretty great, and I’m happy to see the return of those collards.
