Salads. I love them. My kitchen turns into a giant salad bar during the summer. They're cool and quick and take little effort to throw together. The combinations are endless: greens, veggies, fruits, sea veg, beans, pate, hummus, nooch, fresh, dried, roasted, fermented. If you think salads are boring, then you must be making boring salads! This is what I've been chomping on lately:
sweet potato, dulse, edamame, sunflower seeds, spinach
avocado, red quinoa, edamame, mixed baby greens
falafel, apple, steamed baby beets, acorn squash, mixed greens
sunflower pate, dulse, apple, steamed beets, edamame, greens
NOOCH!, sweet potato, dulse, avocado, sunflower seeds, spinach
arugula, PICKLES!, sunflower sea veg pate, edamame, baby greens
dulse, edamame, greens
Then comes the dressing. I like mine creamy with a nice combo of sweet & salty flavors. Ingredients that I tend to mix up are miso, tahini, lemon juice, agave, and apple cider vinegar. If I'm in a rush and want to use a bottled dressing I usually go for Annie's Goddess, my old favorite stand-by. How do you like your salad and dressing?
