Grapefruit, Avocado & Mango Fruit Salad
Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious light fruit salad. We’re starting to see some glimpses of spring around here – lots of trees blossoming, a couple nice sunny warm days, and more fruit filling up the produce aisle. With that comes spring recipes!

Spicy Lemongrass Miso Salad Dressing
A restaurant remake success that I could just cry over! A Sacramento restaurant called Lemongrass Asian Grill & Noodle Bar makes the most amazing spicy salad dressing ever. You know how restaurants give you an excessively large container of dressing for your takeout salad? Like, well over 1/4 C of dressing. Well, I eat all […]

Balsamic Marinated Tofu Salad
On my drive home from work tonight, there was a gorgeous pink sunset. Loved it! I wanted to take a picture, but my phone was out of reach. I mean . . . that would be unsafe . . . Anyway, it dawned on me why it was so unusual to see a sunset on […]

Mapled Squash & Sauteed Mushroom Fall Salad
Alright, my last couple posts were fall in a mug and fall in a bowl (well, I guess my bowl was really a giant mug. Technicality.) Now fall on a plate! I had originally titled this my “Beckoning Fall Salad,” because I planned to post it last week when the weather was still bright and […]

I’m adding more […]

Sesame Salad w/ Teriyaki Baked Tofu
Wow. I had drafted the intro to this post awhile ago before I actually tested the recipe, but totally had to delete that whole thing because it was not. enthusiastic. enough. I am pretty damn proud of this. In the recent past, I quickly transitioned from tofu-hater-just-due-to-fear to tofu-lover. But I am […]

Lemongrass Green Curry Quinoa Salad
Meet my new favorite lunch. A healthy salad with lots of quinoa and veggies and a dressing that will knock your socks off. The inspiration for this salad? I really need to use up a bottle of Thai green curry paste in my fridge. And now that I’ve discovered this little dressing, I […]

Roasted Cauliflower Salad
How can you say no to cauliflower when it is this beautiful!? Usually I find cauliflower to be a fairly boring vegetable, and rarely buy it. But when I saw a giant beautiful purple cauliflower at the farmer’s market this weekend, I suddenly found myself excited about this often-ignored veggie.
