  • Cucumber, Corn and Avocado Salad

    Cucumber, Corn and Avocado Salad

    A cold, satisfying, fruit-and-veggie salad is just perfect for the summer! We JUST got done with a mad crazy heat wave that sent me spiraling on an “eat only the cold things!” spell, with a touch of “eat only the things I don’t have to turn on stoves or oven for!”Something about chilled refreshing cucumbers…

  • Breaded Artichoke Salad

    Bowl-licking salad recipe ahead!If you read regularly, you know I’m a sucker for a recipe that is a nice compromise between packing in some healthy goodies but still feels like a splurge. My go-to meal when I want unhealthy food is to make some kind of special treat and throw it on a salad. That…

  • Squash & Brussels Sprouts Pasta Salad w/ Brown Sugar Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Long title, I know!  But I just couldn’t imagine leaving anything out, every ingredient is a selling point with this dish.  Roasted veggies, pasta, and a sweet-and-tangy vinaigrette = my new winning dish.   Plus candied pecans!  But enough was enough in the title 🙂 Just a quickie post for you today, jumping straight to the…

  • Sweet Curried Carrot Slaw

    I have a couple friends who raved about this curry carrot salad at the Co-Op in Sacramento.  They love it.  Crave it.  Tell me I must must must try it. I went.  They were out.  A few times. Finally I got this salad a couple weeks ago. Meh.

  • Truffled Strawberry Salad

    The first salad for my June Salad-a-Day Challenge is very special to me.  We had a little reunion this weekend.  We had a little rift after I gave up goat cheese to become vegan.  He’s finally come around with an equally wonderfully vegan version.  So I decided we could make it work after all. This…

  • June Salad Challenge + Basil Gnocchi + Roasted Asparagus Salad

      Ohmygosh it’s June already! Can you believe it? I am done with all the posts about myself, but I really did enjoy having a blogging challenge last month.  This month I’m giving myself a new challenge: a salad a day.  I always aim for a salad a day, but it’s usually just a goal…

  • Caprese Salad w/Cashew Buffalo Mozzarella

    Vegan cashew mozzarella has arrived! I had the fantastic opportunity to see Miyoko Schinner, the author of an amazing book Artisan Vegan Cheese, do a cooking demonstration. It. was. mind-blowing.

  • Avocado Wasabi Cole Slaw

      I bought myself a long-overdue awesome present yesterday!

  • Avocado-Cilantro Dressing & Tex-Mex Salad

    Happy holiday, lovelies!  I have a yummy salad recipe for you today that I’ve been procrastinating because I have absolutely nothing to create a good intro with.  It’s not inspired by an old favorite, I don’t have any interesting anecdote about how I created it.  It’s just a really good salad.  With an awesome creamy…

  • Pizza Roll Salad

    Pizza Roll Salad

    You know those days when you really want to indulge in something unhealthy, but you really shouldn’t? Well, I’ve taken to putting a small portion of that unhealthy craving on a salad.  Every time, my craving is satisfied and I have zero regrets about a small indulgence when it’s on top of a yummy loaded…
