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…

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.
