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…

New Flora: Jackfruit + Taco Salad
It has been so long since I’ve done a new flora post! This one is really exciting. Hopefully you’ve heard of jackfruit, but if not then I am excited to be the one to tell you! Jackfruit is often used as a shredded meat replacement because it naturally has that texture. So today I’m sauteing…

Do you want a dressing recipe that will make you crave and devour a salad? Thought so. I saw a bottle of creamy roasted garlic dressing awhile ago on sale at the store. I rarely buy pre-bottled dressing, but was trying to eat salads more often so I wanted a nice variety of options. …

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.

Ginger Sesame Carrot Slaw
Just a quick little post for you today! I needed a refreshing fast veggie dish for a hot and busy summer. And one that doesn’t require turning on the stove at all. You can whip this together in no time, and it is light and bright and filling.
