1 1/2 cups quinoa — uncooked
2 1/2 cups water…

1 3/4 c Filtered water or vegetable stock
1 c Couscous, medium size, toasted…

This simple salad is especially delicious in the autumn when apples are fresh. Using a pre-washed salad mix makes it easy to prepare.

2 lbs. red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 cup frz. corn kernels, thawed…

This is my favorite salad so far, and I made it up pretty much by myself. (Hence the lack of precise measurements.) It looks a bit messy but tastes great.

The tofu makes a very creamy dressing, which you can use in many different recipes such as on tropical fruit for a first course or for a delicate mixed greens salad garnished with fresh fruit. Other possibilities include using it as a dessert sauce over frozen fruit-flavored yogurt or as a flavorful topping for cut-up fruit for dessert.

4 cups cooked garbanzos-(allow to cool)
1 cup roasted red peppers, cut into strips (Trader Joe’s)…

1 lb. bag frozen Italian vegetables
1-2 large tomatoes, chopped…

This hearty colorful salad is a great potluck dish.

Today I whipped together ingredients that were in my fridge to create a filling vegan salad dressing and I really liked the results!
