Salads are a staple for me. As I write this, it’s summer. It’s hot outside. Like, really really hot. It is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day and I just don’t want to turn on my stove. Luckily, my garden is full of greens so I’ve been eating a ton of salad. Making your own oil-free salad dressings is quite easy. Most can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. They are a quick, affordable, healthy, and delicious alternative to grocery store dressings.
Roasted vegetables are a staple for me. When I need an easy meal, I just toss whatever vegetables I have in a glass baking dish along with some spices and throw it all in the oven. This can make a lovely side side for a meal but I often find myself relying on a big bowl of roasted vegetables as an entree. These roasted root vegetables are filling and full of fiber, nutrients and antioxidants
I’ve always loved tabbouleh but I had to stop ordering it in restaurants many years ago when I stopped eating wheat. This tabbouleh inspired salad is great alternative to traditional tabbouleh (which is made with bulgar wheat). It is refreshing and lemony and the quinoa gives it a nice texture.
Ginger and sweet potatoes are nutritional powerhouses. This soup is a staple in my house and the addition of ginger makes it especially warming on cold days.
I’ve been on a wild rice kick lately. I just finished making a big pot of this Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup and now I’m making a wild rice salad to take to a (socially distanced, outdoor) holiday dinner. In spite of being served cold, wild rice and roasted beets make this a hearty salad that is definitely suitable for winter and holiday meals.
The snow is falling here in Utah and it’s finally starting to look like Winter. This means that I just want to stay inside, keep warm and eat soup…every day. I only recently started using the Instant Pot for soups and it’s been a major game changer. This wild rice soup comes together quickly and easily. You really just throw everything together and forget about it while it cooks. Then, 30 minutes later…SOUP!
