Orange and Beet Salad

At night when I can’t sleep I read recipe books. I saw a recipe that included beets and thought this might be just the thing I needed to perk up my salad routine. Beets are super nutritious (iron, vitamin B-6, magnesium, potassium,  folate and manganese among other things), but I don’t cook with them that often,… Read More Orange and Beet Salad

Kale Orange and Almond Salad

This is another favorite salad of mine. It is pretty simple, but it is another great way to eat kale! I also love how summery the salad looks. And this is a good one for January because oranges are usually one of the best things in the produce aisle this time of year. Kale Orange and… Read More Kale Orange and Almond Salad

Quinoa Tabouleh Salad

Last week as I was poking though the kitchen cupboards thinking “what is all this stuff?” I found a bag a quinoa that I had bought last winter. When I saw it in the store I remember thinking “Why don’t I ever make quinoa? ” And then I bought it — and never made quinoa.… Read More Quinoa Tabouleh Salad

Three Bean Salad

Over the weekend I was visiting family in Minnesota and my sister Jane asked me if I wanted to look through mom’s old recipe boxes and see if there was anything I wanted. There were several that sparked inspiration in me for a nutritarian makeover, including an old classic — Three Bean Salad. The original… Read More Three Bean Salad

PB and J Kale Salad

Salad that tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Yes, it’s true. Or at least I think it does — let me know in the comments if you do too. This recipe is my own creation. I’ve not seen anything quite like it out there on the interwebs. Please note that this makes one… Read More PB and J Kale Salad

FOK Orange, Fennel and White Bean Salad

I really could not believe how tasty this salad was. I’m not a big fennel person but I wanted to mix things up a bit so thought I would give this recipe from the “Forks Over Knives” cookbook a try. It was just so fresh and delicious tasting! And it is super simple too.  Ingredients:… Read More FOK Orange, Fennel and White Bean Salad

Guest Recipe: Stoplight Salad

My co-worker Melissa was telling me about a salad she made for her husband and three girls that she thought would be “nutritarian approved” so I asked her to send me the recipe. This is what she sent: Stoplight Salad Ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, cubed 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half 3 ears… Read More Guest Recipe: Stoplight Salad

Emergency Bean Salad #2

Someday I hope to have time to cook something again, but in the meantime … This is only for pseudo emergencies because it requires having recently gone to the store. But with only two ingredients it doesn’t get much simpler.  Ingredients: Store-bought pico di gallo Canned low or no-sodium black or other beans, rinsed Instructions:… Read More Emergency Bean Salad #2

Emergency Bean Salad #1

When you have no time, or no energy, to cook, this will get the job done. And though it is simple, it will be tastier, and a million times more nutritious, than any fast food meal or S. A. D. (standard American diet) takeout.  Ingredients: 1 package “steam in the bag” vegetables  1/2 can beans… Read More Emergency Bean Salad #1

Costa Rican Mango Avocado Salad

So I am back from Costa Rica! It was a wonderful vacation and yes, I feasted on tropical fruit the whole time I was there. I also took many pictures of the food we ate — but sadly on the way home I left my phone on the airplane and with it all of my… Read More Costa Rican Mango Avocado Salad
