I grew up on plain jane salads. I bet you did too. Iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and (maybe) a little cucumber. Mine always came with Thousand Island dressing. Salad didn’t have a great reputation as a food<\/em>. \u00a0Then the lowly salad experienced an image update, it became a desirable \u2018diet\u2019 food, functional in terms of filling up the dieter without adding calories but it was yet to be considered…..delicious.<\/p>\n

Now salads are hearty, drool-worthy delights.<\/h3>\n

When my daughter is home she always says, \u201cMom\u2026can you please make one of your salads\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

While I\u2019m happy to comply I always laugh.<\/p>\n

I use a recipe for absolutely everything except <\/em>my salads and those are the most requested items in my repertoire. Go figure!<\/p>\n

My crispers are always loaded with veggies and I put whatever I\u2019ve got in the salad. \u00a0I think the thing that makes salads interesting and yummy is not just the variety of flavors but the textures found in the bowl. \u00a0I use peelers, graters, mandolin slicers and spiralizers to prep my ingredients.<\/p>\n

The Super\u00a0Salad Bowl<\/strong> is a modern salad<\/em> and a favorite in my house, the protein content rivals any meat entr\u00e9e. It’s an “Oh WOW” \u00a0for those wanting to incorporate more plant based eating into their diets and all the fresh ingredients give a beautiful, radiant glow to the skin.<\/p>\n

The Super Salad Bowl<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Base<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use chopped romaine (shown) or any greens blend or \u00bd cup cooked quinoa or 1\/2 cup brown rice (per serving).<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/a>

Super Salad Base<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0The Veggies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For this one I used \u00a0\u2013 sliced avocado, spiralized beets, julieened carrots, chick pea salad, hummus, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber<\/p>\n

You could also use any combination of the following – black beans, celery, peppers, red cabbage, fennel, shelled edamame beans, fresh corn, sweet onion, red onions, hard boiled eggs, turnip, roasted diced or sliced yams, green peas, radish, daikon, zucchini, green beans, steamed or roasted asparagus, sprouts, capers, boiled new potatoes or micro greens.<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/a>

Super Salad Veggies and Dressing<\/p><\/div>\n

The Top<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I love crunch so I often use roasted pepitas but this time I sprinkled the Super Salad with a raw and crunchy hemp, chia, golden flax, brown flax, buckwheat blend I buy in the natural isle of the grocery store.<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/a>

Super Salad All Dressed<\/p><\/div>\n

The Dressing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The dressing is adapted from OH She Glows<\/a> one of my favorite cook books and contains raw (soaked) cashews which bumps up the protein content. \u00a0The recipe is enough for 2-4 servings I always double it so I have lots left over.<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup water<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup raw cashews – soak for at least 2 hours or overnight<\/p>\n

3-4 tbsp lemon juice<\/p>\n

2 tbsp *nutritional yeast<\/p>\n

2 tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n

1 small garlic clove<\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp salt<\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp onion powder<\/p>\n

Put cashews in a bowl, cover with water and leave overnight. Drain. Blend cashews with 1\/2 cup water. Add all ingredients and process until smooth.<\/p>\n

*\u201cWhat\u2019s nutritional yeast<\/a>??\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0I use it a lot. You’ll find it in the natural food section at grocery store and it has a nutty, cheesy taste.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Chick Pea Salad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(Try this on bread or toast as an alternative to tuna salad)<\/p>\n

1 can chick peas drained<\/p>\n

2 stalks celery diced<\/p>\n

\u00bc c dill pickle diced<\/p>\n

2- 3 tbsp mayonnaise or vegannaise<\/p>\n

1 clove garlic minced<\/p>\n

2 tsp lemon juice<\/p>\n

Sea salt to taste<\/p>\n

Fresh cracked pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Mix all together.<\/p>\n

You can also use this as an alternative to tuna salad.<\/p>\n

If you want to try it as a sandwich filling (its really good!) mash chick peas with a potato masher.<\/p>\n

The Super Salad<\/strong>\u00a0Bowl<\/strong> will bring new meaning to salad.<\/p>\n

Try it. I’d love to know what you think.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
