Carrot and Beet Salad With Coconut Lime Dressing

Fri, 15 May 2009 10:56:39 -0400

Fast, perfectly refreshing & vivid magenta (unless using golden beets). An awesome salad that is the perfect introduction to those not acquainted with the glories of raw beets. This recipe is from the New Orleans Vegetarian Society - published in The Times-Picayune. Oh & did I mention the dressing becomes magenta? BTW - this salad is really, really good for you - reduce the dressing if the calories from the coconut milk worry you - save half for the next salad. BTW beets & carrots are great beginner gardener vegetables - everyone loves pulling a beautiful carrot or beet from the ground. -- posted by Buster's friend

This recipe was inpired by a salad dressing recipe that I made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag, recipe #372633 - I tagged the dressing, but had no lettuce, so I came up with a salad to go with it. It turned out fantastic, so I'm posting it here. Cook time does not include overnight marinade time. Yes, it makes alot, but it's easily scaled down. Note that for easier measuring, 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup. -- posted by Katzen

Quinoa and Raisin Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

These vegan beauties look wonderful. They would make a great low calorie (yet filling) lunch or even work as a main course for dinner! Feel free to fill smaller tomatoes and use as an appetizer or side dish. Recipe from the California Raisin Marketing Board. NOTE: After making this dish. . .I suggest making up a little extra dressing and pouring atop the salad filled tomato just before serving to perk up the flavors. Also, use the full 3/4 cup of raisins, as they are truly the star of this dish. I also added some yellow bell pepper which was great. Just some thoughts :) -- posted by JanuaryBride

Vinegret. Russian Vegetarian Salad

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:09:28 -0400

Vinegret [vee-nee-grate] is one of the traditional vegetarian Russian dish, usually Russians cook in on a New Years eve. The word Vinegret means mishmash. This salad is very simple but contains a less of calories, healthy, and has a rich taste. To tell you the truth, I hate boiled beet and carrot.. eek.. but their taste is absolutely different in this salad, you can hardly feel them here. The best way to spend as less time as possible is to boil all ingredients the day before you need them. -- posted by TasteRussian

I got this recipe from my little sister. It was called Caramel Apple Salad, but I personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. Other recipes I've seen on 'Zaar all have pineapple, so I am posting this one as it does not.

Three Grain Salad With Grapefruit

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:12:16 -0400

I've been making this salad for a few years now, and can't remember where the original came from. I've used many different combinations of grains for this, choosing from bulgar, barley, quinoa, wild rice, brown rice, couscous, wheatberries and speltberries. I basically gather up three of whatever I have on hand, cook them up and mix. Consequently, the preparation time can vary widely. Sometimes I use the poblano I call for, sometimes I use some crushed red pepper flakes instead. -- posted by Chef Edlear

Wheat Berry Salad With Red Fruit

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:14 -0400

For this sweet and tart salad, wheat berries are blended with cranberries, apples and pecans and tossed in a raspberry vinaigrettea winning combination. A perfect side dish to take to a potluck or simply serve it over a bed of peppery arugula for vegan lunch. Recipe from Eating Well March/April 2007. NOTE: cooking time is resting time. If you wish to sweeten your salad up a bit but don't have Agave, feel free to sub 1 T of honey. Also of note, using peaches and mango in place of the red fruit (thereby making this wheat berry salad with ORANGE fruit) would be delightful!!!! This salad is even better on day 2, so it's a great make ahead recipe. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Tangy, Zesty Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:48:18 -0400

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!!

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Cooked farro has a nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, both of which are particularly delicious in salads like this one. Use your favorite variety of apple to make this late summer and early fall salad. Sliced pears are a perfect match, too. From Whole Foods. I've not tried this one yet. -- posted by Katzen

Gomae - Japanese Style Spinach Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:18:52 -0400

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man.

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

A wonderful recipe that combines a rich, tropical essence with a natural crunch. This simple and easy recipe will have you licking your plate! It's natural, raw, and combines sweet with bitter in a way that shouldn't be possible. However not only is this possible, it's delicious. This is adapted from Freedom's Raw Recipes (http://bit.ly/1IeyHo) and modified so that it requires no special equipment. All you will need to make this recipe is a knife and a blender. -- posted by Winkyboy

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:33:23 -0500

I saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef recently. I haven't made it, but love grains and middle eastern style salads, so I'm guessing I'll like this. I'm saving it here until I hunt down the freekeh to make it with. Freekeh is whole wheat harvested green. -- posted by JustJanS
