Finding Joy in Healthy Living
Everyone needs a go-to salad that can be made at a moment’s notice and pairs well with almost any meal, right? You’re in luck – this napa cabbage salad with lemon vinaigrette is just that kind of salad!
A spin off of your more traditional creamy slaw, this cabbage salad is fresh, crunchy, slightly tangy, and satisfying. It pairs perfectly with Asian dishes, your favorite summer barbecue or cook-out, or almost any other meal for that matter….
I love a good ranch dressing… On salad, pizza, burgers, mac and cheese… You get the picture. Since becoming vegan, however, I’ve been hard-pressed to find a vegan ranch that I really like! So, I set out to fix the problem once and for all… Allow me to introduce the BEST homemade vegan ranch!
This ranch works great as a dip or a dressing. Thick, creamy, tangy, herby… It hits the spot. Not only is it yummy, it’s SUPER easy to make and includes 9 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard or fridge. Plus, it is SO much cheaper to make your own than to buy a pre-made vegan dressing….
Happy February, everyone!! It’s hard to believe that January has already come and gone… I have a feeling that 2018 is going to go by even quicker than 2017 did. Yikes.
The ingredients required are basic, and can also be switched up as desired. You could use a yellow or orange pepper instead of a red one, add some tomato, a handful of sunflower or hemp seeds, or just about any other favorite veggie or topping. The key to this salad is to keep it simple, nutritious, and delicious. (Now if only everything else in life were that easy…) …
I hope you’re all enjoying the long, warm summer days. Those of us in the northern half of the States certainly are (I’m in denial that snow is only a few months away). I love summer foods – salads, burgers, and cold, sweet treats. So I’m back this week to share another favorite with you! Four words: Creamy Vegan Potato Salad….
For as long as I can remember, this Red Leaf Lettuce Salad has been a staple at all of our major family events and get-togethers. Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays… You name it – we always requested it. 😉 In fact, we still request it. Somehow, it always tastes best when mom makes it, and I have a feeling it’s due to the extra measure of love she mixes in….
Summer is officially here, and warm days call for cool, fresh food. Even better – food that doesn’t require an oven. Enter this incredible southwest black bean and corn salad! Not only is it super easy to make, but it is fresh, chilled, and exploding with flavor. This is a salad that anyone can enjoy, and is an easy way to add protein (and more!) to any meal….
