Brussel Sprouts are not my favourite vegetable by any means. Sometimes if they are roasted & seasoned with maple syrup….haha….I can eat them! But I do like them raw in this salad. Paired with Kale, this is so healthy & fresh.
I love this salad dressing. It is adapted from a recipe on the Canadian Living Magazine website. This is one of my ‘go-to’ salad dressings. The salad that I have put it on tonight has roasted sweet potatoes & roasted yellow pepper. lettuce, tomatoes,cucumber & sliced almonds. I like this dressing on a salad with a grain added to it. I use it a lot … Continue reading Tahini Salad Dressing
I love pasta salad, but the problem is sometimes I find that the pasta is quite tasteless & worse for me is if it is undercooked…or overcooked I suppose! I realize I don’t love the vegetables in there either…I am not being critical of other peoples pasta salads…I just wanted to make mine a bit different & see how it turned out.

If the salad is made with kale it lasts a bit longer in the fridge as left-overs because the kale does not get too soggy., though I personally like a soft piece of spinach with the quinoa…When I put this salad together I thought about the different … Continue reading Spinach Salad with Quinoa

This salad has Kale, roasted butternut squash and chickpeas with a tahini dressing. I will be using this dressing on other things because I really liked it. ( I added another teaspoon of honey because I just thought it … Continue reading Kale Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash & Chickpeas
I had some broccoli crowns in the fridge, some carrots and purple cabbage so decided to make it all into a salad. It turned out really nicely. The key, Murray says, is to cut the broccoli up into small pieces. The dressing is a slightly sweet with the addition of maple syrup. I have changed the type of vinegar in the dressing from the original recipe … Continue reading Chopped Broccoli Salad
