This salad is based on one I had recently at one of my favorite restaurants, Blackbird Kitchen + Bar in Sacramento. I love brussels sprouts, and I'm always thrilled to find new ways to serve them, so when I tried Blackbird's salad, I started trying to figure out how to reverse engineer it. I don't know how close I got ...

Colorful Farro Salad
Here is a light, healthy meal to help you detox from all that holiday food! To me, nothing is more refreshing and nutritious than a big grain salad - you have your grain, your vegetables and your protein from the beans all in one bowl - who needs more! Farro is a member of the wheat family, and has pleasantly chewy ...
Artichoke-Potato Salad with Lemon Dressing
This potato salad is fresh, bright and light. Instead of a mayonnaise dressing, I used mustard, heart-healthy oil and fresh lemon. Around the holidays, grocery stores often have sales on baking potatoes. I bought a 10-lb. bag for $.99. I also used the artichoke hearts that are water-canned versus ...
Mediterranean Lentil Salad
From the authors, Gina and Jeremy: One of the best ways to cool off in the summer is with a cold salad. We are easily bored with leafy green salads and usually want a little more protein in our meal. When we feel the need to have a light, healthy, and cheap option we turn to a tangy lentil salad. This Mediterranean ...
French Potato Salad
I'm not sure this counts as a "French" potato salad in any kind of classic sense - it evolved out of my quick-and-dirty adaptation of the way Julia Child tells you to make the potatoes for salade Niçoise in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, with the addition of some Spanish and just generally summery spices. Despite ...
Refrigerator Garlic Dill Pickles
From the author, Honor Fabun: These Refrigerator Garlic Dill Pickles pickles require some time to hang out in the fridge, but the hands-on prep work is quick and easy. And the fact that they aren’t cooked in the brine keeps them extra crispy. Plan ahead and make your own pickles for a bbq or picnic. I picked up my ...
Pita Panzanella Salad
From the author, Honor Fabun: The pita bread we buy is preservative-free, and I find that if we don’t eat it within a couple of days, it starts to stale. So, I tossed the last two into a Panzanella Salad in lieu of the crusty bread that is traditionally used. It’s tomato season at the farmer’s market and on Saturday ...
Tanzanian Quinoa Salad with Grapefruit and Avocado
Quinoa's a fantastic grain (or not a grain, really, but, according to Wikipedia, "a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds") - not only delicious, but also super healthy. (It's one of the few complete proteins in the plant world, and it's high in fiber and calcium.) This Tanzanian Quinoa salad (adapted ...
Summer Pasta Salad
Excerpt from the book, Plant-Based on a Budget: Just like the name says, this Summer Pasta Salad is one of my favorite dishes to share in a group setting, and it holds up through transportation and hot weather. It’s packed with flavor, it’s customizable, and no one thinks twice about the fact that it’s vegan. From ...
Easy Baked Falafel
Here is a great lunch, dinner, or snack year-round! If you are baking these in the summer, get up early to avoid the heat. These will keep for several days and can be reheated in a toaster oven (or microwave). The texture of these falafel balls will be slightly different than what you are used to. That is caused by ...
Tomato and Silken Tofu Caprese Salad
Caprese salad's one of those dishes that's done so often, and usually so indifferently, that it's easy to forget how fantastic the real thing, with mozzarella di bufala and fresh, ripe tomatoes, can be. This version substitutes silken tofu for the mozzarella, and while it's not the same as making it with cheese, the ...
