Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Claudia, Heather shared a recipe here a while back for vegetarian cashew chili. It is delicious and I think it tastes good cold! Another idea could be a quinoa salad.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've done a couple of versions of rice salad, over the years. You can toss a lot of things in that! And, long ago, years before RR, the dish everyone asked me to bring to potlucks was a skin-on potato salad, with hard cooked eggs. Not enough by itself, but an idea...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Claudia, I made this 3-Bean Salad to share at Xmas this year, and got a lot of compliments. Everyone likes edamame. The recipe is from RecipeZaar. I doubled it. Cheers, Erica Pea and Bean Salad With Shaved Pecorino Cheese Recipe #221752 by Kumquat the Cat's friend We both loved this. Very light, fresh tasting, good-for-you salad and the flavor improves the next day. I love edamame beans (aka soybeans), they are widely available frozen if not fresh. This makes a great side dish for dinner, and eat the leftovers at work for lunch. Add a bit more cheese if you can afford the calories. This is a Sara Foster recipe, from the April issue of Cottage Living. 25 min | 10 min prep SERVES 4 1 cup edamame, fresh or frozen 1 cup lima beans, fresh or frozen 1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen 1 small lemon, juice and zest of (1 tsp zest, 2+1/2 Tbl juice) 3 Tbl white wine vinegar 2 green onions, minced 2 Tbl fresh mint, chopped plus more for garnish 1 Tbl fresh chives, chopped 1 Tbl extra-virgin olive oil sea salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1 ounce pecorino cheese, shaved 1. Cook edamame in boiling salted water about 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove with slotted spoon, plunge in cold water and drain. Add peas to the boiling water and cook about 4 minutes, repeating draining process. Repeat with lima beans, cooking about 5 minutes. 2. Combine lemon zest, juice and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Place peas and beans in a medium bowl and toss with vinaigrette. Top with pecorino and additional mint if desired. -- 917:257.3357 Did you see my new portfolio? www.energy7.com Yoga love: www.yogoer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
