Vietnamese Salad with Grilled Tofu
This chilled salad makes for a wonderful summertime dish. It would make a great side to bring along to a picnic or party and isn’t nearly as heavy as many traditional oil-based salads (although I’m not convinced it couldn’t use a bit of oil in the dressing). This is a 3-step salad. It requires dressing,…

Julienned Carrots & Zucchini with Pasta
This twist on fettuccine primavera has vegetables and pasta put together so naturally it’s bliss. The carrot, zucchini and pasta get together for a culinary ménage à trois that takes about as long to make as a plate of pasta and marinara. If you don’t have a julienne slicer, this might take a bit of time to…

Sicilian Greens and Chickpeas
This Italian inspired meal puts the spotlight on Italian greens. Sicilian Greens and Chickpeas is an absolute favorite – it’s warm, satisfying and the combination of flavors is surprisingly perfect (oh, it’s nutritious, too!).
