Had a successful, simple, salad dinner last night?
Something based on Kake's cauliflower salad: tinyurl.comsj1mOpen ↗ where I steamed the veg first,
omitted the garlic and coriander leaf, added the salt to the dressing and then substituted plain old
curry powder for garam masala. Changed it completely, now that I think about it, but got the
inspiration from Kake's recipe 🙂
Peeled sweet potatoes, and chopped into bite sized pieces, roasted at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for
about 20 minutes, then mixed with dried chopped cranberries, chopped walnuts, and a dressing of
lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, and a bit of rice vinegar. I had this at a friends, and think
she got it from a cookbook, but again I made up my version.
Bagged washed green salad (Italian variety) with a dressing of 1 part soy sauce, 1 part rice
vinegar, some crushed garlic, and a bit of sweetener. I'd have preferred rice syrup, but didn't have
any, so I used honey. I'd been trying to duplicate the dressing I've had at Sunflower, a veg
restaurant in Vienna, VA, outside Washington, DC, and I think I did, but I had to add garlic, since
I hadn't put any in the other dishes!
I made the first two salads and let them marinate for about 3 hours, and threw together the third
(well, I opened the bag and dumped it in a bowl) at dinnertime.
