Healthy Salads and Salad Dressings

Salads and salad dressings.

	Beet Salad with Basil & Olive Oil Like any good marriage, beets couple with basil beautifully with both partners maintaining their own strength of character while complementing the flavor profile of the other. I love the way the anise-like undertones of sweet basil lift the earthiness of fresh beets, transforming what could be an intense and robust dish into something decidedly lighter and fresher.
	Tomato & Cucumber Salad This classic tomato and cucumber salad sparkles with olive oil and lemon juice. Pair it with Moroccan roast chicken or labneh.
	Spiced Kombucha Vinaigrette Consider serving kombucha vinaigrette, with its sweet and sour flavors enhanced by a touch of clove and allspice over fresh, richly flavored greens; alternatively, it pairs well with nuts, steamed beets, apples and pears.
	Pesto Egg Salad A great way to make use of leftover Easter eggs, this pesto egg salad recipe combines vibrant fresh herbs with other more traditional additions for a flavorful egg salad.
	Cold Quinoa Salad with Chicken, Pine Nuts and Feta A nutrient-dense, filling winter salad, quinoa combines with faintly bitter radicchio, chicken and salty feta cheese.
	Wilted Spinach Salad Fresh spinach and chicken combine with the smokiness of bacon and sweetness of apples for a satisfying winter salad.
	Cucumber and Daikon Radish Salad with Hijiki A great accompaniment to misoyaki salmon, this salad is refreshing and teeming with wholesome, clean flavors and nutrient dense additions like hijiki – a sea vegetable.
	Mixed Potato Salad with Sundried Tomatoes and Mizuna This is an easy-to-assemble potato salad that’s a far cry from the yellow glump sold in stores. It takes advantage of multiple varieties of potatoes (I used Yukon Gold, Purple Majesty and variety of Fingerling Potatoes), the Asian green mizuna as well as sundried tomatoes and New Mexico chilies (FKA Anaheim Chilies).
	Simple Slaw with Flaxseed Oil, Honey and Chilies Simple ingredients make for a powerfully flavorful cabbage slaw – seasoned with flaxseed oil, honey and chilies.
	Filk Mjolk Ranch Dressing Herbs combine with the classic Scandinavian Fil Mjolk yogurt for a homemade alternative to store-bought ranch dressing.
	Asian-style Vinaigrette Tamari, fish sauce, ginger and brown rice vinegar combine to make a flavorful Asian-style vinaigrette.
	Simple Salad The simplest salad you can prepare and one that makes it to our supper table nearly every evening.
