Mexican Green Salad with Jalapeño-Cilantro Dressing

Gluten free and easily vegan

“This Mexican salad is absolutely delicious! The dressing is to die for. Even my 26 year old son who is not a big salad eater really enjoyed it and even took some home with him. He especially liked the dressing. I added two cups of cooked quinoa to make it a little more filling as well as some fresh corn I needed to use up. I have been eating it all week for lunch and it is just perfect. I used a rather large jalapeno but removed the seeds etc and the dressing is not too spicy but has a little kick to it.” – Annika

Blood Orange, Fennel and Avocado Salad with Lemon Citronette

A stray blood orange was living in the drawer below, and I needed to use up some salad greens. This was wonderful, and hubby especially loved it. We served it with some wonderful grilled chicken. I’m thrilled to now welcome fennel to my repertoire. Looking forward to your cookbook!” – Debra

Potatoes

healthy potato wedges recipe

Ultra Crispy Baked Potato Wedges

Gluten free and vegan

“Kate! These crispy baked potato wedges are the new food love of my life! Seriously! They are better than any deep fried french fries or oven baked fries I’ve ever had. Soaking the potatoes in hot water is the secret of all secrets in achieving the perfect crispiness on the outside while keeping the insides soft…exactly what everyone wants in a french fry. I used avocado oil, which has a high smoking point and they were to die for! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes. Love your blog :)” – Suzette

Based on our taste preferences, I eliminated the hummus and planned on using smashed avocado instead but forgot and just went with the lettuce, soba, and pickled veggies and it turned out fantastic!” – Erin

    Cabbage has a pretty unique taste – kind of crunchy and mildly sweet with a little bit of bitterness. it’s really versatile and goes well with all kinds of seasonings and spices. I will wait for your next content. As the content was really helpful so learned a lot from the content. Thank you very much for this kind of informative content.
