This zesty carrot, broccoli and bean shoot salad fits the piggy bill, with a well coated mix of carrots, broccoli, cucumber and bean shoots that creates a crunchy tangy taste sensation that is perfect for those Summer barbecues we all look back on fondly once the warm weather has long gone and the Winter chill sets in.

Mika’s Vegan Seaweed and Cucumber Salad

Posted Tue, 02/08/2011 - 18:35 by theblendergirl

I post this simple little Japanese seaweed salad in honor of my friend Mika. Mika is a phenomenal cook, with a natural flare for flavors. Of all the incredible dishes she has shared with me over the years, this one will always be my favorite. Seaweed and cucumber salads are always bursting with flavor, but they are often made with sauces that contain a lot of sugar.

I love simple, raw, shredded salads, and this would be amongst my favourites.

Creamy Potato Salad Recipe

I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous–“Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper. You need to put this on your site!” At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning friends.

Colourful Raw Green Superslaw

Posted Fri, 12/03/2010 - 23:24 by theblendergirl

This is my favorite Summer salad. It is fresh, raw, simple, quick, easy, nutritious, satisfying, refreshing and absolutely delicious! This simple slaw is a good balance of vegetables for me. But you could really add anything you wanted. Spinach and rocket work well. I just love the nutritional density and texture of kale.

Raw Broccoli Salad

Posted Fri, 12/03/2010 - 23:09 by theblendergirl

I share this recipe as a delicious way to serve up raw broccoli. I have used sunflower seeds and raw almonds. But you could use any nuts you like. For the dressing I have listed the quantities that I like. But you might like it with a bit more of a kick, and want to add in a bit more vinegar, lemon juice and sweetener. But this blend struck a nice tangy balance for me.

Raw Zesty Lime Corn Salad

This raw vegan corn salad is super easy and absolutely scrumptious. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of corn. Well the vegetable variety anyway. I don’t cook with it very often as I can think of so many other more nutritious vegetables I prefer to work with.

Creamy Garlic Dressing

This is a creamy, thick and hearty dressing perfect on a tossed salad with fresh greens, tomato and cucumber. The garlic really adds a spicy punch to this one.

Heirloom Tomato Salad

Posted Sun, 09/13/2009 - 12:23 by kandace

This is an easy recipe created out of an abundance of mint, basil, and tomatoes in our garden each late summer. I love how gorgeous thickly sliced heirlooms look on a plate. We often pair this with Ray's grilled pizza and a bottle of wine. Perfect, simple dinner with friends on a lovely Portland evening.

Zesty Macaroni salad

This is a family favorite. I wanted to find a way to use less mayonnaise. Adding pickle juice and red wine vinegar did that.
