This Curry Tempeh Salad is adapted from a recipe one of my girl friend’s makes when we get together. I have fond memories of her popping open a tupperware brimming with this spicy, sweet mixture, and everyone gathering around the kitchen island to dip, dunk and scoop it onto crackers, bread, and lettuce boats. I…

Harmony Salad with Miso-Lime Dressing
This Harmony Salad with Miso-Lime Dressing is bursting with summer – a season worth savoring. I’m currently digging the John Mayer song Wildfire which includes the line “‘Cause a little summer’s what the whole year’s all about.” Such truth. Sometimes I feel like I live for summer – 3(ish) steamy months when everything feels a little lighter,…
Steve Jobs Salad
Albert Einstein had his gray suit. Mark Zuckerberg has his gray t-shirt. Obama only wears gray or navy suits. Steve Jobs had his black turtleneck and jeans. Google any one of these guys – they (almost) always wear (or wore) the exact same thing. It’s not a coincidence. They’ve all made the choice not to…
Creamy Cashew-Cayenne Dressing
As fall weather sets in, the pull toward a heaping bowl of raw greens begins to fade. Fresh salads just don’t have the same appeal once you’ve traded your sundresses for sweaters. Enter this salad dressing: Creamy Cashew-Cayenne Dressing. The creamy texture gives a sense of heartiness and the hint of cayenne warms you. The…
Herb Grilled Watermelon Salad
On Wednesday I hosted the first seasonal Plant-based Supper Club. It was a magical summer evening on the rooftop deck. Some of the coolest people I know gathered together to share good conversation, cocktails, and plant-based grub. Such fun! T H E M E N U Appetizer PB&J with a twist Sunflower seed romesco, caramelized…
Easy Avocado Chickpea Salad
If you subscribe to our bi-monthly email, you know we just got back from a week away (if you don’t, sign up at the bottom of this post). Translation: we started the week with an empty fridge and no meal plan. Chickpea Salad (a vegan play on chicken salad) is the perfect make-ahead lunch. It’s…
Spring Man Salad
Happy spring! We’ve had spring showers the last few weekends in St. Louis, and the weather has been reminding us of a certain spring 2014 weekend. Last May, we gathered our favorite people and jammed them into a little gazebo for a wedding in the rain. Let me tell you – it was the happiest thunderstorm we’ve…
Vegan Nacho Salad
Vegan nachos are our thing. Everybody has that “thing” they scan restaurant menus for, that “thing” they consider themselves a connoisseur of, that “thing” that is their go-to. For us, that thing is vegan nachos. If you have vegan nachos on the menu, you have our hearts. Our favorite vegan nachos are from Karyn’s Cooked…
Man Salad Blueprint
I walk into the lunchroom at the office around 11:30. I’m quite excited about what I’m about to eat – a big, huge, manly salad. Before I can begin, I’m met with a barrage of questions and jabs. “What’s in there?” “Did you harvest your lunch from the front yard today?” “Do you just get…
Creamy Maple Mustard Dressing
New Year’s resolutions aren’t really my thing. They always seem like a good idea – each year I have good habits I want to cultivate and bad ones to leave in the past – but they always seem to turn into just another to-do list. The last thing this family needs is another one of…
