I LOVE adding new ingredients to a salad! Tonight, I decided to add kiwi, fried portobello mushrooms, chayote, grape tomatoes, radishes to field greens. For crunch, walnuts. For creaminess: goat cheese. Annie's shitake sesame vinaigrette gave this salad a flavor burst!!!

I'm exhausted after 2 days of a She Blogs Conference in Miami Beach #shecon and I was only attending! People, salads take much longer to prep & chop than my veggie stir fries! My hubby LOVES my salads so I always try to make them interesting with lots of textures, colors and flavors. This salad was San Marino mix, red bell, cue, grape tomatoes, walnuts, penne, scallions, sweet corn (cause they're so abundant) and one of my hubby's favorite. I bought a roast chicken, splurged some Lingham's chili sauce and to give it a twist, had a few chunks of chicken sausage. Looking up how to make apple crumble for dessert, a special weekend treat!

I really love a good challenge of making a dish with what's in the fridge! There was the last bit of lamb, leftover broccoli, penne, but no color. No veggies anywhere, but I found a mango, yay. Added cashews for some crunch. Topped with my balsamic dressing and a side of kimchi. Lovely.

Canned tomatoes, myspicesage good curry powder made for an easy, quick sauce for the toufu cubes! Added a few chopped sugar snap & chopped scallions, placed on bed of soba. Lunch always includes fresh made salad & balsamic dressing. Satisfying.

Amazing how you can pull out a great lunch from leftovers! Poached salmon in soup, then added black quinoa & curried celery & carrots. Beets (Dr.Oz says so) & lettuce salad.

Love explanations of why this lamb is chewy from twitter buddies: left leg is more tender than right leg cause they get up with right & scratch with left!? I have to remember to ask next time, ha, ha.

Too bad, the salad was magnificent: mango, pineapple, snow peas, cue, tomatoes, scallions, carrots, black quinoa. Dressing is what brings your salad to life: balsamic & rice vinegar, tamari, French mustard, olive oil AND Yuzu Pao chili sauce! This salad took TWICE as long as if I had just stir fried baby bok choy with bell peppers! It was my initial idea but dying to try mango.
