Wow. My days of salad are starting to blend together. My “100 Days” will be far more than 100 by the time I get to the number 100 in the blog entries. This is mostly a function of salad redundance. My goal is to inspire, not bore.
So for this salad, the two exciting elements were the [...]

22. Emerald City Salad
By Anne in Grain, Lunch/Snack Salad, Main Course Salad, Vegan, VegetarianI usually think of chard and kale as veggies to eat cooked, but Emerald City Salad has a special something, and I think it’s the rugged texture that the uncooked veggies have. Seattle’s largest coop, Puget Consumer Coop, has an awesome deli, and Emerald City Salad is a standard you can usually find at one of [...]

16. Stuffed Apple Salad with Pistachios and Oranges

They were so great with the crunchy cold veggies! The tart lemon and [...]

10. Meatball Salad
By Anne in Lunch/Snack Salad, Main Course Salad, Uses LeftoversAttractive, it is not. However, the comfort-food-meets-good-health appeal is irresistible. The red wine vinegar and oregano harmonize with the browned bits of the meatballs. The tomatoes add necessary tangy juiciness. Even though I wouldn’t take another picture of this one, I will definitely eat it again, exactly like this, in perfect simplicity.
