Quinoa Mango Yogurt Salad
Quinoa, Mango and Curried Yogurt Salad
Adapted from Gourmet Magazine
At first this dish may seem like an odd combination. I came across the recipe on Epicurious when I was try to find some more innovative dishes using quinoa. And, this one definitely caught my eye. It’s wonderfully refreshing. It’s also great because you can serve it warm, cold, or at room temperature and the leftovers are great. Sometimes I even make it a day ahead of time to let the flavors meld.
I’m not sure that I’ve ever actually used mint, since I don’t often have mint on hand. Basil works very well. The original recipe also called for a chopped jalapeno, which I have also never used. You could add it in, or also add in a pinch of cayenne pepper. The peanuts really do add a nice salty, roasted crunch to the dish. I think this salad would also be great placed in Napa cabbage leaves, or butter lettuce leaves, and wrapped up. Or, serve it on a bed of lettuce.

The past couple of weeks we have purchased Straus 2% Cream Top Milk. Straus bottles their milk and cream in glass bottles, which are then reused, this way there is even less recycling energy needed. Just return the bottle to where you purchased it and you will receive your refund.

Lemon Cucumber Salad with Yogurt and Mint
Adapted from The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters
This is a refreshing summer salad, easy to make and with few ingredients. It also holds up relatively well in the refrigerator if you have some leftovers or want to pack it for a workday lunch. You can use any cucumbers you have on hand. I happened to find these beautiful cucumbers at the Farmers’ Market.

Once you make these a few times you will see that these are a breeze to get together and just as quick to bake. Perfect for any meal or a snack, and they can be made on a whim. This is where keeping plain yogurt as a staple comes in handy.
