Salad Samurai (Cookbook Review, Recipes & Giveaway) #VeganCookbookLove


Cauliflower Potato Salad with Basil Pesto Dressing from Salad Samurai by Terry Hope Romero. Can replace some of the #cauliflower with pasta too! A healthy main meal salad for the new year! #vegan

It's the second week of Veganuary! How are your New Year's resolutions or goals going? If adding more healthy meals to your repertoire is a focus, then have I got another great cookbook for you! Last week I shared a look at the first vegan cookbook I ever bought - How It All Vegan  (still one of my favourites). This week I am sharing recipes from the incredible Salad Samurai: 100 Cutting-Edge, Ultra-Hearty, Easy-to-Make Salads You Don't Have to Be Vegan to Love, a vegan cookbook devoted entirely to - you guessed it - salads.

I'm the first to tell you that it irritates me when restaurants offer salad as the only vegan option. How exceedingly dull. But if they offered salads like the ones in Salad Samurai everything would be golden. This book has a wealth of meal-worthy, scrumptious and healthy salads.

What I Ate Wednesday

Lentils and Rice from Woman in Real Life; one of my fave recipes of all time! #vegan

Happy Wednesday on this important day for Canada, as we swear in our new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, and his cabinet ministers, 15 of whom are women (16 men). Clearly he's not just good looking, he's smart too. My only complaint is the Canada Goose coat he wore on Halloween. Is fur a thing again? I hope not. Do people know these coats have coyote fur collars? Here's an article about the true cost of these fur-collar coats.

On to What I Ate Wednesday. My son requested lentils and rice for dinner one day and I was happy to comply, as it is one of my fave recipes of all time. I also smashed some potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, salt and fresh parsley. This pic, above, is my next-day lunch leftovers. I made eight potatoes but this is all that was left. The kids said they prefer mashed potatoes over smashed but that didn't stop them from eating the potatoes up!
