The lentils in this salad are cooked to just doneness, and hold up well when mixed with onion, tomato and cucumber and the salty tang of crumbled feta cheese.
Replacing mayonnaise or buttermilk with oil and lemon juice makes for a much lighter, almost pickled mixture, and the taste of fresh mint lifts the entire dish.
Here’s a bright and refreshing change from coleslaw or carrot salad, mixing the snap of jicama, carrots and red pepper to thin shreds of napa cabbage for a low-fat, low-sodium side dish.
A classic salad made simple. In this version the standard, very salty feta cheese has been replaced with far healthier garbanzo beans for a lighter taste.
The mild flavor of cashews and their ability to blend to a cream make this sauce versatile and one that can be used as a white sauce or gravy.
The cucumbers in this recipe are "almost pickled" after a 20-minute soak in two kinds of vinegar--bringing them to a softened and slightly tart state, without cooking or an unbearably long wait.
