Dalkey Salads

27 July 2011 @ 10:46 am |

Summer is salad season — the time for lighter meals that don’t require much cooking but do stir up plenty of pleasure once they hit the table. I love to have fun while creating a good summer salad. That means experimenting with all kinds of wonderful veggies, cooked and raw. I recently had guests for brunch. I served quiche and a vegetable salad made from grilled courgette, yellow squash, red peppers and red onions. I added chopped fresh parsley, tossed it with a simple vinaigrette and served it over a bed of dark leafy greens. Delicious!

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a high-protein, gluten-free ancient grain that cooks much like rice and has a texture similar to couscous. Combined with lemon, onions, wine, cashews and sundried tomatoes, you’ll enjoy a carnival of flavors and textures. For a delicious vegan entrée, add so…me baked tofu chunks.

Ingredients
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
1 cup finely chopped red onion

Food cravings and weight gain are the biggest reasons ex-smokers relapse. Your body cleanses and purges impurities after you quit smoking, and your senses of smell and taste return.

Today Nutritionist Olive McCabe along with ex-smoker Rosie Carroll talk about how you can fight the food cravings, lose weight and kick the habit for good.
