Sexy Summer Salad
See… something named after you at last! 😛 😀
Ahhh… Summer! 😀 The longest day of the year has been and gone which means nights are drawing in already! WHAT… noooo!!! Well, the sun may have hidden behind the clouds today this week but that doesn’t mean we can’t have salad! Especially salad as good as this one! 😀 This sexy summer salad combines delicious quinoa with sizzled peppered mushrooms, succulent sweetcorn, fresh peas and sesame-maple sweet potato… top it with my tahini coconut yogurt dressing and some crunchy toasted seeds and you’ll definitely be back for seconds… and thirds! Oh yes! 🙂
Why not try this delicious salad?!
Is it easy?… well it takes a bit of time to make all the components but then you can throw it all together! 😀 This makes an excellent main meal, a base for something like spiced chickpeas, a great accompaniment to some tofu or an addition to a summer buffet with more summer salads. Win-win! Pack it in a lunchbox, take it on picnic, put it on the barbecue table or just have it for lunch! 😀
Serve this salad as part of a picnic… we had it on the beach!
The lovely Deborah over at Urban Naturale is hosting her weekly Plant Based Potluck Party again this week (hope you had a great holiday Deborah) so this sexy summer salad is winging its way over there! Come on over and join us! 😀 Oh and my delicious coconut desert from the other week has made it into this weeks features! 😀 😀 😀

Thank you…it most certainly is (was)! 😛 What’s your favourite summer salad?
I like hearty salads with pasta and dressings and cheese ?
Ooo.. I’ve not posted a pasta salad on here! I’ll have a play! 🙂 Thank you!
This looks so delicious! The picnic also looks like a dream!
Thanks Bria… very delicious! Lovely to see you over here at Life Diet Health ☺ Picnic was great too- so many yummy things ?
Oh yum! I love using coconut oil for *everything*! And I love a cold salad on a hot summer day. My husband’s not so keen on quinoa, can you suggest any substitution that would work well? Thanks for the great recipe!
Hello Alice and thanks for visiting Life Diet Health! 🙂 We have made this with bulghur wheat, millet and corn couscous, so I know all of these work well. Alternatively you could just use rice (I’d suggest brown rice for a firmer bite). Let me know how you get on! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
