Salad Recipes (Most Popular)
My easy to make version of light ranch is easy and lower in calories than the traditional light ranch recipe, because it uses fat free sour cream rather than just light mayo. It tastes tons better than store bought light ranch, as good as the real thing in my opinion but with a 1/3 less calories.
Tastes similar to Banh Mi chicken sandwich, without the bread. Great on rice crackers if you are gluten free. Or eat in a lettuce roll if you are low carb. Also great on the side of a lettuce salad with sesame asian dressing.
Great tasting, excellent for lunches and/or served on a bed of mixed greens.
Top a green a salad or a pile of lettuce with this for a filling protein packed meal without guilt.
We were headed out for a picnic and needed to take something that was portable and vegetarian. I made this up to out taste and what was available in my fridge. Red pepper, green onion, sundried tomatoes, olives, chickpeas, whatever all would have worked as well. I based the dressing on the fact that it is mostly Mexican inspired. If yours isn't then adjust your dressing to suit, or use your favourite. You just need a very strong flavour for the dressing as the quinoa really soaks it up.
