A blog dedicated to testing the recipes from "1000 Vegan Recipes" by Robin Robertson, but with a twist. My personal challenge is to make the recipes with no added oil, and using only whole grains.

Mango & Snow Pea Salad
It's really the peanut dressing that makes the "Mango and Snow Pea Salad" (page 58) a standout creation. Definitely a bit on the high-fat side from the peanut butter, and the chopped peanut topping, but a little really does a long way so no need to over dress. The salad consists of romaine lettuce, snow peas, mangos, carrots, and cucumber, with each vegetable adding a range of texture, color, and flavor. This is a very flavorful salad that can also be transformed into a main dish meal with the addition of cooked noodles. The recipe was within McDougall guidelines as written, so no changes were necessary.

This looks really good! ^^ Very simple too.
