Kale, Pomegranate, Feta & Quinoa Holiday Salad!

thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

While the appeal of Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays for many may gravitate around the bird and/or sides (stuffing standing out as the real MVP!) I can’t help but turn my attention to warm and hearty salads that truly feel like a meal- yet compliment your festive spread ever so perfectly! Picture leafy kale, tart pomegranate arils, creamy goat feta or Manchego cheese, sweet pear chunks or slices, deliciously crunchy caramelized pecans, and a hearty base of your favorite grain topped with a killer mushroom garnish. Super satisfying, quick, effortless- and it gives you ALL the holiday feels!

Best Lentil Soup Recipe

Let’s talk about this lentil soup, shall we? Five words: NOT your average lentil soup.

It feeds a crowd, costs close to nothing, is pretty effortless to whip up AND doesn’t taste like your standard vegetarian or vegan fare. I always jokingly said that if I was to become a full-on vegetarian; I would absolutely cook a lot of Mediterranean and Indian-inspired dishes. Why? because they’re rich, vegetable-loaded, and you don’t feel deprived at all. This little recipe checks ALL those boxes and then some. I am beyond confident it will quickly become a part of your weekly dinner rotation!

Greek Salad Hummus

This hummus is a little extra because I decided to Greek it up, AKA decorate it too look pretty and make it even more dip-able. Is that a word? It should be. Because the noun is a very real thing. The best appetizers are dip-able. Or, dippable? Anywho- you get exactly what I’m trying to say. Try this, you’ll get exactly why I’m obsessed with this bowl of hummus topped with feta, black olives, organic cucumbers, cherry tomatoes & a drizzle of sumac and olive oil.

Cashew Rosé Ratatouille Pasta

This colorful and heathy spin on a classic Ratatouille casserole is both; hearty and deliciously light. I added garden zucchini, bell peppers in every color, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplants and onions. The vegetables are slow roasted and then stewed in a creamy, dreamy rosé sauce made from none other than cashews that have been pre-soaked. I love the rich dairy-like feel, without any of the heavy cream that typically goes into this sauce.

Tabbouleh Panzanella Salad

If you are a fan of classic Mediterranean Tabbouleh, you’re doing to L-O-V-E this Panzanella version! Have you even heard about a Panzanella salad? It originated in Tuscany, Italy (of all pretty places) and it consists of bread, tomatoes, cucumber and other seasonal vegetables. I am convinced the salad originated as a way to effectively use leftover, stale bread instead of throwing it away.  You use good quality extra virgin olive oil and vinegar (or lemon) and I personally like it when the bread is soaked in the vinaigrette; much like croutons would in traditional salad.

Creamy, Healthy Penne A La Vodka

Here’s my ode to a la Vodka pasta sauce, with my very own rich sauce that’s entirely dairy-free. FYI-traditional a la Vodka sauce is essentially: tomato puree or marinara, heavy cream, butter, parmesan, and vodka all combined to create the dreamiest, tastiest sauce. I use tomato puree or a good quality marinara to mix into mine. In fact, the blog now has its own homemade marinara sauce recipe, in case you want to try the ultimate treat!
