This Napa Cabbage Salad is fresh, crunchy, a little sweet and spicy, and packed with nutty, garlicky, sesame-soy goodness. Delicious proof that salads don’t have to be sad and bland! Crisp napa cabbage, juicy cucumbers, and crunchy peanuts are paired with a sizzling sesame-garlic dressing that’s so good you’ll want to drizzle it on everything. Add...

While homemade hummus is a staple in my kitchen, my actual favorite dip of all time is muhammara. Originating in Syria and popular throughout the Levantine, muhammara is a sweet-smoky-tangy dip. It’s made from roasted red bell peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, bread crumbs, olive oil, and Aleppo pepper. And it’s SO good. Plus, it’s made with...

I recently had a fennel orange salad at a restaurant, and while I was delighted to see it on the menu, it ended up kind of meh. It was just fennel, a scant orange slice or two, and some olive oil and vinegar. I love fennel salads and citrus in salads, so I knew I...

I’ll be the first to admit that a white bean soup might not sound that exciting, but I promise you that this super savory, hearty white bean soup is no ordinary bean soup. A mixture of dried white beans, fresh herbs, and miso elevates this soup, while garlic (braised inside the soup!) and extra virgin...

Around the holidays, I know everyone’s into mashed potatoes, but if I’m being honest, I would take crispy roasted potatoes over mashed potatoes any day.  These roasted potatoes have the best of both worlds: a thick, crunchy coating with a creamy, buttery interior that melts in your mouth. They’re optionally brushed with fresh rosemary oil... The post Ultimate Crispy Roasted Potatoes appeared first on Rainbow Plant Life ..read more

A plant-based spin on the classic, this Creamy Vegan Potato Leek Soup marries buttery leeks and tender potatoes with creamy cannellini beans, lemony herb oil, and greens for a complete meal.  While the classic French version features butter and cream, I promise you won’t miss the dairy here (no gluten, nuts, or soy either!). Thanks... The post Creamy Vegan Potato Leek Soup appeared first on Rainbow Plant Life ..read more
