I first tasted this recipe for Dairy-Free Taco Salad at a party thrown for my daughter,  a few days before her wedding. I had to get the recipe and I’ve been making  it ever since.

Ingredients

1 can of corn, drained well

1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained well

small red onion, finely chopped

2/3 cup salsa (add more if desired)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tomato, chopped with excess juice removed

1/4 cup taco sauce (good but optional)

1 bag chopped lettuce

6 large handfuls tortilla chips, crumbled

1 avocado,  chopped

salt, to taste

Directions

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Serve within 5 minutes.

Note: Because of the lettuce, chips and avocado, this salad starts to lose texture almost immediately. Therefore, it’s important not to make more than will be eaten at the present meal. Halve the recipe if necessary.

Dairy Version: Skip the mayonnaise and add 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 shredded cheese instead.

Makes 12 salad size servings or 6 main dish servings.

The last time I made a dish for a family occasion, my sister-in-law gave me  a recipe for this Chinese Noodle Salad.  I took her basic recipe and played with it a little….I added more sesame seeds and a can of baby corn. This delicious dish is what resulted. Chinese Noodle Salad feeds a crowd, so you will have plenty of leftovers.

Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti

1/2  cup sesame oil

1/2 cup soy sauce

6-8 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 cup frozen peas, defrosted

1 green pepper, sliced into strips

1 red pepper, sliced into strips

1 can baby corn, drained and halved

1-2 teaspoons sugar or to taste

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Cook the spaghetti till still firm. Drain immediately.  Run cold water over the spaghetti and drain again.

Combine the spaghetti with the other ingredients.

Chill several hours before serving.

 Due to an abundance of peppers last week, and not enough spinach,  I skipped my usual quiche recipe and tried something new. The result was a big success!

Ingredients

2 frozen unbaked pie shells

1 mild red pepper, diced

1 yellow pepper, diced

1 onion, diced

2 – 3 large handfuls frozen broccoli

6 eggs

1 1/4 cups milk

1 cup cheese

olive oil

salt and pepper

Directions

Prebake both pie shells according to package directions. 

Microwave broccoli for five minutes. Drain.

Saute onions in olive oil till lightly brown. Add peppers and saute till they begin to wilt. Allow to cool slightly.

Place broccoli in a large mixed bowl and lightly chop. Add eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir. Add cooled vegetables. Stir well.

Pour quiche filling into shells and bake at 350 degrees till lightly browned and firm. Serve warm.

Makes 2 quiches.
