Hummus Vinaigrette

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

My love for home made hummus is great. Great enough to consider using it as the base for a salad dressing. And it made one creamy, beautiful vinaigrette for my quinoa veggie salad!

Bulgur Asparagus Salad with Walnuts

Die DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Inspired by a non-vegan (and generally different) version of this recipe (which I found through buzzfeed! :)), I decided to make a vegan version for a birthday party that we'll attend this weekend. Asparagus season just kicked in, so what better thing to make than an asparagus salad?

Ingredients:

• 750-1000g green asparagus
• 300g Bulgur (600ml water)
• 150g Cashew Feta
• 100g walnuts
• 3-4 medium sized carrots
• A hand full of fresh parsley
• 80ml olive oil
• 4 tablespoons mustard
• 3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• some freshly ground pepper 

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is a family favorite. I would usually use arugula instead of the basil, but it's not in season right now, so it's super expensive. The fresh, organic basil was a special offer today! Hooray!

Ingredients: 

• 2 large zucchinis
• 300g of Hello Kitty pasta (the salad gets exponentionally better with Hello Kitty pasta, but regular pasta works, too)
• one glass of dried tomatoes (225g drain weight)
• 5 fresh tomatoes
• lots of fresh basil (I used as much as you can see on the picture - the whole thing!)
• 3 tablespoons vegan honey (agave sirup works, too)
• 60g (7-8 tablespoons) olive oil
• some extra olive oil for frying
• 60g (7-8 tablespoons) balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons mustard
• salt
• pepper
