This dish is healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare. Pesto flavors the quinoa to pair perfectly with the roasted sweetness of the red peppers. If desired, garnish with a few extra pistachios for a little crunch.
Feta can add a lot of salty flavor, making it a great ingredient to include in a salad dressing. If you prefer little chunks of feta in your dressing, you can whisk together the dressing instead of pureeing it.
If steak isn’t your thing, try substituting shrimp or extra-firm tofu. Or just use extra veggies and noodles. Remember that when assembling the rolls, arranging the ingredients in neat parallel lines gives the best visual effect when you cut them in half to serve.
Cold soup, savory smoothie—gazpacho originated in Spanish cooking and makes a lovely light side on a hot day. Watermelon brings a sweet, seasonal twist to the dish in mid-summer.
Enjoy this smoothie for breakfast or to cool down on a hot summers afternoon. If you have frozen fruit, you can use it frozen and leave out the ice, which can be easier if your blender is lower in power.
Show off your patriotism with this delicious blend of fruits! Banana, skim milk, and vanilla yogurt are a good base for playing with any type of fruit that’s fresh in your area. For homemade yogurt popsicles, freeze the smoothie mixture in popsicle molds and enjoy a sweet, responsible cool down!
