Fresh Noodle Salad with Avocado Dijon Dressing from The Blissful Chef

I love zucchini noodles so I'm always looking for new ways to dress and eat them. The avocado gave this salad dressing a lovely creaminess. I may cut down a touch on the dijon next time around. I had... read more >

	Aztec Salad From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 27th February 2010) I was attracted to this recipe by the combination of black beans, sweet peppers, cilantro and corn but I think the dressing let it down somewhat. I found the vinegar overpowering. I would make this again but with a radically altered dressing.
	Broccoli with Mustard Vinaigrette From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 10th June 2011) I was looking for a way to jazz up my steamed broccoli and came across this simple recipe. I found it a little too vinegary but my husband liked it.
	Italian Green Beans From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 18th December 2011) This is a yummy way to dress up green beans, bathed in a tomato, garlic sauce with a hint of basil.
	Oatmeal Cookies From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 9th June 2011) Mmmmmm, I have not been able to stop eating these cookies since I made them last night! They are dark, slightly chewy and delicious. There is a 1/4 cup of molasses in these and the taste is noticeable but I love them. My daughter is not such a fan of that flavour but her loss is my gain.
	Pasta Primavera From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 18th December 2011) I was slightly disappointed in the sauce. While it has a nice creamy texture, the flavour was definitely lacking something. I may make this again and fiddle with the seasonings.
	Pasta Salad From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 26th February 2010) This was a very tasty pasta salad but I found the dressing a little too acidic for my taste. There is no oil in the recipe which I found a little strange. I added black beans to make this dish a little heartier and more suitable for a main dish.
	Pasta with Peanut Sauce From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 1st March 2010) This was a very basic peanut sauce that definitely lacked some zest and zip. I think the spice quotient needs to be bumped up and next time I will also add some lime juice.
	Simple Golden Broth From: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 27th February 2010) This simple soup made with yellow split peas is extremely easy to make and delicious.
