I especially enjoy creating my own salads and salad dressings without need for recipes. I have a great garden with lots of greens and fresh herbs so I usually have a variety of pestos I've made that can be used in dressing, plus I also have homemade herb vinegars (tarragon, lavender, cranberry etc.) and my cheese drawer and the nut section of my cupboard is filled with lots of different choices - mix and match to the menu. A horrible attempt at a Broccolli Tofu Peanut casserole that kept me and my husband away from Tofu for many years. I've recently returned to trying to find tasty ways to prepare tofu :-)
