Salmon Avocado Salad
This was a great inspiration recipe for me and I have to admit I made several changes. I eat salmon at least 3 times a week, and usually bake or grill it. I never use oil with it, as it is an oily fish to begin with. This time I decided to poach the fish using 1/2 c water, 1/2 wine, some sliced onion & tarragon. Only took 5 minutes and poaching leaves NO fishy odor in the house. I made my salad bed with romaine lettuce and added fresh mushrooms (why saute them?), avocado, and grape tomatoes. (Had no feta or would have it it too)To save time, I used a little of Paul Newman's Lite Honey Mustard Dressing. Wow! What a fantastic salad. Next time I think I'll add some red pepper and a handful of blueberries.

Quinoa Tabbouleh
I'm a new fan of quinoa and have been experimenting with it every time I find a new recipe. I found this to be a bit bland, so I added 3 T curry, 1 t. cumin and 1/2 t. cinnamon. Also, I prefer onions cooked, so I browned them with some garlic, then proceeded with the rest of this recipe.

Cranberry and Cilantro Quinoa Salad
Love the list of ingredients (minus cilantro). I kicked this up a bit by increasing curry to 3 t. Added 1 t cinnamon and 1 t cumin. Since I planned on having this as my lunch vs a side dish, I added a can of rinsed and drained black beans. Not only was this a delicious meal, it was so colorful as well.
