Indian Puffed Rice Salad
The first time I tasted Bhel Puri salad was in an Indian restaurant in San Jose California many years ago. Someone at our table had ordered it as an appetizer.

Quick and Easy Vegan Tuna Salad
Every now and then, I feel like having a tuna salad or a tuna melt. But how could I make a tuna melt without tuna? Very easily, actually.

Several of my favorites, Russian Red and Scotch curly kale are great for salads. Dinosaur kale works great steamed […]
