Quinoa Salad with Apple, Chickpeas, Toasted Almonds & Apple Cider Vinaigrette Recipe

Oct 1, 2012

I’m going to pretend that anytime I make Meatless Monday recipes it is done with purely charitable intentions. Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly support the idea behind Meatless Monday…cutting out the meat once per week to improve both our health and the health of the planet.

You will not find a Mexican feast gracing my table on Christmas or a tableful of spring rolls and stir-fries at Thanksgiving. Growing up, holiday meals were an event.

I first became enraptured with this combination when I made Sage & Gorgonzola Gougères (Cheese Puffs) a couple of weeks ago.

“Bon Appetit!” Meryl Streep’s throaty voice rings through the theatre and each audience member feels as though the immortal Julia Child is speaking directly to him or her.
