This is one my husband's favorite salads and like most salads, doesn't really require a recipe. Take prepared bulgur and mix in chopped, grilled veggies (I used fennel, bell pepper and red onion) and a handful of chopped parsley, pile it over spinach leaves and drizzle with dressing. Any dressing you like will do. I usually go for an orange and cumin vinaigrette but came across this wonderful sounding tamarind-mint dressing from Bobby Flay and had to give it a try. Great combination! You'll find my variation below along with a few other delicious-looking tamarind recipes that are on my must-try list.

I've run out of time to cook and blog this week so that's all for now. I'll be back some time next week with a new meal plan. In the meantime, I'm off on a getaway with my husband to celebrate our 12th year wedding anniversary. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Yum! I bought some blood oranges today and wondered if I could incorporate them into a recipe (though they are SO so good on their own). The dressing sounds awesome. I think I'll try it! Thanks!

VeggieGirl, thank you for the good wishes! Monica, blood oranges really are fantastic, aren't they? And I agree with you that they are so good on their own. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Cassie, I hope you have a wonderful time away! I hope you tell us a little about where you went, when you return. Our family was lucky to travel to Panama and Costa Rica 2 weeks ago - it was amazing. My kids enjoyed tasting the tropical fruits there :-) xo m

Thanks, Michelle! Our trip wasn't as exotic as yours - just a little getaway off the beaten path and not too far from home. Sounds like the kids had a great time down there, and I'm sure you did as well!
