Sandwiches on Rye and Three Bean Salad

Written by Cassie Young

Thursday, April 19 2007

I made a vegan cashew-tofu spread to go with our sandwiches last night but ended up skipping the spread. I thought it was awful so I won't even post the recipe. We spread a little bit of tahini on our bread and stuffed our sandwiches with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion and pickled peppers. Simple and tasty! We also had a Three Bean Salad that I made in the morning and I added strawberry soy yogurt to my meal.

Three Bean Salad

Salad:

1 1/2 cups shelled edamame

1 1/2 cups each green and yellow beans

1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

1 tomato, cut into chunks

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Vinaigrette:

2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil

1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (use more if you like it tart)

about a 1/2 teaspoon of regular or Dijon mustard

splash of vegetarian Worcestershire

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons of Sucanat

salt and pepper to taste

Cook the beans and edamame in boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. While the beans are cooking whisk together ingredients for vinaigrette. Plunge cooked beans and edamame into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and combine with remaining ingredients and toss with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 5-6.

Hi,
I just wanted to say that your recipes look wonderful and so delicious! I came across your website today while looking for more creative vegetarian recipes for some meal planning. I've been a vegetarian pretty much all my life and as a student who just started University last fall, I'm finding it much harder to eat healthier and to make something that's a.) quick and b.) healthy at the same time... I'm sick of grabbing lunch on the go, not to mention not having much of a choice (it's mostly fast food or equally unhealthy vegetarian options on campus) Your recipes look great, and I can't wait to try some out (I LOVE tofu) Great pictures as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
