It doesn’t read or look like typical banana bread, but it tastes surprisingly similar to the classic. If your favorite banana bread recipe has walnuts in it, try sprinkling some on top after the bread comes out of the oven.
Sometimes, you just need things to be easy. You need lunch or dinner to take less than half an hour to prepare, and you want to make it early in the day so that it’s ready when you are. This pasta salad is for just such a day. (It doesn’t hurt that it’s cheerfully bright and ideal for eating outside in the sun.) This perfect pasta salad really only takes as long to make as your pasta takes to cook.
You’d think that egg salad, which is made with eggs and mayonnaise (which is also made with eggs) might be a little hard to make if you don’t eat, well, eggs. Turns out you’d be wrong! These tofu egg-less salads are surprisingly convincing and, dare I say, even better than the classic. What’s more, you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting for fear of it going bad. Rather, leave it covered in the refrigerator overnight to let the spices seep into the tofu and make it taste even better the next day.
Few things are lovelier or more refreshing than a salad of freshly cut fruit. The only way to make an already-great fruit salad better? A drizzle of bright, lightly sweet lime-agave dressing.
