Thousand Island DressingBy Life and Health NetworkYou probably read “Thousand Island Dressing” and immediately thought of salads. Well, California is home to an world-famous burger shop called In ‘N’ Out. They make simple burgers—toasted bun, burger, tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.—but they also slather on a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing instead of ketchup and mustard. I say all of this to tell anyone who’s tried and loved this burger that you can recreate this burger at home, but with all plant-based ingredients! This Thousand Island dressing is completely vegan (as long as you get vegan Worchestershire sauce) and is great on burgers, sandwiches, as dip, and of course, on salads.Agave-Orange Salad DressingBy Life and Health NetworkNot all salad dressings have to be oil-and-vinegar ones. This dressing will take “crisp and refreshing” salads to a whole new level, adding a citrusy, tangy, and slightly sweet note to any bed of greens. (I like it best on fresh chopped romaine, like the Romaine Citrus Salad).Romaine Citrus SaladBy Life and Health NetworkCount ‘em: 1-2-3. Three ingredients, plus an equally simple dressing equals a quick salad that works even for special occasions. Crisp, refreshing, and slightly tangy-sweet, this one is a newfound family favorite that I’m really excited to share with you.Broccolini & Grape SaladBy Life and Health NetworkBroccolini is a green vegetable similar to broccoli, but with smaller florets and longer thin stalks.

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.Grilled Cheese-Style SandwichBy Life and Health NetworkGooey cheese? Check. Toasty bread? Check.
