Japanese Cabbage Salad with Creamy Miso Sauce
The salad itself is Napa cabbage with scallions, almonds, and sesame seeds.
The miso sauce dressing has tahini, lime, white miso and soy sauce.
Good dish for a hot day. Heat wave ends tonight.
Kombucha: plum ginger.
Dessert: cold tea and a tangerine.

(23,453 posts)I made a small batch of potato salad yesterday. I did some chores in the house today, and was glad to have some fast and easy.
I had some coconut macaroons and frozen blueberries earlier, so no dessert now.

(5,888 posts)When I first entered the kitchen, hungry, weary from the road and ready to crash... I did soup:
I had pour-over coffee while I waited for the soup to heat.
Good ol' Amy's low-sodium vegetable chunky on the ready for a quick fix.
I opened a bag of emergency organic popcorn while I waited for the soup to heat.
threw some croutons on the soup and ate the whole thing. I napped all afternoon.
Dinner
After a long day nap... another quickie:
blue tortillas heated in olive oil with leftover seasoned (canned) black beans and swiss cheese.
organic coconut milk for beverage....
