    Green bean salad with yoghurt miso dressing

    Before I started blogging, back in 2007, I was a regular reader of Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks. And I'm still a reader now.

    Her food is just as inspiring to me now as it was back then, and I love discovering new ingredients through Heidi's recipes. And while quinoa wasn't a new ingredient to me, I loved Heidi's use of quinoa to make patties, and adaptions of Heidi's base recipe have become a firm favourite in our house, with zucchini and haloumi quinoa patties, and Asian style quinoa patties (which you'll find in my cookbook Delicious everyday) becoming weekly staples.

    Last week Heidi shared her "Ideal Lunch Salad".  The yoghurt miso dressing sounded divine, and I couldn't wait to make it. I wasn't quite sure how it would go down with my husband though, as the salad contained chickpeas, which my husband despises. So I sneakily decided to roughly mash the chickpeas, hoping he wouldn't recognise them, but no such luck. The upside was I had leftovers of the salad for lunch the next day. Every cloud has a silver lining!

    I made a few changes to Heidi's salad, based on what I had on hand and our tastes. Replacing the broccoli for green beans, and removing the avocado and black olives. I also added some sunflower seeds.

    This delicious substantial salad makes a wonderful lunch or side salad and I think it would also make wonderful picnic food. I can see this salad will become a lunch staple for me for sometime.

      I ogle Heidi's recipes all the time - such gorgeous ingredients and unusual combinations. I loved that lunchtime salad and have already made it - I like the idea of including smashed chickpeas here.

      Mmmm, this looks great and the dressing sounds so tasty. I have similar chick pea issues with one of my kids - she loves hummus, but hates chick peas!

        While Troy doesn't love hummus, he will eat it. I don't think he's worked out what it's made from 😀 So luckily I can make hummus to my hearts content! 🙂
