Cold Summer Quinoa/Couscous Salad

Cook Quinoa or couscous. Let cool. (can put in the refridgerator for a while, or just use yesterday's.)
Thinly slice or dice cucumber.
Cut some avocado.
Grill some salmon-- better if it's shredded (haven't tried frying shredded salmon yet-- will let you know how that goes)

Dressing: light mayo, lemon, vinegar dressing

Mommy's Asian Dressing

Put in a jar:

1 cup oil (not olive--use canola or other lighter tasting oil)

1/2 cup vinegar, 6 tbsp sugar, 1-2 tbsp kosher salt, ground pepper

Shake.

Toss onto 1 head shredded cabbage, 6 green onions slivered, 1/2 cup roasted slivered almonds and 1/4 c sesame seeds. Toss it all around. The yummy num nums. :3

Veggie Dressing

Blend together:

• miso
• ginger
• tofu
• olive oil
• vinegar
• garlic

Serve on a salad, or use for a dip for celery or carrot sticks, and enjoy!
Sesame oil would also add some more flavor. Or, if wanting a more Japanese flavor, a tad of soy sauce.
