This Quinoa Salad with Magic Green Sauce became my favorite from the first time my daughter-in-law served it for lunch during one of our visits.
It could easily be a light lunch, or as an accompaniment to a main course.
Today I will share a recipe for the salad, since you already have the sauce/dressing recipe from my previous post.
Easter is such a beautiful holiday, but here in the US, it does not even get close to the vast recognition that Christmas is showered with.
My family and I feel very lucky to be familiar with and able to practice the Ukrainian Easter traditions. Besides the 40 days of the Great Lent and the different church services from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday, there is the traditional Easter Basket Blessing, which takes place at our church on Holy Saturday, or right after the Sunrise Easter Sunday Liturgy in other parishes.
The Easter Basket of special foods (described below) is arranged on Holy Saturday and taken to church, where the parish priest performs a special blessing ceremony with prayers and sprinkling with Holy Water. Some churches perform their basket blessing on Easter Sunday, after the Morning Resurrection Liturgy.
I have some wonderful Jewish friends preparing to celebrate the Passover Holiday.
I have previously prepared and posted several Passover recipes, but today I am providing pictures and links for your convenience.
I prepared this soup for my family, and it received high approval, so I decided to share the recipe with all my blogging friends.
It is very simple and quick to prepare and loaded with healthy and nutritious ingredients. I made it with vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian, but it would also be just as delicious with chicken broth.
