getting our ducks in a row: around the world in five days

meatless monday
notes from maggie's farm



For the following week, we'll be about the business of getting our ducks in a row. That doesn't mean we won't be here, we'll just be a little quieter. We'll be sharing some of the best of the rest-- healthy and delicious fare found in our travels around the world, via the interwebs. Buckle your seat belts....first stop: Israel.  
The internationally renowned, Israeli born chef and restaurant owner Yotam Ottolenghi opened his first deli almost 10 years ago. He is not a vegetarian but has become famous for his innovative, delicious take on vegetables, pulses, grains and salads, culminating in Plenty - a collection of vegetarian recipes.  

Quinoa, Fennel, and Pomegranate Salad

Pair fennel with jewellike pomegranate seeds and power-packed quinoa for texture, and you have the hallmarks of an Ottolenghi salad.
