Vegetarian Stuffed Dumplings + Caraway Cabbage

Although I have not been a practicing vegetarian for several years,  I am always on the lookout for vegetarian dishes as they are a healthier and more socially responsible alternative.

I was pleased to find recipes for the above posted by The Chubby Vegetarian featuring dumplings made with tofu, carrots, celery, green peas and spices in wonton wrappers served with cooked cabbage with red pepper, garlic, caraway, and Apple Cider vinegar sounds like a flavorful and filling meal intend to try some time.

For the recipe, visit The Chubby Vegetarian.

This Asian Slaw with Ginger Peanut Dressing recipe by Once Upon A Chef, which includes making the fresh dressing sound like it would be refreshing change from a regular salad, which is why I am putting it on my list.

The salad itself is made out of cabbage, carrots, edamame, scallions, peanuts, a red pepper and cilantro and the dressing out of honey, oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and peanut butter.

CRUNCHY VEGETABLE MAKE AHEAD SALAD

I was looking up a recipe on Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing recipe on their website that I had seen on TV and came across this also and putting it on my project list for this summer when vegetables are in season and not so expensive.  I like all of the ingredients in the salad but have never tried all of them in the same salad before.

Below is the recipe from Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing website:
"

• 2/3 cup Hidden Valley® The Original Ranch® Garden Vegetable Dressing
• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 cups sugar snap peas, ends trimmed and stems removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• ½ cups diced red bell pepper
• ½ cup minced red onion
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 3 cups shredded red cabbage
• ⅓ cup sunflower seeds"

Just toss together and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
