Grilled Veggies with a Yogurt-Cumin Sauce by Kyra Martin

This was so fresh and light. I really loved it. If you're using Greek yogurt, omit the sour cream. I used squash, but I think sauce would be good with any Mediterranean type vegetable.

Kale, butter bean and lemon quinoa salad by Kyra Martin

I'm not normally a kale fan, but this might make a believer out of me. The quinoa on it's own was amazing and then it just got topped with even more goodness! I really want to try this with other greens too. I think it would be amazing with arugula.

I roasted red, yellow and orange peppers and purple onion. (Many people call it red onion but I see purple.) Then, I added artichoke hearts,…

Chewy Tabbouleh by Rich H

I love tabbouleh. This recipe is a slight departure from tradition, using wheat berries versus the usual cracked wheat. The wheat berries add more body and crunch. I also added quinoa to round it out to a full dinner salad versus a side salad..
