I need to try it again.<br /><br />When I make a blueberry smoothie I can add spinach since the smoothie stays purple. I guess it is all visual with me.<br /><br />The miso dressing without any fat worked better than I expected. You might want to try that for lunch or dinner.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-32921590458391930462009-12-15T14:45:07.674-05:002009-12-15T14:45:07.674-05:00Lovely salad, but I know what you mean about it be...Lovely salad, but I know what you mean about it being unorthodox. I remember my post with my first green smoothie a number of weeks ago, and now I make them easily and regularly. I'm still a holdout on salad for breakfast, though. :-)Cindy Marschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902687329094127050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-87927684071943223852009-12-14T13:50:15.035-05:002009-12-14T13:50:15.035-05:00lilli,

You could substitute regular rice vinegar and a little agave for the mirin. I actually do that when I am out of mirin.<br /><br />Thanks for the question,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-4072416860802823862009-12-14T13:42:09.441-05:002009-12-14T13:42:09.441-05:00This salad looks really good!

I have one question though: your ingredient list says that the dressing is made from miso and mirin, but in the recipe you mention that the vinegar will keep he apples from browning. Since there is no vinegar in the ingredients, I was just wondering if by 'mirin' you actually meant to say 'rice vinegar' or if you just accidentally left the vinegar out?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885572408541310234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36900826170470400612009-12-13T19:37:16.085-05:002009-12-13T19:37:16.085-05:00Courtney,

I think you are right I will get used to it. Thanks for the reminder on hummus on salad. I first discovered that this summer and really liked it. Don't know why I haven't used it recently. However, I really appreciate the suggestion. If you think of any other tips please feel free to share. I would love to hear any suggestions you have to make this easier.<br /><br />thanks again,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-28749729329785378982009-12-13T16:35:05.735-05:002009-12-13T16:35:05.735-05:00I think you probably will get used to the no oil t...I think you probably will get used to the no oil thing...now when I have an oil based dressing (very rarely) it is waaaaaay too oily for me. Something I like to do--and it helps get the beans in too--is to thin out some homemade hummus and use that as a dressing. So good!<br /><br />CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
