Why You Need to Try this Dressing I can’t take credit for this brilliant flavor combination; it was inspired by a visit to Swingers diner back when I lived in Los Angeles. There, they serve an amazing Mediterranean platter, complete with falafel, hummus, and a Greek salad topped with a tahini-dill dressing. I attempted to recreate this salad dressing several times at home with no luck, until I came across a similar recipe in one of my favorite vegan cookbooks, Veganomicon....

You might not know this about me, but I am a granola addict. When I was in law school, I bought Nature’s Valley Pumpkin Spice granola in bulk to make studying a teensy bit more bearable. Here’s my big secret though: I’m that person who goes digging around the bin for the huge clusters, what I like to call nuggets of gold. I feel sorry for the person who was buying the bulk granola after me (but not really)....
What is Miso Soup made of? The essential ingredient in miso soup is, not surprisingly, miso. Miso is a fermented soybean paste that has a savory and salty flavor. Miso is already considered to be incredibly healthy, but I think this particular soup is even better, thanks to the extra vegetables added in. Traditional miso soup is made with tofu and green onions, and sometimes a sheet of seaweed, but I don’t keep tofu on hand so I’ve replaced it here with shiitake mushrooms, which have a very meat-like texture and flavor....

The pumpkin flavor isn’t prominent in this recipe, despite using a whole can of pumpkin puree. It adds a nice orange hue to the sauce, and makes this recipe extra sauce-y, which is what my family prefers when it comes to curry recipes. Have homemade pumpkin puree to use up? That might be thicker than the canned version I used here, so feel free to use a little less pumpkin, or add a splash of water to help thin out the sauce a bit....
