Sesame Noodle Salad
Recipe By:jkmom
"This amazing salad recipe was given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry's Markets in the Seattle area. I've added to the recipe a little -- so it's not exactly the same... but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves it! May also add diced chicken for a variation."

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
  • 1/2 cup sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot chili oil
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.

Alex's Raw Chocolate Pudding
Recipe By:Alex
"It may seem odd to have a banana and avocado in the same recipe, but the banana completely hides any taste of the avocado. The avocado is there simply for texture and nutritional value. Even my kids love this recipe! You can use any unsweetened milk in this recipe - almond, soy, rice, or coconut - and for a little crunch, use raw cocoa nibs instead of the cocoa powder."

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
  • 1 banana, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1/4 cup raw cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

Directions

  1. Place avocado, banana, soy milk, cocoa powder, agave nectar, lemon juice, and coconut into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Divide into small containers, and store in the refrigerator 1 hour until set.
