Vegetarian Food Vegetarian Food Getting Started Easy Vegetarian Recipes Vegetarian Holidays From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food Take inspiration from nature when building a healthy vegetarian salad, and fill it with the best the farmer's market has to offer! Greens such as watercress, arugula or frissee form a textured base for gourmet salads and a nice change from the usual iceberg or romaine blends. Add color, texture and unusual ingredients to make your gourmet salad unexpected and exciting: blueberries, pinenuts, candied pecans, fennel, edamame, or, if you're not vegan, an artisan cheese. And for the final touch, of course, you need a gourmet homemade salad dressing. Watercress, frissee and avocado salad A healthy and fresh watercress salad with frissee lettuce and avocado. Spicy jalapeno, tangy lime and a dash of salt add plenty of exciting flavors to this gourmet frissee salad.

Amazing? Unquestionably! Quinoa, blueberries, harvati cheese in a peppery vinaigrette may not be your average salad, but it certainly will be a memorable addition to any gourmet meal.
