Hot weather and cheap salad greens inspired this lunch from last weekend.
We went to
Aldi on Sunday, to pick up a few things. While I was there, I saw salad greens for 99c for a big pack. I also got a
Turkish bread, to put with some
hommous I had at home.
I made this salad. It was mixed salad greens, grape tomatoes, 6 mushrooms sliced and grilled, some chopped cucumber, a spoonful of capers and some mustard dressing. The dressing was actually left over
roumalade sauce from Vegan brunch, with a few tablespoons of cider vinegar and a teaspoon of sugar. (Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar, by heating it in the microwave.) It would also be good with the maple mustard dressing from
Veganomnicon.
At the back, there is some toasted
Turkish bread with
hommous on it.
As an aside, I quite like shopping at
Aldi. Many of their items are actually labelled "suitable for vegans." It takes a lot of the guess work out of shopping.
I've never been to an Aldi! I am surprised, really, that we don't have one up here in Townsville.
