This simple whole wheat pasta salad is one of our favorites. The combination of flavors really lends itself to whole wheat pasta. The sweet acidity of the balsamic vinegar pairs perfectly with the fresh basil and creates a delightful contrast to the hint of fresh garlic. The sundried tomatoes and fresh shredded parmesan provide just the right accent. The peas and corn give it great texture.

Poke, pronounced POH-keh, is a traditional Hawaiian fish preparation that has evolved into what today is a combination of cubed sashimi style seafood tossed with a variety of Hawaiian and Japanese condiments. It is typically served as an appetizer and its flavors reflect the cultural and culinary melting pot that make up the Hawaiian islands.
We prepare a vegetarian version at home with tofu and serve it over a wonderful salad made with kale, broccolini, edamame, and brown rice. If you have ever enjoyed poke, you will love this salad. The flavor combinations are unique and wonderfully refreshing. It makes a perfect light and satisfying summer lunch.

On a beautiful spring day, perhaps nothing makes a better lunch than a salad that is at once refreshing and hearty. Something that will give you the nutrients and energy to get through an active outdoor day without slowing you down. This morning, I awoke inspired to whip up a hearty grain salad for lunch. A trip to the market yielded some yellow squash, fresh mushrooms, red onions, and red pears. My local health food store recently started carrying Kamut so it seemed like an appropriate time to experiment with it.

Some good friends of ours recently asked us for this recipe. They planned to serve it at a family Easter dinner. We met with them yesterday and it sounds like they loved it. It had been a little while since we last made it, so we decided to put some red wheat berries to soak last night before bed.
