Ceci Piccoli and Cucumber Salad

Ceci Piccoli and Cucumber Salad

Garbanzo Salads Vegan Vegetarian

Using cucumbers in a salad seems obvious, but they can be very wet, and after a short while, your salad might look more like a cold soup. Here, the seeds and middle part are scooped out, then the cucumbers are salted and left to drain excess liquid. You'll be surprised by the amount of liquid...

Italian Soups Vegan Vegetarian White Beans

During the 1980s, a lot of my friends would spend their vacations in New York. They loved the big city life, especially after San Francisco, which although romantic and sophisticated is also pretty small, which means you run into the same people wherever you go. I thought it sounded like...

Sauerkraut and White Bean Soup

Sauerkraut and White Bean Soup

Gluten-Free Omnivore soups Soups & Stews Vegan Vegetarian White Beans

I’m not trying to be funny, but the flavor just won’t be there unless you use good heirloom beans. Similarly, if you don’t have homemade sauerkraut on hand, use a trusted brand.
