Yum. Dinner solved, thanks. Trying to decide if I’m going to add bacon. What would be a good bacon substitute? Maybe some chopped smoky almonds….

I would just go ahead and add bacon, but I also recently made crispy seasoned chickpeas (just peel, season, and bake until crispy) to top salads with and you can season however you want and they offer a nice crunch -- you could season with chipotle chili power or similar to get a smokiness.

This looks phenomenal but sadly no one in my family but me would eat it. So sick of cooking around 5 different sets of preferences.

I’m excited for my lunch today. Leftover brown rice with chopped farm cherry tomatos, leftover corn, avocado, chopped arugula, black beans and a scoop of the Trader Joe’s everything but the elote dip (which is so tasty in rice bowls).

Wegman's has a new(ish) lemon beet hummus that is so good with baby carrots.

One of our favorite salads is chopped up curly kale, avocado, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, walnuts and feta. We use a lemon vinaigrette that we massage into the kale before adding the other ingredients. Every time we have that on our vegetarian day, we are all so happy.

So many good salad and grain bowl recipes in this thread! I have been looking for new ideas, as I'm terrible at coming up with them on my own and often the ideas I find online aren't quite right.

A whole tin of smoked oysters with some multigrain tortilla chips. I put a little hot chili oil with them. Weird, yes. But quick and delicious on a busy day where I plan to squeeze in some exercise at lunch.

Perfect! I’ve been meaning to make crispy chick peas.

Anything a little special or different but healthy you have been enjoying recently?

Peaches are in season. Yum.

Oh peaches!

I used to make a really nice salad with white peaches, arugula, blanched green beans and feta. I should make that again soon.

Add some pine nuts and orange segments in there!

Loving this thread!
Last night I was craving cucumbers, so I sliced one up and topped with chili crisp and a splash of rice vinegar. It was delicious!

I had some perfect avocado and made a simple avocado and cucumber salad with a gochujang-rice vinegar dressing. Simple and so good!

Great snack idea, filing that one away, thanks!
