Ingredients
  1. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 8 ounces white button mushrooms
  3. 2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
  4. 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  5. 2 tablespoons white wine
  6. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  7. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  8. Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil Add the mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and wine. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme and oregano. Season with salt and pepper marinate for 2 hours.
Notes
  1. An antipasti platter doesn't have to be a selection of cheese and fatty cured meats. You can make a delicious and beautiful one from the many colors of the vegetable garden.
  2. Marinating the vegetables brings out a whole host of bright flavors. Serve them with rustic bread for sopping up the flavorful marinade. You can also include a hunk of Parmesan cheese on your platter; a small piece goes a long way
  3. Other nice -- and healthy -- additions to an antipasti platter are anchovies and olives. Like Parmesan, they add a pungent, salty element that contrasts nicely with the vegetables.
  4. The vegetables can be marinated at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If in the refrigerator, allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients
  1. 1-½ cups cooked quinoa (3/4 cup dried)
  2. 1-1/2 cooked black beans (rinsed if canned)
  3. 1-½ T red wine vinegar
  4. 1-1/2 cups cooked corn (cut from about two large ears), or frozen

  7. DRESSING
  8. 5 T. fresh limejuice

  11. 1/3 c. olive oil
Instructions
  1. Wash quinoa at least 5 times in a bowl of cold water, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off most of the water, until water runs clear, then drain through a fine sieve.
  2. In a saucepan of salted boiling water (2 cups) cook quinoa 10 minutes.
  3. Drain in sieve and rinse under cold water.
  4. Set sieve over a saucepan of boiling water (quinoa should not touch water) and steam quinoa, covered with a kitchen towel and lid until fluffy and dry, about 10 minutes. (Check water level occasionally, adding more if necessary.)
  5. In a small bowl, toss beans with vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and cool.
  7. Add other ingredients to cooled, fluffy quinoa.
  8. For dressing: Whisk together lime juice, salt, cumin and oil
  9. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled and covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  10. I added 2 avocados(tossed in dressing to keep from darkening), crumbled feta
  11. Other possibilities: cucumbers, grape tomatoes, celery
  12. (I didn't have corn available so skipped it and didn't miss it.)

Ingredients
  1. 1 head cauliflower (about 1 pound), trimmed to 1-inch florets
  2. 8 ounces carrots (about 1 small bunch), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  3. 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  4. 1/2 tsp. salt
  5. 1/2 cup whole-wheat couscous
  6. 1 (14.5-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  7. 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  8. 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  9. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  10. 1/4 cup chopped pitted brine-cured green olives
  11. 1/4 cup currants
  12. 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
  13. Additional Italian parsley sprigs
  14. Lemon wedges
  15. Moroccan-Spiced Dressing (see separate recipe)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Brush a heavy large rimmed sheet pan with olive oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower and carrots with the 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  4. Spread the cauliflower mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Roast the vegetables in the oven until browned in places and tender, stirring once, about 15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a heavy small saucepan.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the couscous.
  8. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
  9. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl; mix in the cauliflower, carrots, garbanzo beans, green onions, chopped parsley, cilantro, olives, and currants.
  10. Whisk the Moroccan-Spiced Dressing to blend; add to the salad and mix well.
  11. Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Salad can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  12. Sprinkle almonds over the salad and garnish with parsley sprigs. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
  1. A little bit of couscous is a great way to bind the spicy, lemony dressing with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. I buy big, meaty green olives from my favorite Middle Eastern market for this salad. The olives have pits, but a good whack with the side of a chef’s knife makes them easy to remove. Enjoy the salad warm, room temperature, or chilled.
