Welcome!

Welcome to Romeo's Food Lady! This blog contains recipes for delicious vegetarian food. Most of these are not recipes authored by me. Rather, this is just a compilation of great veggie food I've found from all over the place, usually tweaked just a little. It's intended to be a reference FOR ME so I don't lose great food I've found nor the changes I've made to suit my tastes, but I'm happy for you to use it, too. After more than 25 years of being a vegetarian, I know what tastes good.
Romeo's Food Lady is named after my friend and cat, Romeo. Romeo is not a vegetarian, but his Food Lady is!

Fantastic Salad

A lovely, easy rainbow salad brought to you by me...


Ingredients:
pre-washed, packaged spring mix
chopped red cabbage
shredded carrots (I buy the packaged, pre-shredded kind when I'm super busy.)
roasted red peppers, chopped (Make sure there is no sugar in the brand you buy.  I use Mezetta.)
yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
canned red beans, rinsed and drained
vinaigrette dressing (homemade or your favorite brand)
pepitas (These are hulled pumpkin seeds.  I buy them in bulk at Whole Foods.)
pepperoncini peppers

fancy crackers, for serving (I like La Panzanella's rosemary crackers.)

Method:
Using amounts suitable to you, combine the spring mix, chopped red cabbage, shredded carrots, roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red beans in a salad bowl.  Toss with a small amount of vinaigrette.  Top with pepitas and serve with pepperoncini peppers and fancy crackers.
