Carrot & Lentil Salad with Indian Curry Tahini Dressing ( Vegan ) FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in #photography7 years ago

How about an Asian influenced salad? I got a little wordy on the title, sorry about that.

For those that follow me, you'll know I am currently traveling in San Diego with my sister @fullofhope. You can check out my post from yesterday to learn more about it Gringalicious in San Diego Travel Series - Part 1. Fortunately, I was able to get some posts lined up before I left.

I'll have a few more travel posts from San Diego, but those will have to come later.

I know that curry is an acquired taste for many, and you know what, that’s totally cool because everyone is entitled to their own tastes. If curry is not you’re thing, I get it, and you can actually just leave it out of this recipe all together. But, if it is something you like then you simply have got to try this dressing, You will thank me later for sure.

I did two versions of the dressing, one vegan, so that as many of you could give this a try. If you follow me, you'll know I am not a vegan and I have this real thing for Greek yogurt, I can't help it! Just a teaser, the vegan version uses coconut milk.

One of the best parts of a salad is that it is quick and easy. I know we're all super busy and I do have a real bad habit of producing some not-so-easy recipes from time to time, I know, it's a problem. I hope you enjoy this creation and it inspires you to create your own!

Lentil is one of my favourite ingredient. I usually mix lentil with rice and cook it together. Thanks to this we've got richer version of rice ;) Salad looks really tasty and I am definitely going to try it. It looks healthy and light. Good option for supper 😊 Thank you for inspiration :D

thanks to you @xuanito for the inspiration of mixing lentil with rice, I love that idea. Thanks so much for the kind words about my post, Have a great weekend!

Have a great weekend too @gringalicious! 😊

Wow @gringalicious, it looks so delicious! Thank you very much for the inspiration, because I kind of started to be bored of salads lately, nothing new idea came into my mind. This one looks fabulous, I'll definitely do it :) Especially because I love thai food!!

I am thrilled I was able to inspire, that is always my goal. Could I make suggestion, could you add more photos to your food posts?

My family has gone vegetarian (not vegan) for Lent. We love curry and your post has reminded me of all the vegetarian curry dishes I used to eat when I “did the veg-head thing” in college for about two semesters. “Veg-head” was an insult slung at vegetarians way back then. This was back when the only vegetarian dish you could get at most restaurants was a side salad. LOL

Well, I am happy to hear that my salad was able to inspire. I try to create recipes that appeal to everyone so it's good to hear when one of my 'healthier' creations leads to inspiration. Fantastic commenting @alsedge and welcome to Steem. You're off to a great start with the commenting, keep up the good work. Feel free to contact me if you need any suggestions

Thank you. I’m actually making a spinach and mushroom risotto tonight, inspired by The Chew. But, I’m planning a curry dish with lentils next trip to the grocery, inspired by perusing your bogs.

Looks very tasty and super healthy.

thanks for commenting @unclehermit

Looks interesting when I think of somany ingredients that vary in taste. Will try to prepare it. :)

I hope you give it a try @tamsguitar and in turn take a go at making your own post about it

Hello,
It is a healthy salad and I love the color combination. Have a great weekend!

thanks so much @allesia, I am glad you liked the color combo

Asian influenced salad, I don't mind the name anything you can come up with.Whether you're on a diet, or you're looking for a go-to one bowl dinner recipe, salads should be thought of as crowd-pleasers, not a dreaded component of a meal. Great pictures by the way and enjoy your time in San Diego. Way to go girl @gringalicious

Awesome commenting @wa2qr, keep that up and you'll be a star of Steem

Thank you dear.

Gorgeous photos. I love pomegranates too!! Way to bring it @gringalicious!!
