It is such a saladathon around here these days – often mixed up from random stuff I found in the fridge (which is how this one came to be!), and sometimes pre-planned and executed. This salad is eminently upgradeable, you could add almost anything to it and it would still be delicious. I opted for pretty low-key stuff, but I think it would have been great with a chopped boiled egg and some sunflower seeds for crunch.
Anyhow, I kept this one simple with only four components – leftover cold pasta, iceberg lettuce, some grilled Quorn fillets (which are amazing, and so versatile), and some leftover buttermilk ranch dressing I had from this recipe. Tossed together and dotted with a little hot sauce, and you’ve got yourself a pretty dandy (and filing!) lunch. I wouldn’t pre-make the Quorn fillets too far in advance, though, and if I did, I would keep them separate until time to eat.
I’m excited to announce that from next year, Meatless Monday will be hosted by the divine Lila at Little Wolff. I’ve more than loved playing along for the last two years, but it’s time for someone else to join the fun. It’s been a wonderful ride.
On to you! What’s happening at your place this Meatless Monday?
Lila Wolff says
Aww thanks, I’m excited too! I can’t wait until January 6 when I can show everyone what I’ve got planned, hope they all stop by my space and share their awesome meals with me!

That looks amazing!
Bridie @ Miss And Misters says
Upgradable is the best! My standard upgrades are nuts and seeds. And cheese. And wine.
Congrats Lila! Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be freeing yourself up for next year too, Stacey!

We had yummy felafel with humous and and beetroot salad. There is a new farmer’s market in town, which has an Egyptian stall. His felafel mix is amazing. x
