This fresh tomato, onion and cucumber salad is full of complex flavors and wonderful as a side dish to a heavier curry. It won’t last long in the fridge – so you might want to make it just before you are ready to eat.

Vegetarian Pho

Revitalizing, hearty, and capable of hundreds of different variations, it’s easy to see why Vietnam's famous noodle dish endears the masses. Many Vietnamese restaurants offer a vegetarian pho but it is often offered only in one gigantic size and can be pricey compared to their meaty counterparts. Homemade pho does need a commitment of time but the flavor and ease of the dish will prove to be worthwhile. A big batch of the broth can be made and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to a month. Cook the noodles and prepare the garnishes only when ready to serve.
