Kernöl, or pumpkin seed oil, is a specialty of Steiermerk (Styria). It isn't well-known outside of Austria, and that is a shame. It's expensive to find in the US, but finding good Austrian kernöl is worth it, because it's so unique and delicious. Here I've made a roasted fingerling potato salad with shallots, and dressed it with a red wine vinegar and kernöl dressing. Totally simple, totally delicious.
Alongside this little potato salad, I have a giveaway from the lovely Leanne of Vaute Couture, winner of VegNews 2010 company of the year! Well deserved, because she's wonderful and makes wonderful coats. Leanne will provide you with this great vegan salad-y t-shirt. Available sizes are XS to L in women's, or S-M in men's. (That's Leanne on the left!)

We eat so much salad b/c we LOVE it! My favorite salad is made with red leaf lettuce, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, hot peppers, radishes, and gluten free goddess dressing.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that potato salad looks amazing. Perfect winter food. Also, my dad and I break into a conga line chanting "you don't make friends with salad" at any mention of the dish, so I really, really need that shirt.
ReplyDeleteI love a big green salad with quinoa, roast cubed beets, avocado, radishes, and carrots and some hippie stuff like dulse flakes. Or the german potato salad my mom used to make, which I don't think is vegan but I've made/had vegan versions that were good. Unfortunately, I'm strictly a size L guy, but I'm still glad to leave a comment.
ReplyDeletePumpkin seed oil is my favorite salad dressing - I think it doesn't even need vinegar at all. :) Your potato salad looks really good!
ReplyDeletePS. As I don't live in the US at the moment, don't count me in the giveaway. ;)
Your potato salad looks delicious! And I love the t-shirt! I love all sorts of nuts and seeds in my salad--walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, etc. Everything else is just extra ;)
ReplyDeleteOo ooo, I love that shirt! And I love salad! It's a good thing too, because I'm super-overloaded with it during the summer from all the lettuce and veggies in my CSA. I like to saute some tofu or tempeh to add to the top of my salads, and it's really yummy mixed with a homemade vegan ranch dressing.
ReplyDeleteheck yeah! I totally win friends with salad... especially my kick ass moroccan orange & date salad. It is awesome.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your potatoes look so delicious. I've never had pumpkin seed oil... or even heard of it!
last salad-spinach, grated carrot, whitebean dip, peas. it was pretty good
ReplyDeleteI love making Greek Salad with Temphen Bacon and Kalamata Olives.
ReplyDeleteSalad for me has absolutely no limits...the lettuce is like a garnish after I load anything and everything from the fridge onto it!
