Monbento Original #4 (Double Tier)
The mango couscous salad did not call for salt. I was skeptical, but went with it. But I think if you use silken tofu in it as suggested as the non-dairy version (substituting for the yogurt), you need salt. You might anyway, but especially if you use the tofu. So I added salt later on. It is not my favorite thing; I won't make it again. But I ate all I'd made--it wasn't completely inedible, just bland.
The green salad, on the other hand, was surprisingly spicy! I tried out the cracked pepper version of the bac'n bits and they really pack a kick. Be forewarned if you're not into spicy things.
That's too bad that the mango couscous salad was bland, but the spicy bac'n bits sound like a fun topping for the green salad!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely perked up a lunch that would have otherwise disappointed me!
DeleteThat's a shame about the mango salad, in theory it sounds lovely and summery.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I did feel a bit skeptical of the no-salt thing, though, I will confess.
DeleteIt's too bad about the mango salad. I agree with Susan, it does sound like it would be a perfect summer meal. Your green salad does look delicious and refreshing and thankfully had more flavor!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I tried it, anyway!
