Power salad (giveaway)

I raved about Earthbound Farm’s organic powermeal salads before, and now I’m gonna give you the opportunity to win a free one to try for yourself!

I tried the blueberry quinoa protein salad before we headed to South America. 

IMG_4187

Baby spinach, quinoa, sunflower kernels, dried blueberries, and a balsamic vinaigrette.

Unlike last time, I made a slight alteration by adding silken tofu.  It wasn’t because I thought the salad needed more protein, it was because I had half a box of ‘fu that I didn’t want to waste.

This quinoa tasted different than when I make it (which is probably because it’s not fresh and stored in a vacuum-sealed pouch).  It was crunchier in texture and had a semi-salty flavor to it, too.  I didn’t mind either of these things actually.  The sunflower seeds were good, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the blueberries.  It may have been because the tofu changed the salad as a whole, but they just seemed out of place. 

I’ll still buy it again though. 

So now, for the giveaway portion of the post…

Earthbound Farm is giving two HHH readers EBF coupons (roughly $5 to cover the cost of any EBF product) and a copy of The Earthbound Cook by Myra Goodman.

To enter, comment below telling me which EBF salad you’d like to try.

I’ll announce the random winners on December 22.

    I’m going to have to look for these salads, I love the idea behind them. I think the tomatillo black bean sounds amazing, but am concerned about the 23g of fat from soy oil. Wish they would’ve used olive oil in the dressing.

    Tough call, but despite the fact that the Tomatillo Black Bean might help cure me of my “I miss Austin, TX” nostalgia…I think the Blueberry Quinoa just sounds the most intriguing…
