Ultimate Night Garden Salad

Recipe: Imagined!

We play ultimate once a week in an indoor league. The games start at 8:30pm, and we play two 45-minute games back-to-back. The first night of league, we went with a group of friends to all-you-can-eat sushi. It was a mistake. Now we try to think of light meals that are ready around 6pm.

The only creative part of this was the croutons. We used homemade bread and toasted it in the oven. The rest was just salad ingredients, but it was tasty!

This was fine, but there are other salmon recipes I enjoy more. The coconut milk added a mild coconut undertone that wasn't overwhelming, and I liked the combination of scallions and parsley. I wouldn't use the pumpkin seeds in the couscous if I were to make this again.

Maybe the overall flavor combinations were just too wild for me. Here's a plus, though: it came together quickly! Really--five minutes, and then we just waited for it to cook.
