Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Living Easy Recipes Seasonal Recipes From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking I made a roasted beet and carrot salad earlier this week. It was enough for four people but after two days, I'd eaten it all. Hey, at least it wasn't chocolate! Roasted Beet and Carrot Salad I was never a big fan of beets as a child, probably because the only way I was served them was from a jar. Roasted beets taste entirely different, as roasting them brings out the best in this earthy vegetable. Carrots complement the beets with their sweetness, which is enhanced by roasting. Spring Vegetable Risotto Many people steer clear of making risotto because it's perceived to be difficult and time consuming. The first part isn't really true, and the second part is true only if you're short on time. I find making risotto to be therapeutic; I enjoy stirring the rice as it absorbs the liquid, watching it develop a creaminess. Potato Salad with Asparagus Awaken your tastebuds with this great alternative to ordinary potato salad. A low fat vinaigrette dressing is drizzled over tender baby red potatoes, crisp asparagus tips and slices of red onion. Use green beans instead of asparagus if you prefer. Quinoa Stuffed Peppers These quinoa-stuffed peppers make a nice low-fat meatless entree or side dish. Quinoa is a wonderful option for those who can't eat gluten, plus it makes a nice change from rice or meat-filled peppers.
