M&S Super Wholefood Salad

M&S Super Wholefood Salad

By Bill on October 12, 2010

“Super wholefood salad with a mint vinaigrette” This isn’t my favorite salad in the M&S Super Wholefood line. It has loads of healthy stuff–edamame, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, lentils–but it’s just not as flavorful as their other salads. As advertised, it’s very minty, but that’s all I wrote while taking my tasting notes. It would make […]

M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash

M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash

By Sharon on September 15, 2010

“Tomato & basil chicken, couscous & butternut squash with a sweet balsamic dressing.” Sharon rule: When it comes to food prep, the less the better. When left to my own devices, I’ll eat a progressive dinner of cheese and crackers, yogurt, peanut butter from a spoon, followed by whatever sweet thing is in the house. […]

M&S Super Wholefood Salad with a Lemon & Herb Dressing

M&S Super Wholefood Salad with a Lemon & Herb Dressing

By Bill on September 8, 2010

This is a beautiful salad. Red peppers, orange squash, green Tenderstem broccoli and asparagus, magenta pomegranate seeds on a beige canvas of couscous. The peppers and squash have real grill marks on them, not the painted-on kind. My wife loves this salad because the orange and green components aren’t the usual carrots and green beans […]

M&S Couscous & Roasted Vegetables

M&S Couscous & Roasted Vegetables

By Bill on August 9, 2010

“Couscous & roasted vegetables with a lemon dressing.” This is definitely better than Tesco’s attempt at couscous. The vegetables are eggplant, zucchini, red pepper and onion, and though they don’t actually taste roasted they are cooked well. The one problem with it is that it’s just too darn sweet. It doesn’t taste so much lemony […]

Tesco Bean & Red Pepper Couscous

Tesco Bean & Red Pepper Couscous

By Bill on July 20, 2010

“Rehydrated couscous, borlotti beans, chickpeas and red peppers in a mustard dressing.” Not an auspicious beginning. It’s dry and gummy at the same time.  The dressing is undetectable. I want this to be good because vegetarian sides (other than slaw) are rare at my Tesco. It even has beans, another rarity, but not many. It’s […]
