Watermelon, Feta, Black Olive Salad Meatless Monday recipe

Watermelon, Feta, Black Olive Sala — Tom Hirschfeld/bonafidefarmfood.com

Another benefit of meatless meals, beyond the reduction of saturated fat and calories in your diet, is that it can inspire a search for new recipes, food combinations and ways of thinking about cooking. Try some of today's recipes for fresh menu ideas.

Breakfast:
Spiced Oven-Puffed Pancake

This recipe provides easy instructions for assembling ingredients for this rustic pancake the night before. The next morning, mix it all together and pop it in the oven. Top with berries and a dusting of powdered sugar and you are off to a good start for another Meatless Monday.

Lunch:
Watermelon, Feta and Black Olive Salad

Sometimes the most unlikely ingredients complement one another in a dish so magnificently that you will want to make it every week. This salad is one of those soon-to-be-favorite recipes.

Dinner:
Greek Three Cheese, Spinach and Onion Potpie

Not all potpies need to be made from pie pastry dough. Keep a package of phyllo dough in the freezer for quick meals such as this potpie and other easy savory meatless pastries.
