For Meatless Monday, go Southeast to Thailand.  Thailand is famous for their spicy curries.  The base of each curry is coconut milk and red, yellow, or green curry paste.  You can add whatever veggies, herbs, or chiles you want after that.  I love the combination of tofu and eggplant.  Instead of salt, Thai cusine uses fish sauce to add saltiness to dishes.  If you are a vegetarian and don't want to use the fish sauce, try using soy sauce.  It will be a different flavor but still be delicious.
