apple, celery seed, cider vinegar, fresh herbs, Garlic, red onion, smoked bacon

apricot preserves, Bing cherries, fresh herbs, lime juice, lime zest, Mango, Peaches, Strawberries

Summer Fruit "Crudo" with BasilThis should probably be called a salsa.  But then most people conjure up a flavor profile of tomatoes, onions, peppers, with maybe a bit of fruit tossed in.  That’s not this…at all.  I’m serving this with very simply prepared fish, but it’s all about the fruit mixture.  I could seriously eat the whole bowl.  Just standing there, leaning up against the cupboard…it’s that good.  Continue reading →

Tags

cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, dillweed, fresh herbs, Greek yogurt, Onions, radishes

This is one of those salads that just goes together by itself.  Okay, so you do have to cut things up, and stir things up, but otherwise, it’s stupid simple.  This is good any time of the year, but when your garden patch is bursting with goodness, this is positively stellar. Continue reading →

This is a marriage made in heaven!  Inspiration is a funny thing…it can come out of nowhere.  It can be overheard.  It can sneak up on you.  Or is can simply be the unfolding of something unexplained…that’s sort what happened here.  Continue reading →

This is a summer salad.  Yes, it can be made anytime of the year, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in season, it’s spectacular.  It’s a nice picnic or BBQ side, too.  And as always, it’s very flexible.  But, no matter what options you choose, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →
