‘Tis the season for citrus galore! The weather as been all sorts of wild this winter between snow, rain, wind, landslides, sink holes, oh my! This usually makes me want to bundle up inside with something warm and cozy like soup or stew. But per usual, I’m also craving a good solid serving of fresh vegetables. This Grapefruit & Fennel Salad is a lovely wintery combo to accompany your warming main courses this winter.
Did you know that it is avocado season? I feel like here on the west coast we get decent avocados for a large portion of the year, I had never put two and two together that late summer was when they were their tastiest. This Sweet Corn Avocado Bean Salad combines the best veggies of late summer with a simple dressing that will be a delicious side dish to any meal.
For the longest time, I was not a beet fan. They had a bizarre texture, I thought they tasted a bit too…earthy…and I just preferred other vegetables. But that all changed one day when I had a french roasted beet salad doused in a yummy vinaigrette. Now every so often I get intense cravings for a good old beet salad. And low and behold, when I got some beautiful golden beets in my Imperfect Produce box recently, I knew exactly what I was going to do. Classic by no means, this Beet Salad with Carrot Top Pesto is succulent and hard to stop eating.
Every week I try my hardest to meal prep and make sure I have lunches and some dinners ready to go and ready to eat. But of course, that’s not realistic every single week… So one of my favorite lunches to grab near my day job office when I didn’t make anything to bring with me is a killer steak salad. It’s simplicity is really what got me. But the more I started getting this salad, the more I realized I should just make it myself at home! And here is is: the Ultimate Steak Salad.
