Tahini Dressing

Spring greens can sometimes be strong in flavor, at least for those of us used to good old iceberg. When a friend on our CSA Yahoo Group suggested this dressing from Chef Andrea Beaman, I thought I’d give it a try. As a bonus it uses up lots of parsley and green onions, both of which we have an abundance of in the spring.

The original recipe in Simply in Season is for raspberry vinaigrette dressing, but since I have some strawberries on my counter I thought I’d give it a try using them. Then I brought it to my parent’s house (along with some of the abundant lettuce we received from the CSA) for Sunday dinner.

There are several recipes like that in this cookbook, and so far I’ve been pleasantly surprised. There are a few variation of this salad in the cookbook, but this one is the simplest: Simple Shredded Beet Salad 1 cup carrots, shredded 1 cup beets {Read More}

For those keeping track of which Simply in Season recipes I’m making, I’m counting this towards the “Spring Greens Salad” recipe, which is a great template for salad. It suggests starting with 8 cups of leaf lettuce, baby spinach, or other salad greens, gives a list of potential toppings (note: I’m quite disappointed that mushrooms weren’t included), and 5 dressing recipes. Why am I making a spring salad in winter? I’m glad you asked. Recently I discovered this cool company {Read More}
