I was a little leery about this recipe when I first saw it in Simply in Season. In fact, I had lots of radishes last spring but didn’t do this recipe because I just wasn’t sure about it. However, once I decided to try to cook all the recipes in this cookbook I knew I’d have to try it.

Apple Lentil Salad

When Marx Foods offered up some petite golden lentils for bloggers to sample, I knew right away I’d use them for Apple Lentil Salad from Simply in Season. What better way to showcase them?

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. Tahini Dressing 1/3 cup sesame tahini 3 Tbs.  soy sauce 3 Tbs. vinegar 1/2 bunch parsley, {Read More}

If you ever find yourself with stale bread or bread that didn’t quite turn out, make croutons! This is a great way to save money and they’re so much healthier than store-bought.

Dandelion Bacon Salad

While the title of this recipe is Dandelion Bacon Salad, Simply in Season says you can use any kind of greens. Good thing; while I do have dandelions in my yard, I do have two dogs. Our neighbors also have dogs. So I felt much safer just using some of the greens that came with my first CSA pickup.

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Two-Seed Dressing

There are endless variations to this salad listed in Simply in Season , and I chose the one that most appealed to me. The base is 4 C spinach (remove stems and tear into pieces) and 1 C strawberries. But you can use any kind of greens or sliced fruit.

Apple Carrot Salad

Another one of the recipes from Simply in Season that I looked at and said “huh?” But I’m glad I tried it, as this simple salad is refreshingly good.

Shredded Beet Salad

When you think about making a salad, I’m pretty sure beets don’t come to mind. So when I saw this recipe in Simply in Season, I had no idea if it would turn out or not. 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}
