my friend, carol, thought it would be nice to get together to share salad recipes. we met this afternoon at janet's. all the lovely dishes you see on the table were made by janet, and they showcased the different salads beautifully.
janet made a kale salad with almonds and sesame seeds and a vinaigrette dressing (apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil and braggs aminos). the salad on the right is my baby spinach salad with clementines and toasted walnuts and a honey mustard balsamic vinegar dressing (with an olive oil base). carol put together two salads. one was sliced raw beets with a dollop of creme fraiche and a drizzle of walnut oil. the other was raw zucchini spirals with avocado slices and grapefruit segments and a vinegar and olive oil dressing.
carol also made a dessert! she dehydrated coconut and almonds with some dates and a little maple syrup. ohhhh. they were good.
it was a nice afternoon . . quiet and peaceful. carol's daughter is now 13, my youngest is 12, and janet's youngest is 8. though i feel certain worries have intensified, overall, life is a bit more quiescent than when they were all little.
That looks yummy! I also sometimes make a raw beet salad with roasted sunflower seeds, cream,salt, and apple cider vinegar. I sweeten it with a touch of maple syrup. Even Peter, who doesn't like beets, likes this recipe.
ReplyDeleteooohh, i love beet salad like the one you make! i sometimes feta cheese, but a little cream sounds yummy too. i'd like to try it soon :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, I not only took yoga classes, but also natural cooking classes (all vegetarian). Those classes were offered by the German "evening schools," that offer classes for adults in the evenings. The beet recipe is from one of those classes, so really "old." I grate the beets with an equal number of apples. The sunflower seeds are roasted.
