Empty the fridge Salad

 With all the fresh veggies from the CSA farm delivery, I decided to just combine them all and make a nice summer salad. I crumbled some tofu on top. I added some kidney beans I had in the fridge. I cut up a bit of the green part of the fennel bulb I had. The other veggies are listed below with pictures to accompany them! A wonderful salad I look forward to making again with new veggies with my next veggie delivery!

Sweet snap peas that Britney and I just snacked on. Didn't want them to be lost in the salad!

White radishes. Threw away the greens (well I cut a few into the salad) and chopped up radishes and threw into salad.

Fresh red and yellow potatoes that I boiled, cut up and threw into my salad!

Such a fresh white onion, it's more like a mixture of green onion AND white onion!

Kohlrabi: tastes like cabbage, looks like alien produce. Delicious raw! NOT the leaves though

Homemade dressing with lime, miso, honey and sesame oil. Quite tasty!

Miso-Lime Dressing

Salad dressing version

Please note: quantities are highly, highly experimental - i have no idea how much i actually use. Adjust to taste. Let me know what actually works.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp miso
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger, crushed or juiced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Shake all ingredients together. Serve over, well, salad!

Roasted Lettuce Head

Tasted yummy fresh out of oven, warm and crispy. Later on I couldn't stomach trying it after it was refrigerated. Had to throw it out. Next time, don't roast the entire head!
