Mixed Greens Salad with Dried Figs, Cranberries, Walnuts & Goat Cheese, Served with Citrus Vinaigrette
I had all these different dried fruits and nuts left over from my various creations. I decided to toss them with some beautiful winter greens, some goat cheese (everything is better with goat cheese!) and make a citrus vinaigrette, since I had copious amounts of limes in the garden. It turned out to be my family’s new favorite salad. It’s a perfect way to either to start your meal, as we do in the U.S., or end it, as they do in Europe. It could actually be it’s own meal in itself since there’s so many goodies in there. Feel free to change up the dried fruits and nuts so whatever you find in your pantry.
Orange, Fennel, Black Olive Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
This salad really hits all those magical taste bud notes! You have the sweetness of the orange, the crunchy anise flavor of the fennel, and the saltiness of the black olives….all tossed together with a lovely citrusy vinaigrette! I love how bright all the flavors are and it really is the perfect way to start or end your meal.
Sautéed Chicken with Tomatoes & Arugula
This sauce of fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, shallots, and garlic with a pinch of vinegar is super colorful and SO flavorful! It’s the perfect topper for this perfectly sautéed chicken, all on a bed of arugula. You’ll love the fresh balance of sweet, savory, bitter, and salty.
Arugula Pesto Christmas Tree
This is a play on a classic rillettes, which is kinda like a pate that is usually made with a combination of meat usually pork, spices all cooked in fat. To achieve a delectable spread. Instead of meat, we are using perfectly poached salmon combined with smoked salmon along with herbs, lemon, and butter to make a sublime spread that is delicious for an appetizer or try it for brunch. Served with crostini or Melba toast crackers, it’s a very elegant and versatile spread.
