Cooked Salad

 

Don't let the title stop you from making this. Not only was it insanely easy but so good. I'm no nonsense, these days...enough talking here's the recipe. 

Cooked Salad

1 lg. head of green cabbage
2 bags kale 
2 cups cooked quinoa 
Olive oil
Salt
2 tsp Herbs de provence
2 tsp Soffritto
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
1/4 honey
sliced red onion

1) Slice cabbage, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt. Place on cookie sheet bake @ 450 for 20-25 minutes

2) Place kale on cookie sheet drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt. Bake @ 450 for 5 minutes (check may be done sooner, it cooks fast)

3) Whisk together 2 TBSP water and honey. In a sauce pan add 2 tsp of olive oil, add in herbs de provence and Soffritto. Pour in honey & water mixture, stir until it thickens some. About 1 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and vinegar. Stir again, lower heat to just a simmer for 1-2 minutes. Pour this mixture over the sliced red onions. 

4) Once done mix all ingredients together and Mangia! Mangia! Mangia!

Hopefully you have enough for leftovers, but it's unlikely.

Tea on the Mediterranean Salad

Last night I wanted to use as much as our farm box as possible and had a no idea what to make. It's always a "hold your breath moment" when you're just throwing things together to see if it works. This one was so good I need to memorialize it so that we can make it again. Tea on the Mediterranean Salad
Zucchini
Cous Cous (I use Israeli Cous Cous from TJ's)
Tomatoes
Feta
Mint/Basil 
Kalamata Olives
Roobis tea leaves
Sofrito (also from TJ's) 
Green Onions 
Olive oil

Ok now onto the details.
Cook the cous cous and let cool to room temperature
Cook the zucchini in olive oil with Roobis tea leaves & Sofrito to taste until al dente.
Chop tomatoes, kalamata olives and green onions. 
Add all ingredients to cooled cous cous, drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on feta and mint/basil.

I gave no measurements because that's how cool this salad is...to each their own on ratios. But trust me...it is the perfect summer salad.
