Summer CSA Salad with Red Wine Tomato Vinaigrette

Meet my perfect simple summer salad.

You two should be friends.

Summer CSA Salad with Red Wine Tomato Vinaigrette

This salad is certainly no culinary breakthrough, but when it comes to summer produce, sometimes simpler is better. And there is about to be a LOT of summer produce up in here, because this past week’s CSA box was packed to the brim:

Summer CSA Salad with Red Wine Tomato Vinaigrette

I have more lettuce than I know what to do with, along with zucchini, beets, carrots, garlic, green garlic, spring onions, green beans, apricots, and the season’s first corn. Foooooood.

I think the boxes are only going to get more stuffed from here on out. Come August and September, I have no idea how we’re going to eat it all!

For now, I think I’ll try to stuff as much of it as possible into a salad.

Fresh Corn and Jalapeno Griddle Cakes

Memorial Day has passed, and that means it’s (unofficially) summer!

If I had any white pants, I would wear them to celebrate. But I don’t – and the days in Utah that are both a) between Memorial Day and Labor Day and b) cool enough to wear pants are few, if they exist at all – so I’ll settle for eating fresh corn instead. Does that sound like a good plan?

I thought so, too.

Elote (Mexican Corn Dip)

Elote (Mexican Corn Dip)

What better way to start off the week than already looking forward to the long weekend?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been looking forward to Memorial Day for quiiiite some time. Like, January 2nd? My company gives no days off between New Year’s and Memorial Day, and it is a pretty brutal stretch with no break. Then again, I’m currently getting paid to be in Mexico, so I probably have to take that back. But. Memorial Day means summer is here, barbecues are here, long weekends are here. Finally.

Elote (Mexican Corn Dip)

This recipe came to me from my lovely friend and ex-roommate of two years, Martha. She suggested elote, which I had never heard of before, when I was looking for a recipe for anything but guacamole to bring to a barbecue a few weeks ago. I never think that bringing guacamole is a bad idea, I just knew that I would likely be going up against at least three other guacamoles if I did bring it. I just wanted something a little different, you know? Elote was the perfect thing to get me out of my dip rut.
