A garden-fresh summer salad tossed in a creamy herb dressing! Easy to customize with your own favorite veggies or whatever is in season.

Summer Chopped Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing

romaine

cucumber (I use English/hothouse)

orange bell pepper (or carrot)

grape tomatoes

red onion (or green onion

sweet corn

avocado (or 1/2 large)

parsley (thick stems removed)

basil (stems removed)

Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

garlic (minced)

white wine vinegar

salt (more

Tbsp. water to thin (more as needed to desired consistency)

Puree all dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender until smooth (scraping down sides with spatula as needed.)

Add more water if needed, a little at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (More salt, lemon juice, sweetener, etc.)

MAKE THE DRESSING:

Roughly chop romaine and place in a large bowl.

Dice cucumber and bell pepper. Halve/quarter tomatoes. Finely dice red onion. Add to bowl.

Add corn to bowl. Then pour desired amount of dressing over top and toss well to combine. (Alternatively, you can store salad and dressing in separate containers in the fridge until ready to serve.)

PREPARE THE SALAD:

Really nice salad for summertime. I added chickpeas. The dressing was fresh and yummy!

A delicious and healthy soup that uses a variety of fresh vegetables &amp; herbs straight from the garden! Plus easy to customize.

Garden Vegetable Soup

yellow onion

garlic

potato

small/medium carrots (or 1 large)

zucchini

tomatoes

green beans

vegetable broth

herbs (I use basil + parsley)

Tbsp. white miso (to stir in at end)

Prepare vegetables: Dice onion, potato, carrot, zucchini and tomato. Trim and cut green beans into about 1-inch pieces. Carefully cut kernels off corn. Mince garlic.

In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method.)

When onion is translucent, add minced garlic and potato. Stir and sauté 1 minute.

Add broth, carrot, zucchini, tomato, green beans, and corn. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.

Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes (or until potato is tender.)

Meanwhile, roughly chop fresh herbs. Stir in herbs during the last couple minutes of cooking.

Recommended miso addition: On a small bowl, whisk together miso and 1/4 cup warm water to thin and remove clumps. Add to pot right before serving and stir to combine. (If not using miso, simply salt/pepper to taste as desired.)

Delicious! Simple but vibrant; would definitely recommend the miso addition. :)

Made this and it was really tasty. We added mushrooms too since we had some on hand. Thank you!

Fusilli pasta is tossed with garden vegetables and a light vinegar-herb dressing. A great way to enjoy garden veggies in the summertime!

In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onions for about 4 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Add zucchini and yellow squash. Stir and sauté 6-7 minutes.

Meanwhile, mince garlic.

Add chopped tomatoes and garlic to pan. Sauté 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
