Recipe Roundup: Labor Day Edition
Inspired by all the fresh produce available this time of year, Chicago's food bloggers have posted lots of summery salad recipes lately. And what's a Labor Day picnic without at least three or four different salads?
My Vegetable Blog brings us Vegetarian Nicoise Salad, a tuna-free version featuring a traditional tarragon dressing, minus the anchovies.
Joelen of Joelen's Culinary Adventure rounds up a bunch of salad recipes from her foodie friends, including farmers market-friendly Japanese Cucumber Salad; Cantaloupe, Cucumber and Mint Salad; and White Wine Fruit Salad with Strawberries. She also offers wine pairings to make your barbecue or picnic upscale.
For a smaller gathering, this Warm Peach and Prosciutto Salad with Arugula from Have a Bite would be perfect.
Salad this is not, but I couldn't resist this sharing this post from the folks at Kitchn. If we all scream for ice cream, do we all cheer for ice cream and beer?
