This salad recipe is a restaurant recreation based on a salad that I had at Big Sur Bakery and Restaurant in June. It was awesome! This is definitely one of my favorite recipes of the summer, so far. I looked in the Big Sur Bakery Cookbook and realized that the peach and mache salad was based on the Field Greens Salad with Pecans, Croutons, and Ranch Dressing recipe + garlic in the dressing, peaches in the salad, and Feta cheese but no croutons.

It is an interesting game to play, how many ingredients can be incorporated from my CSA food box into one recipe? Being able to use at least three veggies in a recipe is pretty great, gives you a high … well, almost!

- Summer Squash
- Carrots
- Scallions (Green Onions – if you got them in your box)

I am getting better and better at creatively throwing together the ingredients that I randomly have in my refrigerator with the last of my CSA food box veggies. Sometimes the concoctions are somewhat edible and sometimes there is a tasty recipe that comes out of googling various ingredients in order to compile a worthwhile creation to share! And yes, I am behind on the CSA food box weeks but I am still keeping the week numbers in sequence to make myself feel better. This is a great summer salad and I actually made a Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe from the Big Sur Bakery Cookbook instead of the dressing with this Serious Eats Recipe below. I will list the Meyer Lemon Dressing recipe in the next post. It is a total California recipe and it adds additional uniqueness locally grown goods to this salad.

If you haven’t seen any of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks head to your local library and check one out. They are my all-time most irresistible cookbooks because of the lovely layouts and photographs. In addition to the aesthetic beauty of these books, Oliver’s recipes are based around fresh ingredients and straightforward flavor.
This is a recipe from “Jamie’s Dinners, The Essential Family Cookbook.”

This recipe, Bob Mill’s Wilted Lettuce, came from our Peace, Love, and Barbecue Cookbook by Mike Mills, Amy Mills Tunnicliffe. This is one of our absolute favorite cookbooks and we use it all of the time particularly for summer BBQ’s. So as you can imagine, a BBQ cookbook may have some kind of pork in every recipe, even the salads! Yep, we love bacon! Along with the bacon, you can use any and all lettuce types that you have on hand for this recipe.

Persimmons are a California seasonal fruit and I always like to include them in salads when they are available.
We had this Sunset Magazine salad on Thanksgiving and the dressing was great!

My friend Caroline in France makes this great Thai salad based on a version that she had at a restaurant in Hong Kong. I emailed her recently and asked for the description of the ingredients. From her notes I did some research and tried to put together a version of my own. It would be a great starter for a brunch.
