Radicchio Salad with Romaine Lettuce and Cranberry Orange Dressing
A very cool Thanksgiving salad – easy to make with an interesting sweet and sour flavor. You can add some cooked grains to make it a heartier side dish.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Roast the walnuts on a baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes, until they turn lightly brown. Remove and break into small bits.
2. To make the dressing, combine the orange juice, cranberries, and dates in a blender, and blend until smooth.
3. Pour the dressing into a shallow pan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid thickens a bit and reduces by about a third. Add the cayenne, and season with salt to taste. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large bowl, combine the romaine, radicchio, pomegranate seeds, and parsley. Toss with some of the dressing (taste first; you may not want to use all of it).
5. Sprinkle with walnuts right before serving.
Market News
Hello!
THIS WEEK we will be delivering on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 25th, same time (4 – 6pm), same place (Trinity Church).
Have a local Thanksgiving! We’ve got everything you’ll need!
We have a wonderful selection of fresh veggies this week. Lots of salad options, from fresh, light lettuces to hearty chicories that enjoy some heavier dressings and can be made up ahead of time. Also, a nice selection of winter squashes, sweet potatoes of course, and beets and carrots that go well with everything! And don’t forget those greens for the day after.
There are lots of meat options up for when you are tired of turkey. If you still want a small bit of turkey but not a whole bird, Wedge Oak had some half-turkeys still available. Bear Creek has a large selection of pork products up.
You still have time to order Dozen Bakery’s Thanksgiving pies or a cheese plate from The Bloomy Rind. Both will be delivered on Tuesday November 25th.
The Bloomy Rind also has other cheese, jams, and caramel sauce listed, which make great hostess gifts!
Twin Forks Farm bread is off this week, but will return next week.
This is a time of reflection upon the bounty this beautiful Earth bestows upon us, and we are so thankful for all the good food and people growing good food that this land offers us. We are also thankful for you all, our generous community of customers. We really appreciate your commitment to and enthusiasm for local food and the local farmers who do the work. It is truly a cooperative effort, as we couldn’t make it happen without your support.
May you have a wonderful week, surrounded by friends and family, with much laughter, joy, and relaxation!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
