And I can’t stop ordering it, even though restaurant versions pale by comparison to what you can make in your own kitchen. Restaurants invariably hold back on the herbs, perhaps to control cost or to appeal to the less adventurous diner. This is a mistake, because this dressing is supposed to be all about the herbs and bold rather than timid.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/the-green-goddess-dressing/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Red &amp; Orange Bell Pepper Salad with Mint, Parsley &amp; Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette</title><link>http://thelunacafe.com/red-orange-bell-pepper-salad-with-mint-parsley-lemon-garlic-vinaigrette/</link> <comments>http://thelunacafe.com/red-orange-bell-pepper-salad-with-mint-parsley-lemon-garlic-vinaigrette/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Sep 2011 02:56:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Susan S.

It’s as if my body, as well as my mind, knows that fresh local produce will soon be a fading memory. I find myself at the farmers markets overloading my trusty, ever ready Metro Kart with bell peppers, celery, sweet onions, corn, lettuce, fennel, chiles, and tomatoes. Plus whatever else looks amazing that day.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/red-orange-bell-pepper-salad-with-mint-parsley-lemon-garlic-vinaigrette/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Summer Tomato, Sweet Onion &amp; Blackberry Salad with Basil Mint Crema</title><link>http://thelunacafe.com/summer-tomato-sweet-onion-blackberry-salad-with-basil-mint-crema/</link> <comments>http://thelunacafe.com/summer-tomato-sweet-onion-blackberry-salad-with-basil-mint-crema/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Aug 2011 04:39:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Susan S.

In mid-August, the market is full to bursting and the choices are almost overwhelming.A huge variety of sweet and chile peppers overflow baskets onto large bunches of just picked basil and mint. Plump sweet onions nestle next to mountains of green and purple beans. Tomatoes are either as small as a marble or as large as your fist and range in color from green, to yellow, to orange, to red. Blackberries, yellow raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries all vie for attention.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/summer-tomato-sweet-onion-blackberry-salad-with-basil-mint-crema/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Sweet Cherry &amp; Pea Vine Salad with Basil &amp; Mint</title><link>http://thelunacafe.com/sweet-cherry-pea-vine-salad-with-basil-mint/</link> <comments>http://thelunacafe.com/sweet-cherry-pea-vine-salad-with-basil-mint/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:21:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Susan S.

I let the season’s bounty and the culinary muses set the agenda. The muses, aroused by my atypical lack of planning, whispered sweet nothings in my ear: “cherries, cherries, cherries.”Luckily, several growers’ tables were piled high with sweet cherries (Bings, Rainiers, and Chelans) and one grower had oh-so-hard-to-find Montmorency pie cherries as well. But at $10 a pound, I will plan what to make with these, perhaps next week. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/sweet-cherry-pea-vine-salad-with-basil-mint/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
