Shaved Fennel and Citrus Salad with Crisp Salanova Lettuce
Ingredients
- 2 oranges, skin and white pith removed and sliced thin
- 2 small fennel bulbs, trimmed and shaved paper-thin
- 3 watermelon or red radishes, sliced paper thin
- ⅔ cup loosely chopped fresh dill
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice, plus more if needed
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
- Fine-grain sea salt
- 4 generous handfuls Sweet Crisp Salanova Lettuce (You can substitute frisee or arugula; the taste will be a bit different but still good.)
- Honey, if needed
- ½ cup pine nuts, toasted
- ⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Combine the oranges, fennel, radish and dill in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside and marinate for 20 minutes, or up to an hour. When you are ready to serve the salad, put the Salanova in a large bowl. Add all the oranges, fennel and radish mixture, and pour most of the lemon juice dressing on top of that. Toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust with more of the dressing, olive oil, lemon juice or salt if needed. If you need to balance the tartness of the lemons, drizzle a little bit of honey on the salad at this point. Serve topped with pine nuts and feta.

Grilled Salmon with Pickled Huckleberry Relish
Ingredients
- 1 ½- 2 lb Fillet of Wild Salmon ( skin on)
- olive oil for brushing and salt and pepper
- ½ C apple wood chips ( optional)
- thyme
- lemon zest and juice
Huckleberry Relish
- 1 ½ C fresh huckleberries
- ½ C sugar ( or honey)
- ½ C red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp whole coriander seeds (optional)
- 1 large shallot- finely minced
Serve over a few handful of greens (arugula, baby kale, watercress)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium high. Make a little bowl out of 2-3 layers of foil the size of half a grapefruit. Place apple wood chips inside the foil bowl, and place it directly on the heating grill, close the grill lid.
- Make Relish: Place huckleberries in a medium bowl. Heat sugar ( or honey), vinegar, salt and coriander seeds in a small sauce pan and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add minced shallots and simmer two minutes. Pour over hot liquid over huckleberries, stir and set aside. You can make this ahead and refrigerate over night, or use right away.
- Brush both sides of salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once apple wood chips begin smoking, turn heat down to low, grill salmon, skin side down, directly on the grill, on lowest heat, and sprinkle with zest of one lemon, and one tablespoon thyme leaves. Close lid.
- Check after 5 minutes. Shift salmon to create crosshatch marks on the skin, and close lid again for just a few minutes. Salmon at this point will cook quickly, especially if it’s a thinner piece.
- Once salmon is cooked to medium rare or medium, turn heat off.
- Using two extra large spatulas carefully place salmon on a platter over greens. Squeeze with the juice of half a lemon. Generously spoon the pickled huckleberry relish and a little pickling liquid over the salmon and greens, and scatter with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.

Stuffed Pattypan Squash with Beef and Feta Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 large pattypan squash (4 to 6 inches wide)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces chopped bacon (about 5 slices)
- 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic

- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2/3 cup cooked white rice
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, divided
- 5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/4 cups)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut off top third of each squash, and scoop out pulp, using a serrated corer or melon baller, leaving a 1-inch shell intact. Coarsely chop pulp; reserve 1 cup of chopped pulp, and discard remaining pulp. Place squash bowls in an 11- x 13-inch baking dish, and sprinkle with salt. Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes.
Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add beef to skillet, and cook, stirring to crumble, until starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and reserved 1 cup chopped squash pulp to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in spinach; cover and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer beef mixture to a medium bowl; cool 10 minutes.
Stir eggs, cooked rice, pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the dill into beef mixture. Gently stir in cheese. Spoon mixture into baked squash bowls.
Bake squash in preheated oven until tops begin to brown and squash is tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle squash with remaining 1 tablespoon dill.
