Does it count as a salad if there’s no lettuce? I think so. Combine some day old bread with fresh summer veggies, and you’ve got dinner!
Ingredients
  • 1 loaf bread, sliced (will end up with about 7-8 C when it’s chopped)
  • olive oil
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 C summer squash, grated
  • 1 carrot (1 C), grated
  • 1 C green beans, cut into 1″ pieces
  • 2 T red onion (opt.), chopped
  • 1/2 C cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 C tomato, chopped
  • 1 C parmesan cheese, grated
  • Dressing: 1/2 to 1 T fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1 T fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 t chives, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, diced or minced
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 C olive oil (or more – to taste)
Instructions
  1. Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly toasty. Rub each slice with the clove of garlic. Cut into chunks.
  2. Whisk dressing ingredients together. Toss with veggies and cheese.
  3. Right before serving toss veggie mixture with bread. OR place some bread on a plate and top with veggie mixture.

On two baking sheets, roast at 350F for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are crispy outside and tender inside (different types of potatoes may vary the amount of cooking time needed). Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure that both pans are ready around the same time.
  3. Place jalapeño cut side down on a baking sheet. Toss beans with remaining olive oil and 1/4 t salt and sprinkle around jalapeño. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Let beans, potatoes, and jalapeños cool completely in the fridge. Chop jalapeño into small pieces.

Strawberry Jam

Strawberry Jam
Recipe Type: Condiment, Sauce, Stove Top
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:

Made with honey, maple syrup, lemon, and strawberries, this jam is delicious and sweet!
Ingredients
  • 3 pints (heaping 4 C) strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • 1 1/3 C honey
  • 1/3 C maple syrup
  • 1/4 C lemon juice
  • zest from 1 small lemon
Instructions
  1. Put a plate in the freezer. Combine berries, lemon zest, honey, and syrup in a large pot. Mash with a potato masher. Bring to a rapid boil (spoon stirring is unable to stop the bubbling) and boil, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes (or until jam is to desired thickness – to test put a small amount on the chilled plate to cool quickly and check thickness), stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice.
  4. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Ladle into clean half pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Wipe any jam from the lip of the jar and place lid on. Let stand for 15-30 minutes and then place in the refrigerator. Cool completely and then place in the freezer.
