fabulous fall fennel frumble

another miscellaneous mix that turned out to be delicious.

flavorful fennel is combined with sweet corn, crunchy beets, juicy oranges, and creamy avocado. hempseeds add a nutty flavor; dill and garlic bring it all together.

chop and mix:
fennel bulb
beets
corn, fresh from the cob
oranges
avocado
green onion
dill
minced garlic
hempseeds (if you wish)
marinated fava beans, should you have them

squeeze lemon juice over; garnish with salt and pepper.

slicing and dicing all of these ingredients can take some time - you may as well make a bunch at once. take some for lunch the next day...
...i promise i'll start taking better pictures.

enjoy!

Simple Bean Salad

...serves one.

A few small leaves of rainbow chard
One ear of fresh corn
A handful of cilantro, chopped fine
One half of a baby avocado
Juice of one or two limes, as you like,

...and some of those creamy white cannellini beans.

Cut chard into thin strips. Toss with all else.

Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette Salad

Romaine lettuce (or whatever lettuce, just don't go with something bitter)
few handfuls of raw walnuts, mashed up into little pieces
half a tomato, chopped into small chunks
1 banana, sliced
some onion
some avacado
Ken's Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing
A lot of Sauteed Tempeh (optional, but i like it this way a lot)

Put lettuce in a big bowl or on a big plate first (this salad should cover a dinner plate, and be about 3 inches deep. It should be big enough when done that it is hard to keep it all on the plate. put mashed walnuts on top of salad greens you selected. tomato on top of that, and pile on the rest as you want, with tempeh on top (if you decided to use it).

Should be a pretty big, tasty, and filling salad.
