Fresh: Nourishing Salads For All Seasons, a great new cookbook (GIVEAWAY)
Today I am happy to introduce you to a wonderful new cookbook put out by my friend Kimi. Since before I started this blog I have been reading hers and enjoying the plethora of yummy, nourishing recipes she has in her recipe index.
And now she has finally written a cookbook! The book is entirely focused on salads – one of our favorites – and the recipes are diverse enough for every season and every meal.
I used to think that summer was the season of salads because of the heat. Now that I have been dabbling in home and locally grown foods I realize that spring and fall are the seasons for lettuce and other delicate leafy greens. So now is the perfect time to thumb through this lovely book full of delicious, nutrient-dense recipes.

One thing I really love about this book is the simplicity of the ingredients used to create salad dressings and the salads themselves. Most of the recipes are grain-free and the focus is on fresh produce and nourishing proteins and fats.
Kimi uses raw apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and good quality in almost all of her dressings. So you’ll find nutrient-dense versions of everything from (my favorite) Caesar Salad to a lightly sweet poppy seed dressing.
As I look forward to a much larger growing space next year, Lord willing, I am glad to find recipes involving all sorts of fresh produce from every season to incorporate into delicious meals.

We like greens with apples, feta cheese, craisins, nuts, and vinagrette!
i love spinach the most & than it becomes a dumping game on top of whatever I have on hand: cheese, bacon, tomatoes, oranges, blueberries or any fruit really, nuts, sunflower seeds, the list goes on & is different every time!
I’m in a salad rut – I need this book! lol! I try to eat raw greens every day and the cooler weather makes them sound uninteresting. So does Egg Salad count? 🙂 I do eat it on a bed of greens. 🙂
The last salad I made was a cucumber, tomato, and basil salad using ingredients from my garden.
We’ve been enjoying tomato salads. I bought a lovely lemon infused olive oil at the farmers market that gives a bright citrus flavor to the tomato.
Well, I’m sure it’s not healthy, but for fall I love a salad my mom makes with romaine, Granny Smith apples, toasted pecans and craisins. With a little dab of ranch it’s delicious!
