We planted a small garden this year and have really been enjoying the fresh veggies. Here is a salad we made today using fresh greens, onions, and peppers from the garden. The beets came from Whole Foods. I used a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dressing and a dash of Mumbo Jumbo — ELEGANCE seasoning.
Pick…Toss…Enjoy!!!
Mark Bittman wrote an interesting article in the NYTimes on salmon today. Being from the South I’m no salmon expert, but I do know two things: 1) the best salmon I’ve ever had was in Seatle and 2) my Grandmothers make pretty mean croquets! Bittman’s article gives you the true skinny on what we THINK we’re buying and what we’re REALLY buying when it comes to salmon.
Side note: If you want to make real tasty salmon (Atlantic, farm-raised, King, Alaskan, Coho or otherwise) — vigorously dust it with Mumbo Jumbo — MESA, wrap it in aluminum foil with a little olive oil, and throw it on a hot grill for about 12 to 16 minutes. You’ll taste the smokey flavors of the Merken and Spanish paprika in the MESA. I promise no matter what type of salmon you can source from your fishmonger — it will not disappoint.
Shake…Grill…Enjoy!
