Kitchen Ideas
- Turnips and carrots both have a nice crunch when eaten raw. Shredding them for a cole-slaw style salad could provide a nice summer side.
- Last week we enjoyed our summer squash in lasagna. This recipe is a good start. Lately I much prefer cottage cheese to ricotta in lasagna.
- If you’re looking for an alternative to vinaigrette for those salad greens, I also like this tahini dressing recipe. Would be great with the cucumbers, as well.
