Had a quartet of salads last night with my focaccia and a sundried tomato, walnut and blue cheese bread. The salads were potato, roasted chicken w/ romaine and veggies w/ aged manchego, red cabbage sauteed in duck fat w/ red wine vinegar, walnuts, bacon and goat cheese, and heirloom tomatoes w/ fresh mozz and basil. No pictures of dessert, ate it too fast, but was homemade huckleberry ice cream sandwiches w/ chocolate meringue cookies. Edited to try to get picture to display... hopefully

I made the Salmorejo for a dinner for 12 last week and got rave reviews. No one could believe it was vegan, it was so creamy. I garnished it with roasted corn, crab and avocado creme fraiche (blowing the vegan part) and fried a strip of corn tortilla for crunch. Was so simple to make, and great to be able to do it the day before, quite the treat. Looking forward to trying all the other suggestions posted here! This is my first post - been enjoying all the knowledge and enthusiasm!
