Green Vegetable Side Dish for Thanksgiving

[FauxPas]

I made Shelby's green bean/mushroom/onion/blue cheese tart today and it was really quite good. Definitely a fun choice for an appy or side dish and holiday flavour!  

 

 

Edited to add that I used yellow onion instead of shallot and button mushrooms instead of cremini.

Sylvia:   This is 10 buffet portions or  4 dinner portions. 

 

250 gram  fresh crispy kale, sliced in ribbons

1 orange peeled and sliced in  bit sized pieces

1/4  cup good organic raisins.

1 apple cut into bite size piece  or 1 white / silver onion thinly sliced.

1/4 cup  split almonds or  walnuts

 

Mix into large bowl and leave for moment and then toss again, toss before serving,.

 

You can have a dressing, we never did because the juices from the orange used to be enough.

 

Dressing

1 tablespoon of soft runny honey

2 tablespoon of  lemon juice

3 tablespoon of orange juice

3 tablespoon of olive oil or rapeseed oil

 A pinch of salt and pepper.

Shake or whisk until combined and  pour over the salad.

For something different try braised celery. Sauteed garlic, chicken stock: braise until soft. Very tasty.
