Sweet, juicy summer watermelon pairs beautifully with the fresh bitter bite of dandelion greens in this recipe.  This simple dish is easy, flavorful, and perfect for warm weather meals.

Watermelon and Dandelion Greens Salad

Ingredients:
2 slices of watermelon (yellow or red), 1 inch thick each
½ bunch dandelion greens
1 small torpedo onion or 2 scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

Dressing Ingredients:
2 limes, juiced
3 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
2 tsp honey
½ tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

  • Take each slice of watermelon and cut it into a circle using a circle cookie cutter.
  • Place dandelion greens in ice water. Soak from 10- 30 min to help reduce some bitterness.  Remove and dry.
  • Finely chop the greens and place them in a medium bowl.
  • Add the onion or scallions and the cheese to the greens.
  • In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients. Mix well and pour over the produce.  Toss to coat.
  • Place the watermelon circle on a plate. Top with half of the dressed dandelion greens.  Repeat for the other watermelon circle.
  • Enjoy!

Fresh basil is such a wonderful addition to our CSA shares.  I wanted to use this fresh aromatic herb to create a flavorful dressing that could be used on salad, but also in a variety of other ways.  This dressing can be used as a sandwich spread, as a topping on baked potatoes, on top of your favorite protein, drizzled on roasted vegetables, or even used to dip bread or raw veggies into.

Creamy Basil Dressing

Ingredients:
1 cup basil leaves, loosely packed
1 large scallion
2 garlic scapes
5 oz plain yogurt
½ tsp lemon zest
2 tsp lemon juice
¾ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey (optional)

  • Place basil leaves, scallion, and garlic scapes in food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.  Scrape sides and pulse again.
  • Add remaining ingredients to food processor. Mix for at least two minutes or until all ingredients are chopped and well combined.
  • Remove and place in glass container.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using.
  • Enjoy!
