Holly's Apple Fennel Salad

Holly's Apple Fennel Salad
Apples
Fennel
Celery
Celery Root

Any combination of the above ingredients.  I use a mandolin and slice some and shred some, just depending on the day. You could slice it by hand, the only ingredient that I think is best really thin is the fennel.

Lemon Dressing
1/4 C champagne vinegar
2 lemons (zested and juiced)
1 T sugar
1 1/2 C oil (I use closer to 1 C)
salt and pepper to taste (I usually use 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper)

Whisk all ingredients together and toss with salad.  Salad can be tossed ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator.   Stays crunchy and bright for a couple hours.

*Josie requested this for her 8th birthday dinner.
*My favorite is to use honeycrisp apples, but great with granny smiths too.
*This has been passed to me by my amazing sis in law Holly....the real chef in the family.

Frugal Friday: Kitchen Tip/Tutorial - Freezing Fresh Green Beans

Image
I can't believe that summer is almost over! The garden is producing like crazy and in case you missed it, last week I shared a tour of my lovely garden sanctuary . People often ask me what we do with all of the food from our garden because it's a lot more than a family of four can eat when it comes on in full force. I spend a lot of my time this time of year preserving the garden harvest so that we can eat it all year round. Since I'm not a huge fan of canned green beans (and I don't think they are very nutritious), I usually preserve the green beans by freezing them. And they are wonderful. Home frozen green beans are so much better than those you buy from the store because you can pick and freeze them at the peak of their ripeness so they will be tender and yummy when you use them later in the year. Green beans are definitely one of the prized harvests from the garden and today I'm going to share a step by step tutorial on how to freeze them so you can do it easil...

Have you jumped on the kefir bandwagon and discovered all of the amazing things you can use it in? We love these kefir smoothies , and consume them on an almost daily basis, but there's so much more to use  kefir  in! With our garden still producing like crazy, I sliced up some fresh vegetables and whipped up a batch of this yummy kefir veggie dip for my kid's after-school-snack. And yes all of the veggies shown in these pictures are from our garden (except the olives of course).
