Pretty ruffled purple basil!
As the heat turns up and the produce confirms summer’s appearance, I remembered two of our favorite meals (among many!) from this time last year. First is Summer Beef Salad a la my dear friend of more than a decade, Donna. Think cold roast beef, avocados, red onions, tomatoes, steamed then chilled potatoes and an easy mustard dressing. You marinate for a few hours and serve, and its simplicity and flavor are really divine.
Second is a recipe for Corn Pesto that I came across in Bon Appetit. Tom and I really loved it, and then I made it for my cousin Jeff, and he concurred. I’ll make and post the recipes soon (with full attribution, DD!).
Yay! Squash blossoms have finally hit the farmers market! And cute summer squash- I love the pattypan shaped ones, and O and I were pretty smitten with the twin. This past week, I found a very cool ruffled purple-leaf basil plant that is happy in the garden. Tonight’s pizza will love these additions.
