Braising Greens in Strawberry-Honey Vinaigrette #LocavoreFeast #Sponsored

This is a sponsored post written by me in conjunction with a Locavore Feast I hosted.

Some ingredients were provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links.

No dinner party is complete without a few fresh salads, I say. And for a recent Locavore Feast, I wanted to use the wildflower honey from Carmel Honey Company in a hearty salad with greens from Serendipity Farms.* Ever grateful that two of my favorite purveyors donated to this fundraising dinner.

Ingredients

Strawberry Vinaigrette

1 C strawberries, stemmed and quartered
1 T honey
5 T red wine vinegar
1/3 C olive oil
1 t salt
1/4 t black pepper

Salad

greens, thinly sliced (I used the Braising Greens Mix from Serendipity that included kale and chard. Feel free to use less hearty greens if you wish)
fresh strawberries for garnish
freshly ground salt, as needed
freshly ground pepper, as needed
crumbled cheese, optional (I forgot to add this. Whoops!)

Procedure

Combine the strawberries, honey, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

Place braising greens in a large mixing bowl and dress as desired. Toss to coat completely and turn onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh strawberries and top with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately. The dressing will store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just whisk it before using if it has separated.

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a Crni Rižoto (black risotto) on its menu. Crni Rižoto is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
