Garden Pasta Salad with Lemon-Oregano Dressing #InspiredbyNature #Sponsored

By
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of  Charles Viancin.* All opinions are my own.

Here we are on day three of our Summer Equinox Progressive Picnic. Read more about the event and enter the giveaway:  here or below. Today I am sharing two recipes for a salad course - one sweet and one savory. This is the savory course and I found inspiration at one of our weekly farmers' markets.

  

The boys picked golden beets, dandelion leaves, carrots, and summer squash; I was inspired by some organic lemons for an easy summer dressing.


You can read my thoughts about the air-tight lids by Charles Viancin in my Summer Fruits with a Black Currant-Rosemary Drizzle post. They are such a great alternative to using disposable plastic wrap to get your salad from the kitchen to the potluck table.

The Giveaway
The giveaway runs from June 19th and ends on June 26th, 2017
and is open to US residents only. No purchase necessary.

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...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
