Green Salad with Strawberries, Avocado, & Mint with Lemon Tahini Dressing

I think it is time for a bit of summer in November. Lets make that happen with one of my salads that is full of summertime flavors and bright colors. Get your hands on some ripe strawberries and avocados (not overripe) and make this salad tonight. It is full of crunchy lettuce, creamy avocados, and the sweet, tart, and savory flavors of strawberries, lemons, and mint. You really can’t go wrong with this and I think you will like the dressing for any old salad.

Shaved Baby Zucchini, Fennel, and Mint Salad

When zucchini and summer squash are small and tender, the best way to use them is in a raw salad where their flavor and tenderness shine. I love this simple shaved salad where crisp texture and sweet flavors of fennel are complemented by the tender texture and slightly bitter flavor of raw zucchini. Add shaved pecorino Romano cheese, ribbons of mint leaves and toss it all with lemon juice, olive oil, and a bit of flakey sea salt you have yourself a real winner of a summer salad. This recipe is adapted from a recipe by Daniel Patterson in the New York Times, I add more fennel and use less pecorino for a crunchier and more earthy salad.
