Santa Fe Yam & Bean Bowl :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::

Harvest Hero Laura Jauregui posted an enticing veggie laden yam taco photo in the Facebook Harvest Recipe Club. It inspired the easy side dishes & the savory Santa Fe Yam & Bean Bowl recipes we feature this week. This is one of the most beautiful & easy buffets to layout for friends & family. We used both our Summer Squash & Salsa & Easiest Pickled Onions in this layered flavor bowl.

Leftovers can be rolled into enchiladas, quesadillas or simply served w/ warm soft tortillas as a fast and easy taco. Cook up a good half of your harvest early in the week, and spoon out flavor for days to come.

Eating Healthy & Delicious is a Win Win Win Situation!

Easiest Everyday Pickled Onion Hack :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::

Our Harvest Heroes love pickles & onions top the always list for so many folks in our survey. This is the easiest pickle recipe we’ve done so far. They are ready to use immediately w/ a nice bite & crunch & get better in the fridge.

-->

I used our Harvest Citrus Sea Salt in my pickles for added umami. Substitu

te grapefruit, lemons, limes, tangerines, etc. You’ll want at least 1/3 cup of juice per jar to start.

Summer Picnic Salad Classic :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 15 mins

Servings: 4 to 6

We’ve vitalized this summer classic w/ raw kale & fresh orange. Our Harvest version is simple & easy. Spot on flavor, pantry ingredients. Embellish w/ fruit, veggies, fresh & dried herbs, seeds & nuts, Dijon, hot sauce as you wish.

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
1	Medium	Red onion	Pie slice
1-2	Medium	Tomatoes	Pie slice
1	Large	Cucumber	Peeled, seeded, sliced
1-2	Large	Kale leaves	Julienne
1	Medium	Navel orange	Juice & zest

Prep out the vegetables. I love the pie slice for both the onions & tomatoes.

Great texture, mouth feel & presentation. But cut them as you enjoy. Use onions, cucumbers, tomatoes & any other summer picnic vegetables y’all favor.

3	Tablespoons	Evoo
2	Tablespoons	Favorite vinegar	Cider, red wine, champagne, sherry, etc
1	Teaspoon	Sea salt	Flavored blends rule
1-2	Tablespoons	Honey	Agave, sugar, fruit molasses, etc
1	Clove	Garlic	Opt, minced
1/2	Teaspoon	Favorite HOT sauce	Opt
1-2	Tablespoons	Fresh herbs	Opt

In the bowl you’ll serve the salad, combine the dressing ingredients. A little bit of sweetness really sings the flavors of summer. I love the orange juice & zest combined w/ a whisper of honey.

This salad comes together in minutes. Toss and let sit for a bit to allow the juices to flow and macerate. Serve with fresh herb garnishes if you’d like.

This salad is a superb picnic side, but also works as a topping for dogs & along side everything from the BBQ. Have we talked grilled wild caught salmon? Oh yeah!
