June Salads

In my kitchen in June: salads are welcome in the warm and sometimes hot weather. We prepare them in the kitchen, and often eat them on the back patio. Happily, we’ve had a few guests to share food with.

Local strawberries and California apricots in fruit salad.

 
Mixed green salad with Len’s 
Fougasse — a ladder-shaped olive bread.

Classic egg salad.

Pasta salad with sorrel from Carol’s garden.


Cannellini bean salad.


Spinach salad with the lentil salad.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese with cabbage salad.


Whitefish salad with vegetables — two platters for a crowd!


 


Broccoli and roasted red pepper salad.

Thoughts on the state of the world in June, 2022: There’s too much bad news to think about as I wrote earlier this week here. The power-drunk US Supreme Court, the martyrdom of the Ukrainians, catastrophic fires and floods linked to global warming, hunger in many places with too many causes, continued epidemics — overpowering. So I’ve summarized my month of salads and I’m leaving it at that … sharing with Sherry’s “In My Kitchen.”

Tempting! The fruit salads and the mixed green salad look especially appealing to me today.

A salad-parade sure is a good way to for once ignore all the stupid, bad, ugly things in the world.

Summer is certainly the season for salads. I think I might make Salade Niçoise this evening, always a favourite with us.

Soups are my go-to winter meals and salads are my go-to summer meals. Now I feel inspired to make my cousin's pasta salad next week.

Mae,
I love looking at the variety of salads you shared. It is summer and nothing better than light uncooked food such as salads. I don't find sorrel very often and I do love it. Sounds delicious with the pasta.
