It doesn’t really matter what vegetables you roast up for this dish. I went with what looked good at the farmers market and what I thought would look pretty on a plate. I did like the sweet tones of the parsnip, carrots and squash, but it would be easy to incorporate sweet potatoes, beets, swiss chard, broccoli and other seasonal produce. The dressing makes everything sing!

Not only is this a great salsa, but it’s really an awesome side dish as well. The best part is for sure the crunch, so think about adding it to a soft taco.

I might have said goodbye to tomatoes in this recent post, but I snagged a few last fruits from my scraggly plants. I was inspired by the textures of kale and fresh green cabbage at the farmers market, so I tore up a few leaves, tossed in some sliced tomatoes and fresh green beans, and whipped up the tastiest roasted red pepper dressing. This salad was a pleasant summer’s end surprise.

It’s the end of tomato season in New England. I type this while picturing the tomato plants still standing in my garden: The stalks are brown and puckered; the few remaining fruits are speckled and dry looking; they need to be ripped out of their beds. So I nearly pounced on a $2 bag of tiny, multi-colored cherry tomatoes this weekend at the farmers market. They may be the last of the year! Sliced in half with a pile of chopped fresh green beans, and drizzled with gingery shallot vinaigrette — this is how I’m saying so long to my favorite summer snack.

The original recipe called for barley, not quinoa, but I was aiming to use what I already had in the pantry. You could also probably use rice or another available grain.

This dish was a great on-a-whim meal, using what ingredients I had in the fridge. Not a fan of tarragon? Try using rosemary or thyme instead.

Rice wrappers are the best. They make for an incredible base for a simple, almost no-cook, quick meal. But fair warning, they do take a little practice to get perfect (and I do not have a perfect roll just yet).

These green beans are a classic side at the Saniga house. Sometimes we serve it with ham, and sometimes Grandma uses “zesty” seasoned tomatoes instead of the typical canned tomatoes. Have you ever had a green beans and tomatoes dish? How was it different?
