Beet and Mache Salad
Beet and Mache Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette
Adapted from Bouchon by Thomas Keller
I saw this salad in the Bouchon cookbook, and with a love for beets and goat cheese I had to try it. Upon further reading, I’ve learned walnut oil is commonly used with beets. It really changes the flavor of the dressing from other vinaigrettes and works well with the sweet, earthy beets. The fine herbs (chives, chervil, parsley, and tarragon) are also a wonderful flavor booster. It really makes the salad different from the common restaurant salads combining beets and goat cheese.

Pear and Walnut Salad
Pear and Walnut Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
This is a nice simple salad with a lot of flavor from the walnuts and pears. The lemon juice in the vinaigrette helps to prevent the pear from quickly turning brown, while adding a nice acidic bite to complement the sweetness of the pear.

This is great to do on the weekend, and if you are cooking for 2, enlist the other person to help. Pasta is a great example…

Walnut Cabbage Cups
Walnut Cabbage Cups
Adapted from Earth Eats
I heard this recipe on an Earth Eats podcast, a great weekly public radio program based in Indiana, which focuses on healthy, local eating. The recipe is meant to be raw and vegan, but raw didn’t matter to me, so I went ahead and toasted the walnuts. Earth Eats calls the recipe Walnut Tacos, but to me it is more like a lettuce cup, or in this case, cabbage cup. It’s a great meat alternative for a taco, but my cabbage overpowered the flavor of the filling a bit. Maybe I’ll try it in a corn tortilla next time, since I don’t mind my food cooked.
