Take advantage of summer’s bounty by learning how to make three versatile salads with variations that will carry you through the fall. Learn to make a family-style salad layered with beautiful color, texture and flavors, but practical enough to be a meal for two- or even one. The second salad focuses on Shawnie’s salad mantra: “grains, greens, and beans” – a filling, healthy concept offering endless combinations. Class ends on a sweeter note, with a fruity, California-inspired dish. Drawing inspiration from farmer’s markets, seasonal ingredients, and healthy eating, you’ll leave armed with the ability to create a variety of salads as a meal. The slideshow and discussion explores Columbus farmer’s markets and farms, suggests food blogs and online resources, and shares Shawnie’s experiences reviewing and recipe testing for a few major cookbooks, including Salad as a Meal.
