Autumn Harvest Fall Salads
When deciding upon what type of
salad to make, it's best to use pro­
duce that is as fresh and seasonal
as possible. Whether your ingredi­
ents are picked from your garden
or bought from the market, foods
that are harvested closest to home
will offer the best value for your money, palate and health. A few
seasonal salad ingredients to look fo r this time o f year include fruits
such as apples, pears, cranberries and grapes, and vegetables such as
fennel, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.
F ood
Fennel
Fennel is available from fall through spring and
adds a hint of fresh sweet licorice flavor to any
salad. This aromatic plant is pale green with a celery­
like stem and feathery foliage. Its root base and
stems can be treated like a vegetable and baked,
braised, or sliced and eaten raw in salads. The
greenery can be used as a garnish or snipped like dill to enhance many
recipes. Fennel’s licorice-like flavor is sweeter and more delicate than
anise and, when cooked, becomes even lighter and softer than in its raw
state.
Cauliflower and Broccoli
These vegetables are available year-
round, but especially plentiful in the
spring and late fall. W'hen buying cauli­
flower, select one that is white or creamy
w hite in color, firm and heavy. C auli­
flow er may be stored for up to one week

from browning, sprinkle them with lemon juice and place them in a water
bath—or serve them immediately after slicing.

Cranberries
Fresh cranberries often seem to get forgotten, due to
their tart character. Try using fresh cranberries not
just in homemade sauces and pies, but also as beau­
tiful salad garnishes. Dried cranberries add sweet­
ness and a chewy texture to salads.
Ingredients for life
Grapes
Grapes are harvested when sweet and ripe, so look for
plump clusters that are firmly attached to green stems.
Once at home, refrigerate grapes until ready to use,
and then rinse with cold water, halve them, and toss
them in your favorite salad.
