A lovely green bean salad, not unlike the one we made ages ago

2 cans of green beans

And the real magic is in the jar again:

Put some pickled onions and some of their marinade
some soy
some lemon juice
olive oil
a little sesame oil
some smoked salt
sundried tomatoes
pears
parsley
and smoked tofu

in a jar and allow to sit for a bit if you can. Then just add to to the beans. This is good!

Pickled Pear Winter Salad

We had some pearl like balsamico onions, and I dumped them in a larger jar with slices of pear and smoked tofu, some chilies, a bit of soy and some spices to marinate overnight. Looking good in the morning.

Take that! and
some nice oils
sugar
parsley
as a dressing

and mix with

some lettuce
carrots
some celeriac

throw in a few walnuts and raisins and you are done.

Nice, healthy wintery composition.

Seemingly random salad - a not-so-light avocado, nuts & sprouts salad

lentil sprouts
avocado
some corn lettuce
basil leaves
a tiny bit of pickled celeriac, if you so wish, but it is really totally unnecessary. Call it the random ingredient.

Mixed seeds and pistachios for topping

half a finely chopped shallot
soy
lime juice
salt pepper
olive oil
honey

The Tree and the Rocket - a light basil-orange-rocket salad

"Oh, we have a salad tree!"

Yes, we have the salad tree, and we plug a fresh new salad from it every day. If you are lucky, you can even have a just-ripe one falling into your lap. Only thing is there is not a lot of salad trees around, and thus many people have to make them from scratch, we hear.

So here is the fruit of the day:

rocket
basil (lots)
orange fillets

a finely chopped small shallot
some juice from the oranges
orange marmalade
olive oil
soy sauce
salt, pepper
