Winter salad…almost local

Winter salad

My effort to remain local is slowly eroding since there isn’t much left that is local here. But this salad is almost local. It is made with english cucumber, cilantro, ginger, and jalapeno (not local), daikon, carrot, and garlic (local). I used my trusty yet potentially treacherous mandoline to do the chopping and I dressed it with a shake of canola and two shakes of rice vinegar. It was very spicy, refreshing, and tasty…I want more!

    Love the colors! Very springy. It’s very hard to eat local north of Green Bay, trust me.

    While it wouldn’t be local in Wisconson, it would be in Dallas in the summer made with jicama and I think it would be beautiful. I like it.

    Almost local is better then not at all local. I like your style - keep those food miles down.
