Peach, Tofu, and Mint Salad

In the heat of summer when the peaches are great this is a nice departure from a caprese salad. We change it from Basil, Tomato and Mozzarella to Mint, Peach and Tofu. Balsamic, olive oil black pepper and flaky salt is the only addition it needs. If you are not comfortable charring the peaches it is great as is, but adding that smoky char to it really makes the dish.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces silken tofu
  • 1 Lemon zest and juice
  • 2 to 3 ripe medium peaches
  • Flaky sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Set up blender and put in silken tofu, lemon zest and juice. Blend until smooth, put in container and put in fridge to keep cool.
  2. Pick your mint and reserve
  3. Put 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a pot and reduce over high heat until ¼ cup remains, about 30 minutes
  4. Cut peaches in quarters. Heat up cast iron pan. Once it starts to smoke ad tablespoon oil and sear peaches. Cook for 90 seconds on a side, until they look burnt.
  5. Spoon tofu mixture onto platter
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on tofu
  7. Place mint on peaches
  8. Drizzle balsamic reduction over everything and flaky sea salt like Maldon or Jacobson
  9. Serve as is

Fire Swamp Provision Focaccia Panzanella

We get amazing bread from Alex at Fire Swamp Provisions, along with incredible Genovese basil, Early Girl tomatoes, and Painted Serpent cucumbers from Full Belly Farms at the Thursday Marin Market during the summer. We use these fresh ingredients to create this salad every Friday. The key to this recipe is sourcing the best bread and vegetables available in your area; with a simple recipe like this, quality ingredients make all the difference. We toast the bread, let the tomatoes and basil marinate the cucumbers, and toss everything together with a vinaigrette just before serving. The varied textures—from crispy to almost soggy bread—add an extra layer of delight to the dish.

Snow Pea, Edamame and Bean Sprout Salad

We serve this salad cold on warm days and at room temperature on normal days. It's filled with crunch from the bean sprouts, sweetness from the snow peas, and heartiness from the edamame. It's simple and can be dressed up with extra ingredients if you have them on hand. Add some mint to pair with the sweetness, bell pepper for a splash of color, or even rice noodles and more dressing to make it an entrée. Try it at its most basic first and have fun from there.

Roasted Summer Squash with Shishito Peppers and Basil

This dish tastes like the beginning of summer. It is a simple dish with few ingredients so getting the best ingredients is important. It also happens to be a great dish served hot out of the skillet while doing well served later at room temperature for a snack. It looks best when you cut the squash in a few different shapes so that you get different textures for people to enjoy.
