Summer Salad Trio

Word has it that the rest of the country has topped 80 degrees while here in the Northwest we are still hoping for more than one day of sun and warmth.  I don’t long for sweltering temperatures but a bit more sun would be welcome. With all the fresh vegetables available at famers’ markets, it’s easy to assemble salads that highlight summer’s abundance. The three salads below go together quickly and make good additions to any potluck. They also qualify as a meal by themselves. Just add some crusty bread and a cool drink.  The exertion is minimal and no extra heat is required in the process!

Carrot, Radicchio & Ham Salad

Somewhere years ago I read that the way to a balanced diet was to make a rainbow out of your plate. What a concept! I’d always been suspicious of the college dining hall meals  that started with (white) coleslaw and went to chicken (white meat), mashed potatoes (white), cauliflower (white), bread (white), and milk (white) and ended with ice cream (vanilla of course!).  It may have worked for Rauschenberg, but was dispiriting on a snowy (of course) Vermont winter day. This Carrot, Radicchio & Ham salad is not only simple and delicious, but glorious for its blending of colors. Ingredients 4-5 carrots, peeled and grated One small head of radicchio, shredded as for slaw Low-fat turkey ham cut into bite-sized pieces Generous handful of dried cherries Tart vinaigrette dressing (home made or a good...
