CHEF ILONA: Summery Salads!

Breathe in the warm sea salt-scented air, imagine the robust fragrances of fruity olive oil, sun drenched herbs, citrus and fruits. These simple ingredients, made perfect simply from the Mediterranean climate, makes for welcome accompaniments to your backyard meals.

As we slowly begin to come together once again this summer, it’ll be important to spend as much time with the people we adore as possible. The salads of the Mediterranean are simple to prepare and are versatile to pair well with a myriad of eats coming off of the grill.

Feta and watermelon work well as the salinity of the feta cuts into the juicy sweetness of the watermelon. This is one of my favourite summer salads. During the hottest weeks of the summer, I almost exclusively eat watermelon. Sometimes, I like to squeeze a little bit of fresh lime juice and a sprinkling of sea salt over a bowl of cubed watermelon; it is one of the easiest salads you can make with such a rewarding flavour payoff. 

For the uninitiated into the cuisine of the Mediterranean, lentils are a popular staple that is utilized in various preparations. Lentils are a legume boasting high levels of iron, polyphenols, magnesium and folic acid.

While the nutritional boons of lentils are inviting, lentils are also very affordable, especially when you purchase them dried. This lentil salad is best made the day before you plan to eat; let those flavours intertwine for ultimate gastronomic pleasure. I especially love pairing this salad with grilled seafood like salmon, halibut or any shellfish, but shrimp would be my top pick.

Feta & Watermelon Salad Created by: Chef Ilona Daniel

Serves 4

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1/2 cup black oil cured olives, pitted and chopped

4 cups of watermelon sliced thinly

1 bunch of mint, chiffonade

1 Boston bib lettuce, roughly torn

2 green onions, sliced thinly

Juice of a lime

Salt & pepper to taste

Additional 1/4 cup olive oil

Marinate the feta with the basil oil and chopped basil for an hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Toss the lettuce, watermelon, mint, green onions, lime juice, olive oil, and olives gently, and scatter across a platter. Place cheese atop of salad and serve immediately

Greek Lentil Salad Created by: Chef Ilona Daniel

400g brown lentils, picked and rinsed (14 oz.)

1 bay leaf

2-3 peppers (red, orange, yellow), roasted and sliced

250g feta cheese, crumbled (9 oz.)

10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half or 1 juicy tomato, cut in cubes

1 red onion, chopped

a handful fresh parsley (or dill), chopped

a handful fresh mint, chopped

10 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

salt and freshly ground pepper

For the dressing

6 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

6 tbsps red wine vinegar

1 clove of garlic, minced

Pinch of sweet paprika

To prepare this Greek-style lentil salad recipe with feta cheese, start by cooking the lentils. Place the lentils in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Drain and place them in a large pot. Cover the lentils with a 5-6 centimetres of cold water, season with salt, add the bay leaf and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes. The lentils should be cooked, but still retain a firm texture.

In the meantime, prepare the vegetables. You could use the peppers raw, cut into little cubes or roasted.

To prepare the dressing, add all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

When the lentils are cooked, drain them in a colander and place under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, place lentils in a large serving bowl and toss with dressing. Add the chopped onion, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, olives and roasted peppers (sliced) and blend. Wait to add the fresh herbs just before serving.

A harmonious gathering of textures and flavors in this healthy, summer salad.  Serve it on a bed of greens topped with diced boiled eggs and a tart, tasty dressing.  This is a favorite at our house!  It’s diabetic friendly, too!

Salad:

1 c. dry lentils

5 c. water

dash salt

1 lg. bell pepper, seeded, diced

2 lg. tomatoes, chopped

1 lg. red onion, sliced super thin, separated into crescents

1 c. celery, diced

Dressing:

5 T. red wine vinegar

2 t. brown mustard

½ t. ground pepper

¼ t. dried oregano

5 T. olive oil

¼ t. garlic powder

bed of greens

4 hard boiled eggs, peeled, diced in egg slicer

In a large covered pot, bring lentils, water and salt to a boil for 5 min. then take from the heat and let sit for an hour until lentils are just tender.  Drain off excess water, run cold water over lentils to cool.   In a small mixing bowl, add vinegar, mustard, ground pepper, oregano, oil, and garlic powder - mix well, set aside.  In a large serving bowl, add lentils, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and celery - toss well.  Arrange lentil salad on a bed of greens.  Garnish with eggs if you like. Pour dressing over all and serve.

When I’m not cooking up more nutritious lentils for the family, I’m sewing cotton canvas wrap around aprons for my online shop -  www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m merrily working upcycled wool strips into warm fluffy throw rugs for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton knickers in out-of-this-world prints all with a front cell pocket.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she knits boho hippie folk art style afghans from upcycled yarns.

French Lentil Salad

Brown, green, red, French - lentils come in all sizes and colors...there's even an annual lentil festival in late August located in the SE corner of Washington state - yummmm.  They have tastings, cooking contests, all sorts of good fun.  Back to lentils, they cook fast which is a boon to my need-to-make-dinner-fast food prep style.  They also are high in potassium, fiber, protein, and folate (a B vitamin).  All those are great features but it's the speed in preparation that attracts me the most as well as the fact that this is great served as a side dish with a slice of pork and melon for a meal or as a take along meal to work or a potluck or where ever life takes you. Salad:

6 c. water

2 c. French green lentils

1 bay leaf

1/2 t. thyme, powdered

dash kosher salt

1 c. radishes, sliced thin

2 c. carrots, sliced thin

2 c. celery, sliced thin

1 c. red onion, sliced thin into crescents Dressing:

1 lg. shallot, diced

1 T. red wine vinegar

1 T. lemon juice

2 T. Spicy Mustard

dash kosher salt

1/2 t. ground black pepper

3 T. oil For the salad, in a large pot add lentils, water, by leaf and thyme.  Bring to a boil then turn to simmer for 15 min. until the lentils are just beginning to be tender. Add radishes, carrots, celery, and red onion to lentils, cover cooking 10 min. approx.until the carrots are tender crisp.  Drain off any excess liquid. Remove bay leaf, discard.  In a separate container, mix all dressing ingredients stirring well.  Pour dressing over lentils, stirring to cover lentil mixture well.  Serve hot or cold as you prefer as she comes or on a bed of greens - either way is delicious.   When I’m not thinking about how to keep my hungry family fed and  happy, I’m sewing cotton pocket canvas aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads , www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .         Or I’m putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats worked by me  from upcycled recycled yarn gleaned from local sources for my other  shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .         My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers in fun, frolicsome prints and colors. My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled yarns into hand knit brightly striped afghans and scarves. My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she designs and crochets upcycled yarns into funky mushroom inspired shoulder bags.
