| Wild Salmon Tartare |

| Mediterranean Salad |

| Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Parsley Dressing |
This
weekend was supposed to be filled with fun and revelry with friends as we tried
to clasp on to the bittersweet end of summer on Fire Island, but alas the
gargantuous amount of schoolwork bound me down to my desk. To lighten up my
mood, I called on my "good friend" The Barefoot Contessa, to shake me
out of my disappointment. I was feeling a little fried, so I simply followed
her guidance and created 3 light and healthful dishes that put me back on
track.
All of
these dishes appear in Barefoot’s book How Easy Is That? and, true to her
words, everything was extremely simple, unfussy, and tasted great. The only
addition I would make is to prepare some garlicky, cumin accented whole wheat
pita chips to go with the Mediterranean salad.
The salmon tartar gained a lovely tang from two types of
mustards, capers, lime juice, and dill, the Mediterranean salad offered a
cooling crunch, and the garlic roasted cauliflower got an upgrade with the
addition of a lemony parsley dressing to finish.
To my buds frolicking on FI, have a great time…I’ll be
immersed in leftovers, study guides, and an itching feeling for sand in my toes.
we missed you mirms! but reading this, all i can think is, who needs sand when you can have that tasty looking salmon tartare?
