by 0 comments

As shared by Megan Shanley of Shanley Farms

Life for those living in Morro Bay on the Central Coast of California is a little chillier than one might expect.

Red, White and Blue Salad, plus more endive salad ideas

by 0 comments

With a great crunch and subtle bitterness, endive is perfect for refreshing salads year-round. It lends well to most salad ingredients: flavorful dressings, toasted nuts, assertive cheeses like Pt. Reyes Original Blue or Stilton, and proteins like grilled steak or seared Ahi tuna. We also love the sweet & savory sensation from adding a fruit that’s in season, such as Bartlett pears, apples, Satsuma mandarins, pink grapefruit, heirloom tomatoes or creamy California avocados.

The recipe for this delightful Red, White & ..read more
