It’s already starting to heat up here in Southern California. When it gets super hot, my appetite kind of crashes along with it. I just want to drink cold water and eat salads. Which I guess is … good?
Anything super green and fresh is always appealing, like this mâche salad, with fresh mint, cold edamame, microgreens and paper-thin watermelon radishes with some sesame seeds thrown in for crunch. I love adding in this buttermilk-ponzu dressing, which adds a little fat and brightness, and is easy to whip up in minutes. There are all kinds of ponzu sauces available, but I love using a super-citrusy variety here, which works well with the richness of the “buttermilk” (vegan sour cream+coconut vinegar+a touch of unsweetened soymilk) and crispness of the greens.
