Green Goddess Salad with Crunchy Granola

Green Goddess Salad with Crunchy Granola | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Green Goddess Salad with Crunchy Granola is a light and lovely salad with the surprise crunch from seeded granola. Salads are always a little jewel from the Bijouxs Recipe Membership.

GREEN GODDESS

Salads are at the top of my list for meal-makers and starters. I am always keeping my eyes out for new ways with the salad bowl.

This salad is a fresh take on the Green Goddess salad, with a much lighter than usual green dressing. I enjoy the fresh herbs, avocado oil and Dijon mustard that join for the dressing. I used Little Gem lettuce a favorite, along with leaves of red radicchio for color & flavor.

CRUNCHY SEEDED GRANOLA

The surprise here is a crunchy granola topping in lieu of the usual croutons. A simple seeded granola is baked with seeds; pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and rolled oats. Spiced with red chili flakes and honey for a sweet-spicy kick.

Roasted Pear Salad With Arugula, Walnuts & Roquefort

Roasted Pear Salad With Arugula, Walnuts & Roquefort | Bijouxs Little Jewels

 

Cooking the seasons at Bijouxs Little Jewels from the Kitchen with Roasted Pear Salad With Arugula, Walnuts & Roquefort. Tis’ pear season, enjoy with this not-to-miss salad with a little twist on the pears.

PEAR SEASON

Yes, pear season is here and there are a bounty of choices. For this salad I chose Bosc pears, identifiable with the a warm cinnamon brown skin with russeting over the surface of the skin, beautiful. The pears are firm, great for baking, as in this case roasting the pears before adding to the salad.

ROASTED PEARS

Roasting the pears for the salad creates a more complex flavor for the salad. Usually they are added raw but here they are roasted, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, creating a complex flavor for the salad. They roast quickly in about 15 minutes and are ready for the salad. Adding them while still warm creates a salad that is both cool & warm.

ROASTED PEAR SALAD

The other salad ingredients are basic: arugula, walnuts and best of all crumbled Roquefort cheese. For the cheese select real Roquefort from France, check the label. It is a bit more pricey but the flavor is beyond compare.

SORGHUM

The salad’s grain if often a wheat product, but I used Sorghum. It may not be familiar to you, but this grain-free wonder is a stand in for wheat and grain products. You prepare it like many other grains, the easiest way is to use the Instant Pot. You can use cooked sorghum as a stand in for quinoa, rice, or even oats for breakfast. I have used it in this kale salad, it really stands up to the other ingredients.

Gazpacho Millet Bowl

Gazpacho Millet Bowl | Bijouxs Little Jewels

The flavors in the classic Spanish cold soup Gazpacho are inspired in my Gazpacho Millet Bowl-a bowl to love this summer from the Bijouxs Collection Membership Recipe No. 556.

SUMMER SIMPLE

The Summer heat just calls out for the cooling flavors in gazpacho soup an uncooked mixture of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, water, vinegar, onions, cucumbers, and green peppers. Usually thickened with bread crumbs but this recipe uses the seed  millet to create a summer bowl for your table.

GAZPACHO

Gazpacho is cold soup of the Spanish cuisine, especially that of Andalusia. It is an ancient dish mentioned in Greek and Roman literature however the main ingredients of the modern version, tomatoes and green peppers, were brought to Spain from the New World only in the 16th century. Who knew?

GAZPACHO MILLET BOWL

Since Spanish cookbooks do classify gazpacho as a salad, this bowl is a perfect spot-on recipe. Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, along with a tomato flavor-infused millet make up the salad. Adding tomato paste to the millet cooking water amps up the flavor. I enjoy using grain-free products such as Millet and cooking the millet in the microwave is inspired from Alton Brown’s recipe.
