A Perfect Summer Salad

Morning friends,

I am going to be nuzzling up to this perfect summer salad this weekend, nothing fancy but totally riffable. The NYT's Sheela Prakash offers up the delightful Hot Smoked Salmon Salad in today's paper. (Yes, I said "paper" I was born before Adam and Eve ate that damn apple.)

Though it calls for smoked salmon, why not just haul some regular ole salmon out of the freezer and grill it. Or shred a rotisserie chicken, or marinate some tofu. Use this week's cukes, last week's herbs and any combo of the motely crew lurking in your fridge. Presto chango - you have a few quick meals on your hands.

Make an extra few servings to get you through lunch, add some feta mid week, maybe a hard boiled eggs to keep your lunchtime self guessing. We're all easy like that.

For extra points, make sure you eat it outside - soak in some sun and send zero emails. You deserve to live the life your dog lives, even just for a moment.

Much love,

Erin + Joe

Recipes

Sautéed Shishito Peppers - We've got sea bass and shishitos in shares this week and honestly, this might be the easiest "impressive" dinner you'll make all summer. Pan-sear the fish with a little salt, pepper, hot pan, don't touch it till it's ready to become unmoored from your skillet, then blister the shishitos in the same pan while it's still hot. Squeeze some lime over everything and call it a night.

Penne with Sausage and Greens - This is the kind of dinner that tastes like you tried way harder than you did. Sausage, garlic, a little heat, collards wilted right down into the pasta water. One pan, one pot, done before you've finished your first cocktail.

Roasted Heirloom Tomato Mozzarella Gnocchi Skillet - Near zero effort. Volumes of satisfaction.
