First, a delicious salad.
That would be spring mix and [roasted] beets from the CSA, blackberries and walnuts from the store, and an impromptu homemade balsamic. (For anyone who likes salad, once you get the ratio of oil-to-vinegar down for a few basic dressing recipes, you can whip up just about anything delicious in a matter of seconds, and you'll never buy bottled dressing again. Time to save your jam jars!)
After this delectable salad, which will turn any beet-hater into a beet-worshiper, we ate a bunch of grilled vegetables. In foil packets, we grilled broccoli, carrots, and garlic scapes sprayed with olive oil; on the upper-rack of the grill, we put four quarters of a head of cabbage. We paired the veggies with some random Russian rice pilaf with *very* roughly translated directions and had a delicious and filling meal.
This was one of those meals that anyone could prepare--it would be next to impossible to ruin, even for the most inept. All it took was cutting and heating. But... YUM!
