CITRUS DRESSING
MAKES 2 CUPS
Bring some sunshine into your wintertime salads when oranges are in season, or in summer over greens and fruits. The orange oils in the outermost zest are where the flavors are concentrated—don’t include the white pith, which is bitter.

Raw Mushroom Salad
RAW MUSHROON SALAD
Makes about 4 cups or 2 servings
Ancient Egyptians considered mushrooms a food for royal palettes—taste this salad and you’ll understand why. Mushroom varieties each offer distinct textures and flavors. My favorite mix for this dish is a combination of crimini and button, but use whatever is fresh and available.

Zucchini Lemon Bisque
ZUCCHINI LEMON BISQUE
Makes about 1 quart
As anybody who’s ever planted zucchini knows—when in season, there’s an abundance. This soup lasts about two days in the fridge, and pairs well with a light salad. Garnish with thinly-sliced fennel bulbs, julienned apple, fresh sprouts, or fresh dill.
