My thoughts:

Our fig trees are doing thence skillful this year! It's been a wet, hot summertime only apparently, that is what all of the fruit trees inwards our yard love. They are all truly producing! We select hundreds of beach plums, dozens of pawpaws every bit good every bit a huge amount of figs. This twelvemonth is the get-go twelvemonth we've been able to harvest anything from our "Little Miss Figgy" tree, which is smaller than the average fig tree, every bit good every bit the figs are great! Very flavorful every bit good every bit they select peachy stems which makes it ho-hum to option them off the tree without damaging the fruit. a major improver when yous lot wishing to serve them raw.

Delicata trounce is 1 of my favorites. It's inwards flavour this 4th dimension of year. Many people hateful value it's a wintertime trounce like butternut only it is truly summertime trounce like zucchini that is consumed when it matures inwards the belatedly summertime or early fall. You tin sack eat the pare which makes it a breeze to prepare. I detest having to peel the bumpy skins off wintertime squash! It makes meals amongst it much faster. I pulled this together for a quick luncheon every bit good every bit it took lone unopen half an hour, including cooling the cooked squash. Initially, I had sentiment to add together together nuts to the salad only every bit good every bit together with then I thought--why not role the seeds? It's overnice not to select them learn to waste materials materials every bit good every bit the trounce cooks thence quickly, yous lot tin sack toast them on the same pan every flake the squash.

The flavors are perfect for belatedly summer. The fresh sweetness of the figs, the peppery watercress, the creamy cheese, salty prosciutto,  floral fennel pollen, crunchy seeds, every bit good every bit the earthy trounce striking all of my flavors every bit good every bit textures inwards a salad. I didn't sense the withdraw to build a formal dressing, at that topographic hollo for is plenty unsmooth left clinging to the trounce every bit good every bit seeds that solely a quick splash of vinegar was enough.
