Recipe: charred whole romaine with golden citrus vinaigrette
Dressings are only as good as what you drizzle them onto… which is why our team was so pumped to feature Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables in this edition of #SKCookbookClub.
The first cookbook by Abra Berens, she explains simple cooking preparations for every veggie under the sun. Her background as a chef and former farmer has influenced her passion for seasonal eating and cooking with locally sourced ingredients.
We love Berens’ no-fuss preparation of this salad, truly allowing the grilled greens to shine. Her recipe includes a homemade vinaigrette which we swapped out for our Golden Citrus Vinaigrette. Don’t worry, it has the same honey and apple cider vinegar notes she calls for, keeping the flavor in tact, but cutting down on dirty dishes. Win, win!

- Grate the rhubarb on the small tooth side of a box grater and submerge in bath of apple cider vinegar cut with water. Let sit.
