Holiday 2022
As the days grow shorter and the calendar year comes to a close, plans for
family celebrations begin to materialize. For many of us, it's been months, even
years, since we have gathered with family and friends to celebrate the holidays.
This year more of us are doing so with purpose and intention. We all realize how
precious time can be.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT
SQUASH SALAD
Serves 4.
Use just about any sturdy salad green for this recipe
— kale, spinach, arugula or romaine — alone or
combined. You may end up with more dressing than
you need, but it will keep refrigerated in a covered
jar for about a week.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 1/2 lb. butternut squash, seeded, peeled
(if desired) and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
• Pinch kosher salt
• A few grinds black pepper
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 2 tsp. chopped rosemary
• 1 good-sized bunch, about 1/2 lb., dinosaur kale,
spinach, arugula, romaine or a combination
of greens
• 1/2 c. chopped red onion
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• 1/4 c. pepitas
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash into a large
bowl and toss with a little of the oil (about a tablespoon)
to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread out on a
baking sheet and roast until the edges are crisped and
the squash is tender, about 20-25 minutes, shaking
the pan occasionally and turning pieces with a spatula
so they crisp on all sides. Remove from the oven and
set aside.
While squash is roasting, make the vinaigrette.
Combine the lemon zest and juice, shallot, rosemary
and remaining oil in a jar with a lid and shake until
well combined.
Turn the greens into a salad bowl along with the
squash and red onion and drizzle in just enough of
the dressing to lightly coat. Season to taste with more
salt and pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss
pepitas into salad before serving.

Summer Berries & Duck Breast Salad
4 guests
Arugula 1 cup washed
Duck breast Moulard 1 (12 to 15 oz)
Raspberries ½ cup
Blackberries ½ cup
Fresh goat cheese ½ cup at room temperature
Pan Brioche (from Bakers Field)) ½ cup of really small diced croutons
Honey 2 Tbsp
Lemon Juice 1 Tbsp
Grape seed oil ½ cup
Dijon mustard ½ Tbsp
Hazelnut ¼ cup
Fine sea salt to taste
Black pepper in a grinder to taste
Mise en Place
Pull the cheese out of the fridge. Mix the lemon juice with honey, divide in half. Toast the brioche dice
in the oven until golden and crispy. Cut the blackberries in half and split the raspberries by hand.
Duck
Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Score the duck breast and season with salt and pepper. Place the duck
on the dry pan on the fat side and heat to medium. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes to render the fat,
while making sure the fat does not get too dark. Lower heat, if necessary. Flip the breast and cook for 4
minutes. Once cooked, put the duck breast aside and brush the fat side with half the honey lemon
mixture.
Dressing
Place mustard in a mixing bowl, whisk in 3Tbsps of the honey/lemon mix. Season with a ½ tsp of fine
sea salt and 1/8 tsp of freshly ground black pepper. Mix well, then slowly whisk in the grape seed
oil. If the vinaigrette separates, it is still usable, just whisk again.
Salad
Spread the arugula across the top of each plate, sprinkle goat cheese pieces, the berries and the
hazelnuts.
Thinly slice the duck and place 5 slices on each salad. The duck should be lukewarm. Drizzle the
vinaigrette evenly on each salad. Sprinkle with the croutons.
Pro Tip
I like to use plates for salad instead of bowls. The reason is that the heavy ingredients fall to the
bottom of the bowl and the salad does not look as nice. Also, when you eat a salad from a plate, you
get more of a mix of ingredient for a more enjoyable experience.
