BLT Wedge Salad with Charred Corn
Summer calls for an update to my favorite crispy salad!
February already! February 15th even! What is even happening this year, with this timeline.
January was busy and difficult. Our car was hit, while parked (we weren’t in it), so dealing with that has been a daily routine of calling everyone involved to make sure they are doing their jobs. Coming from the hospitality industry, where you’re trained to do things for people *before* they need them, it just blew my mind. But we have our car back, and I am ready for this to be over!
Meanwhile, February is looking very bright. We’re both home most of the time, and then at the end of the month, I’m off to New York for almost a week.
And Oregon has a grand tradition called the February Fakeout — where for about a week or two in February, it’s sunny and warm outside. For a short, sweet time, we think we might get a *very* early spring, and then it always returns to rain before too long. But right now it’s still the warm, sunny part.
After Dave’s heavy travel making his amazing super bowl commercial, we are getting back to our regular routine, and thankfully doing a lot more cooking at home! It’s always a challenge this time of year: basically nothing is in season. Except citrus, and only sort of.
There’s two phases of winter: the phase where you’re excited to ‘gram your pretty cut citrus, and the phase where you’re cursing the existence of it all and ready for some damn strawberries. I’m still hanging on to phase 1, but not for long, I think.
This was a salad I made for lunch for us recently for a fun twist on the citrus salad. I actually adore kumquats, they are so tangy and fun! They’re not absolutely required to make this salad, but if you can find ’em, try ’em!

The summer salad you've been dreaming of.
A crunchy green salad to celebrate the arrival of spring! Serve it with protein if you like, but it's a fresh meal all on its own!
