The Forest Feast

Happy Delicious Thursday!  I hope you're enjoying fresh produce from your local farmer's market.   Today I want to share with you one of my very favorite recipe books:  The Forest Feast by Erin Gleeson.  I cannot say enough positive things about this gorgeous cookbook.  The recipes are simple, but delicious.  Please take the time to watch the book trailer below:

Please check out Erin's website, too!

This recipe book is now my go-to resource for easy entertaining.  I want to try the dips and dressing ideas in the book, and  I love the recipe for watermelon radish salad. I think watermelon radishes are so pretty! This salad looks pretty on the plate, too.
Here is how I served it:
Watermelon Radish Salad
Ingredients:1 large watermelon radish2 peeled oranges1/2 red onion sliced into very thin rings2 chopped scallionsProcedure:Arrange ingredients on a pretty platter in the order listed above.  Then drizzle on champagne vinaigrette (the vinaigrette recipe is my own).
