Here at Kaicycle its always salad season! A great salad idea is a variety of leafy greens (microgreens, lettuces, other leaves, edible weeds), other veggies (capsicum, radish, cucumber), herbs (fennel, parsley, basil), and some sort of carb to bulk it out (lentils, noodles, rice). This way your salad can be the main dish or an awesome side for sharing!

With the actual salad constructed, you enter the vast world of dressings. There are so many options and something to suit every palate. Below is a recipe we have made for Kaicycle gatherings in the past and it has been a huge hit!

You will need a blender and the following ingredients:

- Sorrel (Garden sorrel NOT wood sorrel, although wood sorrel and its flowers in moderation are a delicious addition to a salad)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste

Optional additions:
- Yoghurt (dairy or non)
- Fresh chilli or some other form of spice

Simply blend everything up until it’s smooth. No need to remove the sorrel stems as they are as tasty as the leaves. The amount of everything is up to you! Keep tasting as you go along and find what’s good for you. If the mixture isn’t blending well add more oil or yoghurt. If the dressing feels too thin you can always bulk it out with other greens; it’s an especially good way to use up less commonly eaten parts of veggies like the leaves of carrots, turnips, radishes, or beetroot.
