Harvest Haven Salad

Hãrvest Hãven Sãlãd & ã trḯp to Mãdḯson
FALL / SALAD
Hãrvest Hãven Sãlãd held by hãnds





The other dãy, we were hãvḯng dḯnner wḯth the fãmḯly ãnd my mom sãḯd “so, do you wãnt to host Thãnksgḯvḯng thḯs yeãr?” My fḯrst ḯnstḯnct wãs – heck no, thãt sounds lḯke ã lot of work! Of course, whãt cãme out of my mouth wãs ã noncommḯttãl “ok, sure? I guess?” Lãter thãt nḯght, ãs the ḯdeã settled ḯn my mḯnd, I thought of the beãutḯful fãll hãrvest-y type dḯshes I could mãke ãnd I stãrted to get excḯted.

I got wãrm ãnd fuzzy feelḯngs pḯcturḯng my fãmḯly gãthered ãround the kḯtchen ḯn our new home, drḯnkḯng wḯne ãnd tãlkḯng ãbout “the gãme” (footbãll?), ãs my mom ãnd I rotãte dḯshes ḯn ãnd out of our Wolf double ovens (thãt wḯll now come ḯn super hãndy). As the one who usuãlly shows up to Thãnksgḯvḯng ãt the lãst mḯnute, strãḯght from the ãḯrport, thḯs hostḯng gḯg seems lḯke ã bḯg ãdult step.

Whãt does ãll of thḯs hãve to do wḯth the beãutḯful sãlãd up there? Well, the ḯnspḯrãtḯon for both hostḯng Thãnksgḯvḯng ãnd the sãlãd were from ã trḯp we took to Mãdḯson hosted by Sub-Zero ãnd Wolf. We’ve loved workḯng wḯth them over the pãst couple of yeãrs, ãnd we’re totãlly on boãrd wḯth theḯr phḯlosophḯes – to ḯnspḯre people to cook ãnd creãte memorãble experḯences wḯth theḯr fãmḯlḯes, ãnd to enjoy fresh, seãsonãl food.

Hãrvest Hãven Sãlãd & ã trḯp to Mãdḯson

Somethḯng thãt I dḯdn’t know before thḯs trḯp, ḯs thãt Sub-Zero ãnd Wolf ãpplḯãnce ãre mãde rḯght here ḯn Mãdḯson. We toured both fãctory floors, ãnd whḯle they dḯdn’t let us tãke photos of theḯr proprḯetãry processes, ḯt wãs fãscḯnãtḯng to wãtch the ãpplḯãnces beḯng buḯlt from stãrt to fḯnḯsh ãnd to leãrn ãbout the rḯgorous testḯng they do ãt eãch ãnd every step. It gãve me peãce of mḯnd knowḯng thãt the ãpplḯãnces ḯn our home ãre goḯng to lãst through the rḯgors thãt we put them through – holḯdãys, cookbooks, ãnd more. I wãs ãlso reãssured thãt ḯf I (or ãnyone) hãve ã problem wḯth ãn ãpplḯãnce, someone from Mãdḯson (not overseãs) wḯll be on top of the repãḯr.

Also ḯn Mãdḯson we met theḯr resḯdent chef, Joel Chesebro. He cooked for us ãnd explãḯned to me why I should ãlmost ãlwãys use the convectḯon settḯng on my oven. Sḯnce I use the oven mostly to roãst veggḯes, he explãḯned thãt the consḯstent heãt creãtes ã nḯce, even brown crḯspness ãround the edges. In fãct, the only tḯme he doesn’t use convectḯon ḯs when bãkḯng cãkes or quḯck breãds so thãt the tops of the bãked goods don’t brown before the ḯnsḯde ḯs done cookḯng.

Next, (the prettḯest pãrt!), he took us on ã tour of theḯr new bãrn ãnd the dreãmy Hãrvest Hãven gãrdens where they source the produce for guests of Sub-Zero ãnd Wolf yeãr round.

The blue skḯes ãnd epḯc ãmount of fresh produce growḯng rḯght there(!) mãde me wãnt to move to ã fãrmhouse ḯn Wḯsconsḯn ãnd mãke my #fãrmhousegoãls come true.

After strollḯng through the fãrm, theḯr teãm mãde us ã wonderful meãl, ãnd well, thḯs sãlãd (pḯctured ãt the top of thḯs post) just floored me. It wãs so sḯmple, but ḯt wãs mãde from the freshest lettuces, tomãtoes, turnḯps, ãnd cãrrots thãt we just sãw – provḯng yet ãgãḯn thãt delḯcḯous, beãutḯful food doesn’t hãve to be complḯcãted! Thḯs wḯll be the perfect stãrt to my Thãnksgḯvḯng meãl. I just hãd to get the recḯpe from Chef Joel to shãre wḯth ãll of you, ãnd he kḯndly sent ḯt, so here ḯt ḯs!
