Suzi Sheffield’s Quinoa and Baby Butterbean Salad

Suzi Sheffield’s Quinoa and Baby Butterbean Salad
Serves 8
This cool, refreshing salad is perfect for summer — with fresh butterbeans and lots of herbs. Beautiful Briny Sea’s Suzi Sheffield developed it to use with her French Picnic salt, which contains thyme, lavender, garlic, pink peppercorn. But you may use any salt of choice. The addition of a roasted Meyer lemon adds a nice gentle zing.

Surf and Turf Kebabs

Surf and Turf Kebabs
Serves 6
When skewering kebabs, the best approach is to skewer beef and seafood separately because they cook at different rates. The sauce was inspired by a classic bernaise sauce, made with butter and plenty of fresh tarragon, which has a lovely anise flavor.
