Balsamic Vegetables

Balsamic vinaigrette on warm vegetables, what could be more season straddling than that?

Spring is trying its best to establish a foothold here and I’m determined to help it along. Snow is in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow, but by the weekend we should be back in the 50’s. I can feel it, the air’s a little lighter, the elk have gone back up into the high country and the mornings are less bone chilling. In honor of such loveliness, I decided to make a spring/summer vegetable dish with the tiny red tomatoes that were in the market this week.  I know they are out of season and they didn’t taste all that good, but I just needed something to tide me over until the summer vegetables start rolling into the Farmer’s Market.

I think I heard my aspens budding out while I was eating it!  Make summer vegetables with balsamic vinaigrette and help spring along, it’s your civic duty.

Unless you’re an avid skier, then you probably want to make stews and soups for a while…

    The mustard is a surprise ingredient that I must try. More snow for us this week into next. Our waves of spring storms have begun.

    This sounds like summer. I was surprised at the addition of the mustard, but I love Dijon, so will give it a try. I think something like this might be a nice change from Brussels Sprouts with the Easter ham.
