Yogurt Dip with Fresh Tarragon & Chive Blossoms


Hello friends!
I whipped up this dip for tonight's "2nd Suppers at Miss Jolie's" dinner party. This month I wanted to keep it really simple. I started by yesterday going to the East Bank Farmer's Market in SE Portland. I aimed to design tonight's menu around my fresh seasonal purchases. I spent $40 and came home with: garlic chive chevre, 2 bunches baby carrots, 1 florence fennel, 4 leeks, 1 bunch green garlic, 1 bunch spinach, 1 bag of salad mix, 1 bag of basil, 1 bunch beets, 1 bunch raab. Then I added what was fresh from my own garden: lacinato ("dinosaur") kale, tarragon, mauve chives, bronze fennel, and flowers-calendula, violets, marigolds & roses.

The resulting menu
  • Crackers with Chevre & Violets
  • Flower Salad with Baby Greens, Raw Beets & Toasted Pecans
  • Spring Panzanella with Peas, Kale & Spinach
  • Roasted Baby Carrots, Leeks & Fennel with Yogurt Herb Dip
  • Sautee of Raab & Green Garlic with Italian Tofu "Sausage"
  • And to keep it simple, I picked up pre-made dessert from Trader Joe's!
I love this simple to make & beautiful looking dip for it's freshness and many layers of flavor.

In Health,
Miss Jolie Ann
