Have you ever tried sliced plums in a salad? The arugula and lettuce greens go surprisingly well with the fruit. Here’s a fresh summer meal I’ve enjoyed these last few evenings:
- Vegan chicken tenders
- Trader Joe’s Incredisauce (“great with nuggies!”) and Peri Peri hot sauce
- Salad: baby greens, balsamic vinaigrette, seeds, 1-2 sliced ripe red plums
- Optional: Any leftover sides, like elote corn kernels or carrots & hummus
One day I discovered Blanqui (the white hen) eating a fallen plum. I looked up and realized the tree straddling the fence line was laden with ripe plums! This discovery inspired this meal. It also feels appropriate, not ironic, that I enjoy the tenders as a loving tender of happy chickens.
