This is one of my ultimate go-to recipes for dressing meats, fish, salads, or grilled veggies!  It is the perfect balance of flavors from the farm and olive oil goodness for any topping!  I like to make a 2 cup batch for the fridge each week, so that I have something fresh and delicious to pair with proteins, salads, or even top soups!

 

Recipe makes 2 cups

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 medium sized sweet summer onions, cut in half, charred flat side down in your cast iron pan until deeply caramelized- don’t be afraid of color, color is flavor! These onions should be charred but not cooked all the way through, you want them to still have a rawness to them for crunch, but char for flavor as well!

• 1 bunch farm parsley, roughly chopped

• 1 bunch farm chives, finely chopped

• Zest and juice of 1 lemon

• Zest and juice of 1 orange 

• 1 teaspoon local honey

• 1 teaspoon chile flakes

• 2 cloves raw garlic, chopped very finely

• 2 teaspoon flakey sea salt

• ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

• About 1-1.5 cups of a mild flavored olive oil

 

Method:

 

Finely dice your charred summer onions, combine the rest of your ingredients and pour in your olive oil.  The salsa should be loose, so that you have some “drip” to it and chunkiness!  Feel free to check seasoning and if you think it needs more olive oil, or any of the above, don't be scared, go for it! 

 

Store in air tight container for up to a few days and drizzle it on everything!
