Waldorf Salad with Honey-Yogurt Dressing
One recipe that doesn’t require cooking. It comes to us from Whole Foods again. I love Waldorf salad. Yogurt as dressing is a great switch from mayonnaise.
Pulled Pork with Italian-flavored Greens
Yes, this one is a little complicated, but worth it. The smell of that pork shoulder roasting is an incredibly fragrant way to perfume your house on a cool weekend afternoon.

Pick up the biggest pork shoulder you can find at one of Riverview’s many farmers market booths this week.

Roasted Red Pepper Salad
If you’re going to use your peppers right away you can store them on the counter, but they start to shrivel pretty quickly. For longer storage, put them in your vegetable’s crisper drawer stored in a paper bag.
Anchovy optional here, but hope you’ll give it a try.
