Rosemary Roasted Potato, Mushroom and Lentil Kale Salad
I like to tuck into a warm hearty dinner salad in the winter and this salad fits the bill. Rosemary roasted potatoes, green lentils, walnuts and portobello mushrooms makes this a hearty and satisfying salad.

Cathy made a delicious Vegetable Shepard’s Pie, a recipe she found in Bon Appetit Magazine, and Chris brought a Creamy Vegetable Soup and beautiful Apple Rose Pastries for dessert.

It is really fresh tasting and is good either in a wrap, served on greens, or on some whole grain bread with some romaine leaves. If you want to add a “from the sea” flavor, add some dulse flakes. If you live in Aspen, you can get them in the spice section…
