Angel Hair Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is colorful, bright and fresh with a mingling of citrus, floral and woodsy tones. A refreshing alternative to many of the heaver dishes we indulge ourselves with during fall and winter Seasons.

With the addition of kumquats we add a bit of sunshine and citrus. Typically these little guys are enjoyed raw and whole, having a sweet outer peel and tart flesh, they make great snacks. Here in California our Season spans October through January and my itchy organic shopping fingers, just could not resist :)

The Lucques Olives…my personal favorite, have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. And hold up impressively well against the citrus and deep floral/woodsy pallet of our chanterelles.


We have some additional color with these purple snow peas and a toss of edible flowers to give a bit of sunshine to our “sometimes”chillier days.

The chanterelle mushrooms with their beautiful rich and complex flavors are a delight to behold. They are prized as a sought after culinary delight to many with a similar passion of the morel or even the coveted truffle. Although I am using fresh organic chanterelles here, they are another variety of mushroom that does well in their dried state.
