Dill-Lightful

Poached Salmon with Dill Yogurt Sauce, Mexican Fruit Kabobs and an array of fresh vegetables filled our plates today.  The salmon recipe was inspired by Clean Eating Magazine.  The fruit marinade was inspired by Rachael Ray.

The broccoli was purchased today at the Westover Farmers Market.  I sauteed mushrooms, patty pan squash, garlic scapes and garlic clove in olive oil to serve alongside the seafood.  All vegetables except garlic clove and baby bellas were purchased from local farmers.
