🍊 citrus, radicchio & endive are perfect playmates. tip: shave and soak radicchio in an ice bath. change water 3x. cuts the bitterness. this salad? grapefruit, orange, blood orange, radicchio, avocado & #macadamianuts finished with sherry fennel seed 🍯 honey vinaigrette. sweet, bitter, salty goodness. #mauiprivatechef #janaland #organic #eatyourcolors (at Chef Jana McMahon, Maui Private Chef)

fully aware this isn't the prettiest food post on the planet BUT it might be one of the most simply satisfying delicious snack posts. Mushroom Crisps: thin slice 🍄 mushrooms, using #local @hamakuamushrooms here but #shiitakes work great too. Generously rub with #coconutoil & sea salt. pop into 400F oven for 40 minutes. flip the shrooms after 29 minutes to get both sides brown. You want them crisp and just this side of burnt. WOw! #umami 💣mushrooms are a great source of niacin, zinc, phosphorous & pantothenic acid. #mauiprivatechef #janaland #allergyfree #glutenfree #dairyfree #vegan #healthyfats #guiltfreesnack (at Chef Jana McMahon, Maui Private Chef)

#figs are poppin' on #maui. at least the ones the birdies 🐦don't eat . blue cheese and walnuts are a fig's BFF, especially an herbed slow roasted walnut that brings the boys to the yard. mahalos to @melissabfernandez for the nut game. 🙌🏼 #mauiprivatechef #janaland #local #localicious #pupu (at Chef Jana McMahon, Maui Private Chef)

oh, this salad! so bright, like summer on a plate. sugar snap peas, tomato from my garden, chives, lots of fresh torn mint, shaved Parmesan, bacon and a Meyer lemon 🍋 garlic dressing. the trick to the dressing is blend a whole meyer lemon in 2 cups of olive oil for the base. yes, you read that right...lemon peel guts everything into the Vitamix. use 1/4 cup of the lemon oil with 1 cup OVOO, juice of 1 lemon, 8 cloves of garlic (not a typo) & sea salt. try it and let me know how you use the magic lemon oil. #janaland #mauiprivatechef #maui #organic #localicious (at Chef Jana McMahon, Maui Private Chef)
