• This corn gazpacho really only has 2 steps! Prep the veggies, then blend!
• Slice the corn kernels off the cob (raw, don't cook the corn!). Then take each ear of corn and use the back of your knife so scrape any remaining pulp into a bowl. This helps add an even more creamy texture to the gazpacho. If desired, reserve about 1/3 cup of the kernels for garnish.
• Peel and roughly chop the English cucumber, if using other cucumber, de-seed it. (this helps keep the gazpacho from turning green).
• Peel the shallot and garlic, then de-seed both the yellow bell pepper and jalapeno.
• In a blender combine the corn, cucumber, yellow bell pepper, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, jalapeno, olive oil, lemon juice, sherry vinegar, and salt. Then blend until completely smooth.
• If the gazpacho is too thick, you can blend in a couple tablespoons of water until your desired consistency is reached.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired!
• To let the flavors develop even more, chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Then garnish with the reserved corn kernels, sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, jalapeño and a drizzle of pesto oil and flaky sea salt.

Notes

• This sweet corn gazpacho will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Add pecans to a medium dry skillet set over medium heat. Toast and toss occasionally for 5 minutes or until fragrant and nuts are lightly toasted.

To make the dressing:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients except for the olive oil. In a thin, steady stream, slowly add the olive oil, whisking all the while, until an emulsion starts to form. At this point you can add olive oil in a larger stream until it is completely incorporated.
• To a large bowl, add some of the vinaigrette. Add salad, toss gently, and plate.
• Top salad with pecans, raspberries, and blue cheese.

• For the dressing: Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F. Spread the butternut squash over a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use your hands to coat the squash in oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and a dash of cinnamon if desired.
• Roast butternut squash for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring half-way through, or until squash is golden-brown and cooked through. Once the butternut squash has finished roasting, set it aside to cool to room temperature.
• While squash is roasting, shave all of the the Brussels sprouts - Hold the Brussels sprouts by the stem on a cutting board, and use a sharp knife to carefully chop (or shave) them into thin slices. Discard the hard stems.
• Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large serving bowl, along with the butternut squash, apple, pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Toss in desired amount of dressing until everything is well coated. Taste for flavor and add sea salt to taste.
