Fresh Greens

Craving something that’s both fresh and satisfying with your dinner? While salads can seem pretty uninspired at times, there are some North Fork menus that offer a little twist to keep healthy eating interesting. Here are a few picks for some fresh local greens…

Try colorful beets with arugula, whipped goat cheese, and candied pistachios for a simple yet tasty starter at American Beech in Riverhead. Wednesday’s Table in Southold has rotating specials, including salads, but their usual menu has great Asian-inspired choices as well. We love the Crouching Tiger, Hidden salad with mixed greens, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, toasted almonds, and puffed rice noodles with tahini soy dressing. The grilled organic carrot salad with labneh, cilantro and chili oil at The Halyard in Greenport is a unique and delicious first course. Craving greens for breakfast? Stop by Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck for two poached eggs over sautéed kale and avocado.
