The CSA season has finally begun and it was so exciting to be at the first pick-up yesterday. I kept hearing folks say things like "I've been waiting for this day for months!" and "its like Christmas, only tastier!" The energy was great, and it was wonderful to meet the farmer at the drop off (now that I'm co-coordinating pick up days) and see the whole day unfold.
I was so excited when I got home that I forgot to take a picture of my share and dove right in to make this salad!
This week's share includes: baby arugula, bunched arugula, spinach, red boston lettuce and radishes - yum!
This salad was a natural start, especially after a long day of teaching and then hanging out at the CSA pick-up all evening. From the share I used some baby arugula, lettuce and radishes. I made sure to soak the greens in cool water to get all of the grit and dirt out, and then they went through the salad spinner. I also added, along with the sliced radishes, some sliced carrots and red onion and one chive blossom form the garden. It was so fresh and delicious!
Stay tuned as I post other recipes from this and the coming weeks shares :)
