I just picked up my First EVER CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box! I rushed it home to unveil the bounty. Thank you, Sam and Liza Janis of East of Eden Farms. You are doing amazing work for the planet and our palates.
A fabulous recipe is included with each week’s box for CSA members! This week, Sam featured his favorite “delicious, vinegary, fresh, nutritious salad dressing recipe.” OMG – WOWWW! This salad dressing is over the Moon! (Secret ingredients: fresh green garlic and maple syrup)
This week’s bounty:
Favorite food this week: Spring Mix – I could eat these everyday. The addition of fresh dill makes your salad mix my forever favorite.
Surprise: Koren Style Pickled Turnips – The perfect thing for my spicy guy for Father’s Day.
First tasting: Green garlic. I’ve never seen this in markets. Looks like green onions, but what a DELICIOUS zing it adds to any raw or cooked dish. An ingredient in Sam’s sweet vinegary salad dressing, green garlic is a sensory delight!
Braising greens – (Big variety of fresh greens) I love these in veggie scrambles and dinner side dishes.
Asparagus – Added to my omelette – perfect.
Fresh picked dill – Beautiful fresh fronds for potato salad, deviled eggs, salad dressings. So many foods awaiting you.
Red Radishes – So crunchy and fresh.
Spinach – Plump green lusciousness ready to jump into smoothies, salads, pasta sauce, omelettes and much more!
So many freshly-picked produce weeks to come with my CSA membership!
Can’t wait to see what’s in tomorrow’s harvest box! Stay tuned!
Cheers to Sam and Liza!
