CSA Week 2

This week our CSA was a little less greens heavy and a little more veggie heavy which I am happy about.  I love my greens but due to the heat last week they didn’t last very long which meant rather than getting cooked up or put in a salad they were juiced.

This weeks share:

Red Bibb Lettuce

Dino Kale

Spinach

Kohlrabi

I haven’t experimented with kohlrabi that much but in the past we have had it raw in salads, cooked up in stir fries and in this root vegetable curry dish.

Snap Peas

Garlic Scapes

I love to make pesto with garlic scapes and I plan on making a nice big batch tomorrow.

Garlic Scape Pesto Pasta with Zucchini

Summer Squash

I am a huge fan of summer squash.  I like to keep it simple and just saute or roast with a little olive oil, salt and pepper but sometimes I like to get a little more creative and make dishes like my recipe for my Italian Almond Tart

Cucumber

Recipe: Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Balsamic Shallot Reduction

Green Garlic
