"Don't Underestimate The Radish"

7/2/2014

 

We love radishes here crunchy, spicy & delicious we put them on salads and in our sandwiches all the time.  We also love to snack on them like my favorite radio host, Lynne Rossetto Kasper describes in her article "Don't underestimate the radish"
This week in your share - 
Radishes, Spinach, Peas, Strawberries, Lettuce, Beets, Scallions, Herbs & Garlic Scapes

As the farming season gets more hectic our dinners tend to get a little later and a little simpler ( aka- lazier).  When it hits 90 degrees here and our favorite pizza place is closed we grill.  The other day we had a early season version of our favorite summer dinner.  I grilled garlic scapes, beets and the very first zucchini from the field.  I also grilled the beet greens, I stirred them around in a bowl with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt & pepper and threw them on at the last minute until they were just wilted.  We love this dish with rice, olives, plain yogurt, chèvre or feta and hot sauce.  

Our little one has been eating salad every day lately, which I obviously want to encourage.  I knew she would  love this dressing with strawberries and maple syrup in it!  I used some leftover grilled beets along with feta cheese and sunflower seeds in this salad.

    Greetings 
    CSA Members!

    While life on the farm with young children is taking every drop of my time I am putting this on pause, with hopes to pick it up at some point!
