beets, green onions, lettuce, sugar snap peas, turnips

A lovely, colorful and crunchy early summer salad. (* Indicates PVF produce and ** indicates Star Hollow Farm produce. For more information about what we are doing with our PVF CSA share, click here.))

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 head of lettuce*
  • 4-6 spring, salad white turnips, thinly sliced with skins*
  • 3-4 green onions**
  • 1/2 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half*
  • 1 bunch of raw baby beets, thinly sliced with or without skins*
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon garlic vinaigrette

DIRECTIONS

  1. Tear lettuce leaves, and rinse well. Spin in a salad spinner to remove excess water (This is essential for great tasting salads. Extra water can water down the salad dressing and compromise the flavor of the salad.)
  2. Thinly slice the turnips and raw beets (no need to peel spring turnips or beets – you can eat their skins too) and chop the green onion.
  3. Toss lettuce through vinaigrette in a large bowl. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve immediately.

Extremely Local Salad

lettuce, organic

This is the most local of salads – picked from my garden 10 minutes before I was about to serve, and hand washed on ensure there was no dirt or bugs.  I dressed it with a little of this vinaigarette dressing and it was a huge hit!

Salad greens from my garden

The salad, while simple, took center stage.

greek, lettuce, salad

A simple recipe from Bon Apetit, I also added some tomatoes, white onion and olives to this.  To remove the sharpness of the onion, I soaked it in ice water for 5 minutes before adding it to the salad.  A nice, light side to go along with some of the heavier items.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 16 cups torn romaine lettuce (about 1 large head)
  • 1 English hothouse cucumber, cut into 2 1/2×1/4×1/4-inch strips
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small jar kalamata olives, drained

Preparation

Whisk oil, juice and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine lettuce; cucumber, green onions and dill in large bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
