Welcome to our Salad Box CSA!!
We are so happy to provide you with tasty, local, organic produce. We would like to send out some tips, updates, and recipes for you to try with ingredients from your Salad Box.
This week's box will include:
1 lb bag of Salad Mix
1 bunch of Mizuna (Japanese Mustard Greens) These are great in Asian dishes, tossed into a stir-fry, soup, pasta, or simply sauté with garlic and olive oil.
French Breakfast Radish
1 clamshell of Sunflower shoots Microgreens. Microgreens are sprouted seedlings of vegetables and herbs that contain 40x more nutrients than their mature counterpart. Toss these on anything: eggs, salads, sandwiches and main dishes to elevate your meal with flavor and nutrition.
Baby Poblano Peppers
Bell Peppers
Baby Bulls Blood Beets or Golden Beets
Jalapeno Peppers
Storage Tips
For maximum shelf life and freshness please keep all vegetables stored in the refrigerator or crisper. For root vegetables such as radishes, beets and carrots, remove the leafy tops and store in an airtight bag in refrigerator. Leave about an inch of green on them to prevent dehydration. To store bunched greens, such as Mizuna, wrap in a damp paper towel, or sealed bag, and store in refrigerator.
Avocado Toast
This is so simple and delicious to make. Please give this one a try!
All varieties work here. I have never met a radish or a microgreen that wasn't delicious on Avocado toast!
- Toast some of your favorite bread. I used Sourdough here.
- Mash up some avocado with a small squeeze of lemon juice.
- Spread avocado on toast and top with sliced breakfast radish, sunflower sprouts, sea salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. (Bagel Seasoning is great on this too)
CRUNCHY MIZUNA SALAD
Ingredients:
1 bunch of Mizuna (makes about 4 cups chopped)
3/4 cup French breakfast radish, chopped into matchsticks
3/4 cup apples, sliced into matchsticks
Mandarin Oranges are great in this too, I just didn't have any on hand.
5 Tablespoons Rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
1-2 tablespoons of “Bagel” seasoning or sesame seeds
Directions:
Chop Mizuna into bite size pieces discarding any larger, tougher stems. Slice up radishes and apples into matchstick size pieces.
In a bowl whisk together rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, sesame oil and salt.
Toss Mizuna, apples, radishes and dressing together in a medium sized bowl. Use as much dressing as you like. I used about 3/4 of the mixture.
Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to develop.
Serve topped with Bagel Seasoning or sesame seeds
Enjoy!
Stay tuned…
Tomatoes will be ready soon!!
