Dandelions! (And the Farmer's Market)


It's CSA Thursday . . . AND it's the kickoff of the Salem Farmer's Market! What a great day for produce lovers!

So be sure to swing by CGB to pick up your organic veggies, and then stop by the farmers market (for the opening day schedule, visit here) to supplement your share!

And in case you forgot (or missed it in an earlier post), here's what to expect this week:
4 hard-boiled eggs
2/3 cup dandelion greens, chopped and cooked
1 tsp horseradish
1 Tbsp fresh chives
½ cup mayonnaise

1. Chop eggs coarsely.
2. Add Dandelion greens, chives, and horseradish. Mix gently.
3. Add mayonnaise and mix just enough to coat ingredients.

Dandelion Pasta Salad


3 cups cooked pasta
1½ cups diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup dandelion greens, pre-cooked
2 wild leeks, minced, greens and all or 2 Tbsp minced onions
8 olives, sliced
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
