I live in San Francisco, and my husband and I get a Terra Firma Farm CSA veggie box once a week. It has forced me to be mindful about what I cook, and to explore new recipes -- what do you do with persimmons? However, I find that most weeks I have some piece of greenery left wilting in the crisper, some piece of fruit molding in the fruit bowl. This blog signals a new commitment to using up all of the veggies. I will share recipes and ideas, and hope that you will share yours as well.

Sunday, October 9: Serving Salad

We were invited to a barbecue at our dear friends' house. Their parents were in town, and so they of course, had more than enough food to feed an army.  But my arugula was just sitting in the fridge. So I whipped up a quick arugula, tomato, and carrot (from the store during our week of no-box).

The dressing is an old stand-by of my childhood. It is kind of a cheater's salad dressing, perfect for a working mom or her young kids to make: olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried dill, dried basil, garlic powder.

What's left:
1/2 bunch dino kale
2 red sweet peppers
bunch green beans
2 lbs potatoes
3 onions
3 Granny Smith appleså
1/2 cantaloupe
