SPRING RECIPES

Updated: Jun 30


Hello!

It's spring, and the vegetables are here to prove it.

If you're a CSA Member, you may have received "cutting celery" or "leaf celery" in your bags this week. Cutting celery is a variety of celery that has been bred with an emphasis on the leaf versus the stalk. It's a versatile ingredient for salads, soups, stews, and vegetable medleys. My favorite way to use it indeed in a salad. Its grassy and peppery flavor can add serious interest to a salad of boring ole' lettuce.

For your cooking pleasure, a roundup of seasonal recipes to go along with this week's CSA shares. (Schedule your next bag here.)
