Ever since I started getting a farm share I've eagerly awaited the first day of the season. That was today. Usually we just get a little bit, enough for one meal. Not today!
I came away with: 1/2 pound of mustard greens (and a plan to pickle them, maybe tomorrow), a bunch of arugula, a pound of spinach, a bunch of radishes, a bunch of Hakurei turnips, a bunch of swiss chard, a head of Napa cabbage, 40 (yes, 40. Forty. Four-oh.) garlic scapes, a pint of strawberries, and a pint each of snow and shell peas. That is a lot of food. Mostly greens. I'm hoping Mocha will help make a dent but he hasn't seemed so interested in the radish and turnip greens so far.
Adding to the greens: last night our mason came to our door with a HUGE grocery bag crammed full with lettuce. I hope we can get through it before it goes bad!
Tonight's dinner, therefore, featured a large salad.

| Lettuce, arugula, spinach, turnips, radishes, strawberries, peas, tomatoes and goat cheese. With a little balsamic vinegar. Yum. |
