This Week’s Local Box – June 18, 2012
Happy Summer Solstice. Celebrate the longest, and possibly hottest, day of the year with locally grown veggies! Beat the heat with the help of these cool and refreshing greens.
Not sure what to do with all these leafy greens? They really are quite versatile. Leafy vegetables can be prepared together for a variety of cold salads. Try making a Kale Caesar Salad or, if you want something warm, wilt turnip greens like you might spinach.
