iron_chef_csaWe picked up our first farmshare on Thursday! It was very exciting. There was enough there to make the base of a lovely salad. With bacon, egg, and poached chicken added for protein, it was a tasty and satisfying meal for four.
From the farmshare:
1 head of lettuce, washed, patted dry, and torn into forkable pieces (my only requirement of a salad is that I not have to shove giant leaves or pieces of leaves into my mouth)
1 bunch of arugula, ditto
7 or so small white turnips, julienned
From the market:
3 pears, julienned
2 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
8 slices of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
4 chicken breasts, poached in chicken broth and tarragon and then diced
Dressing:
Juice of 3 lemons
1-2 tsp mustard
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
On the side:
Sugar snap peas, strings removed, served whole, raw, and cold
Result:
Win!
