Springdell Pork Harvest Salad


How many of you jumped on the latest pork harvest?  I totally did. I was excited to see a new flavor sausage on the board, garlic and cheese.  Well, I totally couldn’t resist and picked up a package of ground sausage to make into patties.

With all of the odds and ends of my share towards the end of the week I decided a simple salad with the sausage would be delicious.  Sometimes it’s the simple ingredients given a little bit of love that make the freshest, tastiest meals.  We all enjoy a nice salad so I decided to show you the layers of our Springdell dinner salads tonight.

I started by sautéing two small zucchini I had leftover in the fridge from a previous share.  I added some tabs of amish roll butter and a big handful of fresh chives from the pick your own herb garden at the farm. I put them aside to cool down while I assembled the rest of the salad.

I made the ground sausage and got them on the grill.  It didn’t take much to heat the grill up on such a steamy day like today!

A rough chop was all the Springdell lettuce needed and I sliced up a field cucumber to toss in there too.  I lightly tossed the lettuce and cucumber with a homemade raspberry vinaigrette.

On went some fresh cheese curds and the cooled zucchini and chive mixture.

On the side of the salad was a bowl of honey roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes.  (Recipe to come soon!)

Serve it up with the grilled sausage and you have yourself a fresh, local, tasty summer meal.
