Salad Night
Gather some delicious cheese, greens, fruits and veggies and get creative! These are just a few ideas. Pick up some Londonderry cheese from the Springdell farm stand for an awesome option!
Ingredient: Tomatoes
There is a by of a controversy about whether or joy to store your tomatoes in the fridge. We here at CSA365 lean heavily towards not storing them in the fridge, leaving them on a countertop (not too close together) works well.
These beauties were from Springdell plants grown in Jess’ Community Garden plot.
If you find yourself with a surplus of cherry tomatoes in the summer (hard to believe, I know), cook them up with a little garlic and olive oil, and you’ll be amazed at how many you’ll devour. Sarah roasts hers with a bit of honey, also quite delicious!
400 degrees in the oven with olive oil, coarse salt and pepper to taste, and 20 minutes later you have a way to devour those extra cherry tomatoes before they get squishy! (How’s that for a delectable run-on sentence?) These sticky sweet beauties are filled with flavor, and you can literally sit and eat a ton. Okay, maybe not a literal ton, but pretty close. Don’t forget to scrape the syrup off the baking dish, that’s the best part!
Another option is to leave them on your counter, visible to those walking by. As a quick and healthy snack, you’d be surprised by how many slowly disappear through the week.
Recipes Using Tomatoes
Spinach and Ricotta Roll Ups
Sarah used Ricotta and Gouda for this one. It’s a versatile recipe you’ll see again in another form.
Spinach Lasagna
Mozzarella and ricotta cheeses along with some lasagna noodles compliment these delicious veggies. This dish will keep your family fed for more than one meal, if you can keep from eating it all in one sitting.
