Today’s share will include: kale, lettuce, squash, cucumbers, beets, sweet onions, eggplant, cauliflower,
beans, broccoli, and choice of cilantro, parsley, or dill. There will be tomatillos as an extra. (Flower shares will return this week. Fruit shares will receive cherries and pluots.)

Serving suggestions:

• I tried a new strategy to use up the bundles of spinach and kale from last week: spinach artichoke dip. I had everything but the canned artichokes in the fridge/pantry and it came together easily so I will definitely keep it in mind for the next time I am craving something different with our abundant leafy greens. Don’t bother using expensive oil-marinated artichokes here, a drained can of Cento or Goya will do just fine. I threw in some leftover chopped CSA broccoli and onion which faded into the background proving that this might be my new go-to fridge clearing recipe. Served with a mix of crackers, sliced CSA carrots and tortilla chips, it was a family-friendly dinner loaded with veggies (and cheese).
