We’re halfway through our CSA, and things are looking quite good.
This week’s box seemed to bring lots of purple colored goodies. Here’s what we got:
Starting from the upper left:
- Our first celery crop, which I’m thinking should make it’s way into a fresh gazpacho.
- Some wild blackberries to munch on. We’ve got our own blackberry bush growing in the backyard that we hope will start producing, but in the meantime, these will do.
- Yet again, a Japanese eggplant that I’ll use to make my mother’s amazing Asian eggplant salad recipe (it she’ll share it with me).
- Wonderful little new potatoes. Let’s not go nuts but make a fresh potato salad to please the husband.
- This. Heirloom. Tomato. Without a doubt, I’m making a burrata salad again. I rephotographed with last weeks bounty, check it out.
- Purple beans! What to do, not sure, give me some ideas friends.
- Red onions that we’ve already eaten with some Italian sausages.
- And last but not least, Asian baby greens. I’ve never had these before but they have a very distinct and wonderful taste. I’m going to go simple and try this salad.

Then topped with queso fresco for good measure. Of course, depending on the color of your tomatoes you may end up with a completely different looking soup, but this doesn’t matter. I find that tomatoes just on the verge of being overripe work best, and we’ve had plenty of those lately. […]
