It's almost impossible to be stuck in a menu rut when you belong to a CSA. Every week I'm surprised and excited by what Growing Power (my CSA) sends in my market basket. This week, I had only one thought when I unpacked my bag. SALAD!
I don't make a lot of salads in the winter months. I'm much more drawn to soups and one-dish meals, like casseroles. But, it was impossible for me not to be swept away by the crunchy goodness of pea shoots and watercress.
