It's that time of year when leafy greens are so fresh and abundant. Cool spring time temperatures make our greens sweet, crisp, and so delicious. At the farm, we make a big green salad with dinner almost every night during the spring! This helps us feel so healthy after a long winter eating comfort foods. Have you tried chopping your fresh herbs into your green salads? This brings a bright new flavor to salads, and it's a great way to use up herb bunches (stems and all!) before your next box is delivered. Enjoy!
