I’m seeing green! This week’s menu will include lots of salads for lunch. I have so much left from my CSA that I need to start incorporating it much more into my diet. What else will I be making this week?

I also planted some cilantro today in some leftover space. Hopefully I’ll have better luck now that I know it bolts quickly. This post linked to Things I Love Thursday

Raspberry or Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing

The original recipe in Simply in Season is for raspberry vinaigrette dressing, but since I have some strawberries on my counter I thought I’d give it a try using them. Then I brought it to my parent’s house (along with some of the abundant lettuce we received from the CSA) for Sunday dinner.
