Carrots
The young, spring carrots we got this week would be perfect for these Israeli Carrots.

Kale
I’ve wanted to try this dish for a long time, Kale Caesar Salad. I think it will be great in the summer. You don’t want the usual Kale dishes – like soup with Sausage and Kale.

Snap Peas
Here is a recipe for Soft Polenta with Roasted Portobellos and Snap Peas. My guess is they will just get eaten as snacks again at our house.

Spinach
I rushed home tonight from CSA pick up and made a Simple Spinach Salad. Stay tuned to the blog tomorrow for a recipe.

Basil and Parsley
I plan to make pesto to share and freeze with both of the herbs.
