With the addition to our box of some locally grown cucumbers (coutesy of Smithwick Gardens), I’m including this recipe whcih is a family favorite.
1 cucumber seeded & chopped
1 can black beans – rinsed
1 chopped mango
2-3 cloves garlic
1/2 onion finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
2 TBS rice vinegar
chipotles in adobo chopped fine, to taste
Salt to taste.
Can be eaten with tortilla chips or as a salad.
This weeks bounty includes -
2-3 Kent Mangoes (these are my favorite mangoes, they don’t have any fibers, and are just like butter!)
5-6 nectarines
3+ lbs bananas
1 cantaloupe
1 lb strawberries
(do you see a fruit salad happening here?)
5 lbs yukon gold potatoes
1 bunch swiss chard
1 broccoli
All this organic goodness for 30.30
As promised, a delicous nutritious summer salad.
2 large yams
2 “regular” potatoes
1 cup mayo
3 TBS mango chutney
2-3 TBS curry powder
4 chopped scallions
1 TBS chopped parsley
Cook potatoes. Yams cook more quickly (about 5-6 min) so add them about 3 min after the other. Drain & cool.
For dressing mix mayo, chutney, curry, salt & pepper in a food proccessor or blender. Adjust seasoning for personal preference. Mix into potatoes & top with scallions & parsley.
I have also added chopped onion and/or celery to this salad depending on what I have available. Let your fridge be your guide!
I’ve just returned from visiting my daughter in Boulder CO and of course we just had to take in the Saturday morning Farmers Market. (I could move there just for that!) But it made me very grateful once again for the organic produce we ARE able to get up here on the frontier where gardening is somewhat difficult and it seems the ponies are a bit balky about getting us fresh, organic produce! SOOooo… as inspired by the farmers market, this weeks organic produce for little ol’ Earth Goods will beeee…
