Organic Eating Daily

Saturday Morning Shopping at the Farmer’s Market: May 31, 2008

Oh how I wish I could actually be the mixed greens you see in that plastic bag. So ridiculously full of flavor, I’ll say it every week — you barely need any salad dressing at all. A few organic lemons, when combined with some dried mint and olive oil, salt and pepper — a perfect salad topping for something simple at lunch or with dinner.

Also picked up some sweet, white organic corn to reminisce about the good old days. I’m going to boil it for a little bit on the stove, and then mow it down one row at a time. No butter, no salt — it’s also good enough to eat on its own. You can see some organic heirloom cherry tomatoes, yellow. Some organic fingerling potatoes, which are perfect roasted with olive oil, garlic and fresh rosemary. Some Italian striped beats, which are gorgeous inside, can also be thrown in the roasting dish with the potatoes.

Organic cherries, white peaches and nectarines round out the fruit selection this week. A couple of white zucchinis, a pair of avocadoes, some extra garlic and a handful of bok choy.
