We're getting a weekly CSA box from a local organic farm co-op, so we are eating a lot of green things. It's quite a lot for two people, so we always have a couple of big salads and then I work to use up the rest of the stuff in various meals and try to be a bit creative. 

 

We always get a nice batch of mixed young greens and some choices in our other selections. Here, carrots, kale, kohlrabi, spinach, green onions, radishes.

Add in some tomatoes and cukes from another local farm for a big dinner salad.

Purple kale, fresh sage, strawberries, spinach and the usual salad mix. I like choosing spinach because I can add a bit into a fresh salad and it's easy to quickly steam the rest and then freeze it.

Savoy cabbage, basil, garlic scapes, snow peas, snap peas, spinach, cukes, kohlrabi and salad mix.

Dinner salad, there's actually a lot of kohlrabi in there. We love it raw.

As soon as I knew we had garlic scapes and basil, I knew I would be making Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto. I have a lot of walnuts in the pantry so used them instead of pine nuts.

With a few black olives.

Tonight is the pesto again to finish it off. I needed to keep clearing out the crisper boxes and wanted to use up some celery that was getting on a bit, so made Polpette di sedano (Tuscan Celery Balls) from the Memorie de Angelina blog. I served them with a simple tomato sauce made from some good canned tomatoes that were flavoured with a bit of garlic scapes and basil. We had them as an appy with a few extra left over for tomorrow. 

 

These were fun! Tasty, too!  🙂
