The best Sunday dinner is the kind made strictly from our Union Square Greenmarket haul on Saturday. This gorgeous (and spicy!) mix is:

> swiss chard (which was $2 for a giant bunch — still figuring out what to do with the rest. saute it?)

> broccoli sprouts

> peppers (I wish I remember what kind these are / but they’re bright, almost neon green, and stunning)

> teeny yellow cherry tomatoes

> I threw in some sesame seeds and tossed the whole thing in homemade dressing (apple cider vinegar, spicy mustard and a smidge of manuka honey)

Cheers to the end of another beautiful weekend / the start of what I hope is another magical week.

Union Square Greenmarket Salad

Nothing makes me happier than wandering around a farmers market on a weekend morning. The smell of fresh flowers and vegetables, talking to the farmers who grew and brought their goodness to us in the city, discovering new kinds of greens, dreaming up a menu for dinner that night… it’s heaven. And it’s exactly what B and I did this past Saturday at the Union Square Greenmarket. It feels good to support the local farmers and it feels even better to put all that fresh food in your belly.

The salad we created (pictured above): boston lettuce, radish sprouts (which had quite a spicy bite to ’em!), heirloom tomatoes and shaved asparagus on top. I tossed it all with two colors of sesame seeds, some chili flakes, lemon and olive oil. Simple perfection.
