2018 CSA Week 8 Recipes

The tomatoes are finally here and we are very happy to use them in the recipes this week. We also included peppers and tomatillos in the share for the first time this year. That means that we get to use some great ingredients. The salsa recipe is the perfect use of the tomatoes and tomatillos, and is very easy to make. We also have a delicious potato salad. Both dishes are perfect for barbecues. We hope you enjoy the recipes we have for you this week!
