2022 CSA Week 7 Recipes

It’s been long hot days around here, and the gardens are loving the sunshine, and our beds are as full as they’ve ever been at this time of year. Jimmy has been using these dry days to make hay for the sheep to eat in the winter. We are excited to include a small amount of tomatoes for the first time this year. We are growing some really delicious varieties, and we can’t wait to share them with you throughout this season. We did not include the tomatoes in a recipe this week because most people like to eat the first tomatoes of the year straight out of the bag.  Keep sharing the wonderful food you are making on social media. We will see you next week.

Potato Salad

Place 10 unpeeled red potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through but still firm, about 20 minutes. You could also rub the potatoes in oil and cook them on the grill. Remove from the water, let cool, and cut the potatoes into chunks. Set the potatoes aside. Hard boil 6 eggs, cut into bit sized pieces and set aside

In a bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard,1/2 red onion bunch finely chopped, all of the celery finely chopped, about 1/2 cup, and salt and pepper until well mixed.

Place the potatoes and eggs in a large salad bowl, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp fresh dill finely chopped. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and eggs, and mix lightly. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
