Any other year this weekend would be one of picnics, cookouts, and celebratory gatherings. We are, however, in the era of social distancing, and our gatherings look a bit different. What doesn’t have to change is the opportunity to cook up some delicious summer recipes with what’s in your CSA share. Below we have recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including a summertime staple – coleslaw.
- Basil and Dill Coleslaw
- Peanut Slaw with Soba Noodles (just skip the Brussel sprouts, and use green cabbage instead of red)
- Sriracha Veggie Coleslaw (coleslaw mix means cabbage, carrots, onions) this one is awesome with burritos, tacos, etc.
- Classic Basil Pesto – add it to pasta, a sandwich, pizza, top your eggs for breakfast, the possibilities are endless!
- Caesar Salad with Lacinato Kale (or dinosaur kale, or tuscan kale). This recipe calls for anchovies as a traditional part of Caesar salad, but you can use a store-bought caesar dressing.
- Dill Feta Scramble with Pita
- Best Egg Salad with Dill
- Vegetable Lovers Fried Rice with carrots, snow peas, eggs..
- Kickin’ Collard Greens
- Quick Pickled Vegetables (Squash, beets, radishes, etc.)
- Zucchini Carrot Apple Muffins
The options for pesto are limitless. Did you know that carrot tops can be used in pesto as well? Have fun experimenting with basil, garlic scapes, dill, even beets. You can combine different nuts (cashews, pine nuts, pistachios) and cheeses (asiago, parmesan, Romano) to create a pesto that’s unique to your household. Pictured below is a garlic scape, basil, cashew and parmesan pesto.
