A Spring Salad 

 Today, Great spring greens for lunch. A mix of spicy greens such as  mustard greens, tatsoi, mizuna, fresh spinach, mixed sprouts and pea greens all local. Although I am usually not a fan of lettuce and would rather have chunks of vegetables and not bother with the greens  I do love them in spring all the choices, and flavors. We are not talking plain romaine here. These greens were all bought in Providence last weekend and they are so fresh and crunchy and tasty. Not sure who I bought the Spinach And Spicy greens from.  I bought pea shoots from Allens farm Westport and the Super Babies Salad from Farming Turtles consists of baby spicygreens arugula,beets,mizuna,parsley,peashoots and sunflower. The taste of all these leaves of sorts and sizes is so good you really don't need the extra veggies and olives, cheese and eggs I added. If you’re near a farmers market stop and grab some spring greens. Kingstons  1st market of the season was at Grays beach yesterday and had many vendors, everything from local meats, specialty salts, vegetables, candles, scallops, food trucks and a band. Plymouth farmers market is making the move from Plymouth Plantations to G Pub Entertainment Complex 101 Carver Rd Plymouth Ma. On May 18th from 2.30-6 every Thursday.  The Plymouth market has been going for many years and has a great array of vendors. Buzzards Bay now has a Farmers Market on Wednesday’s. There are also markets in hingham and Hanover and all over Massachusetts. See  the latest issue of Edible Southeastern Magazine for all the local markets. I will be posting my meals made with local ingredients.
