The beauty of salads, Chef Jamie Simpson from the Culinary Vegetable Institute shares, is that the farmer has already done nearly all the work for you. When enjoying fresh salad ingredients that were regeneratively farmed and harvested at the peak of ripeness with love at The Chef’s Garden, you benefit from the maximum in flavor and nutrition. Salads can serve as a mouth-watering main entrée or the perfect side dish, and you can add different seasonal ingredients each time to make your salad a uniquely wonderful taste experience.  

They are a perfect prep ahead meal to take to work or school. You can also use salad greens to stretch leftovers into a filling and nourishing meal. 

Salads are packed with phytonutrients (including antioxidants), vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are a great way to increase your intake of vitamins A,C,E, folate, and K and to support a healthy gut microbiome. The high fiber and lower carbohydrate content of this nutrient dense box may help to stabilize blood sugar following a meal and our bitter greens may help to improve digestion by stimulating your own digestive juices.  

To retain the most nutrients from these vegetables it is best to eat them raw, blanched, or lightly sautéed.

Exactly what’s included in each of our salad boxes will vary by season, but they’ll always be perfectly curated with just the right amount of farm fresh greens and other veggies. 

This box contains vegetables for two for approximately one week.

Green Goddess Dip

Create a Green Goddess Dip:

• 1 cup of greens. Choose a combination of your favorite greens such as dill, mint, parsley, basil, chives, watercress or cilantro.
  
• 1-2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
• 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
•  Pinch kosher salt, more to taste
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
• ½ cup Créme Fraiche, Sour Cream, or Plain Greek Yogurt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise, optional

If you are dairy intolerant, sub soft tofu for the cheese and yogurt and add the traditional anchovy or tsp of fish sauce. The anchovy replaces the tang of the fermented dairy items.

1. Place greens, garlic, scallions, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
2. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated. Add feta and process until smooth; pulse in yogurt. Taste dip and add more salt, if desired. If you like a creamier, richer dip, add mayonnaise and pulse to combine.
3. Serve dip immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
