April 2023 Newsletter 2

The gorgeous spring weather from the past week has made us eager to get outside and enjoy ourselves. What better way to enjoy the sunshine than while eating a fresh, locally-made lunch?

We’ve gathered 5 of our favorite seasonally-inspired spring salads and a few creative sandwiches to help you create the spring picnic spread of your dreams. Although the Market will not have every ingredient necessary for the recipes, you can always substitute your choice of spring vegetables, ‘forageables’, or dressings for a salad that is uniquely yours! In the picture below, we gathered a sampler of our finest salad fixings so that you know what to look for when you come in.

Romaine and Sugar Snap Pea salad with Pecan dressing
Bean Salad with Lemon & Herbs
Spring Chicken Salad
Strawberry and Watercress Salad
Pea Shoot and Baby Artichoke Salad

• A grilled ham and cheese sandwich, using ham steak from Maple Leaf Farm, swiss cheese from God’s Country Creamery, dijon mustard from Twisted Vine Gardens, and Byler’s fig jam instead of apricot jam for a textured twist.
• PB&J with NOSH Butters or Once Again nut butters, and Byler’s jellies/jams.
• or a classic egg n cheese breakfast sandwich, which was submitted to us by our very creative(!) reader, Lydia!
