Thanks to our CSA, we tried these vegetables we had never eaten before:
* patty pan squash
* kale
* endive
* radicchio
* mustard greens
* beets
* sugar snap peas
* Swiss chard and rainbow chard
* fresh okra–when I first saw it, I had no idea what it was. I had only ever seen it fried!
Thanks to the CSA, we tried new types of familiar old vegetables:
* purple hull green beans
* egg tomatoes (which are a pink grape tomato–very yummy)
* yellow salad tomatoes
* lemon cucumbers (which are ugly little balls, but they taste great)
* blond cucumbers
* buttercrunch lettuce
* freckle lettuce
* ball carrots (little balls with plenty of flavor)
We used our vegetables to make many wonderful new recipes:
* chard pie
* white chard pizza
* homemade salsa
* endive or radicchio pasta bake
* ramen noodle salad
* zucchini cake
At first, we couldn’t decide whether these were a tomato, a cucumber, or a squash. Turns out, they are called “lemon cucumbers.”
