Mixed Greens & More

What fun can you get up to with mixed greens? The season has just started, but already there is lots to do to ensure our weekly shares are properly prepared and savored. Last weeks blog entry shared suggestions of what to do with radishes, chives, and more, but what about those mixed greens? A beloved staple throughout the entire growing season, greens might be good for you but can sometimes feel like a chore to consume. 

I love this Tara O’Brady mushrooms and greens with toast recipe from the smitten kitchen blog. This recipe makes good use of several share items this week including garlic (or shallots) and fresh greens. With some mushrooms, a crusty loaf of bread, melting cheese, and minimal spices, greens become the focal note of a delicious comfort food meal.
