CSA Love

Britney and I are members of a farm this summer (Monroe Family Farms) as part of a CSA (Community Sustained Agriculture) and we get to pick up our produce each week at a local drop-off. We have a single share that is a good amount of produce for us. Yesterday (every Wednesday) I went and picked up our third delivery of vegetables. We received 3 large heads of lettuce, 2 zucchini, a few radishes, a few red potatoes, 2 white onions, a bulb of fennel and a few more things I'm probably forgetting. 

This morning I got back from yoga and thought I should put the cleaned veggies into the fridge (I heavily rinsed them last night because they come all dirty to preserve their freshness) and decided to make a glorious salad for breakfast. I cut up some very flavorful lettuce (kind of peppery and bitter) with some tofu, cashews, radishes, cilantro, green onion, garlic scapes and probably a few other things! So delicious topped with salt, pepper, chili powder, balsamic vinegar and EVOO. 
Breakfast!!

Super healthy, right?

Name this veggie. I don't know what it is but I chopped up the greens and the purple bulb really small and threw it all into my salad--more vitamins is how I see it!
