Salad with Raspberries and Cucumbers

This time of year we eat a lot of salads around here. And since we started receiving our weekly CSA, even more so. There are always a lot of salad greens in the box along with new and unfamiliar veggies. This is our first year taking part of a CSA (community-supported Agriculture, see note) and I can already tell that it is making us eat a lot more veggies than we normally do. And to know that it is so fresh and organically grown is very satisfying.

Orzo salad with Vegetables and Herbs

This will be the last posting from our 4th of July menu. This Salad became an instant summer favorite when I first made it just about 15 years ago. My husband can't get enough of this stuff! It is full of summers best veggies and I got to use some of my beautiful mint that is growing right outside my kitchen.

Potato and pea salad with Chive Aioli

Of all the hundreds of potato salad recipes out there, this is by far the most unique and delicious tasting one that I have ever found. The potatoes are actually the star of this dish and they are not swimming in mayo!
