in our salad days

Tonight for dinner we ate a miraculously good salad, mostly from the garden.

I got my first CSA box, which includes "garlic scapes" which are sort of like garlic chives except they'll take your head off. Also radishes, some of which I ate in egg salad and some of which I'm going to cut up in yogurt cheese with those scapes. I bought a bunch of beets today and I'm going to use the greens and the radish greens in a cream soup with potatoes. And roast the beets as an appetizer before vegetable couscous.

Mmm, that sounds a bit like a salad I had on my recent Napa Valley trip. There were lots of bitter field greens with slices of fresh apricots, toasted almonds, and some sort of crumbly cheese, maybe feta, in a muscat vinaigrette. I think this is going to be a big year for apricots. I hope that bodes well for the peach crop, because peaches were teh suck for most of last summer. I have nectarines for lunch today!
