GRILLED PEACH + BURRATA SALAD W/PROSCIUTTO & WALNUTS

This summer salad is perfect for warm days when you want something filling and refreshing. We have all the ingredients you will need. Start with The Fit Farmer's arugula and Street Fare Farm's lettuce (more arrives Thursday), add your grilled SC/CA peaches, Siano's burrata (or mozzarella), drizzle with Almeria Gold Olive Oil and Kensington Balsamic Glaze, add slices of AB Vannoy Ham's prosciutto and Azure's walnuts (make some spicy candied walnuts if you're a little extra), and garnish with fresh black pepper, Himalayan sea salt, and fresh mint or basil leaves. I think some 8th Generation blackened grilled chicken breasts would also be amazing on this dish if you want some extra protein.

You can find the "starter" recipe for this salad here.

TUSCAN WHITE BEAN DIP + FRESH VEGGIES

We have a wonderful variety of fresh vegetables that are perfect for snacking. This Tuscan White Bean Dip can turn a snack into a meal, and is super simple to make. This recipe comes from "Buck Naked Kitchen" by Kirsten Buck. All of her recipes are super simple, clean, and we have her book available here at the market. We have you covered with the ingredients: white beans (canned or dried), Almeria Gold's olive oil, fresh lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried rosemary, Himalayan salt, and veggies galore.

APRICOT CHIA PUDDING PARFAITS

Another great Kirsten Buck recipe from "Buck Naked Kitchen", these chia pudding parfaits are fabulous and can be modified to fit your tastes and whatever fruit happens to be in season.

Yield 1 Parfait | In a mason jar, combine 4 Tbs chia seeds, 1/2 can coconut milk (coconut milk arrives Tuesday!!!), 1/2 Tbs maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 ripe pitted and chopped apricot, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight. Before eating, top with your favorite granola (ours is the Cashew Butter Hemp from Pure Bliss), berries, nuts or seeds, and enjoy!
