Arugula salad I  had at a friend's house: Arugula, chopped white figs, chopped, walnuts, red onion, blue cheese crumbles, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt. (I just made a similar salad leaving out the figs and walnut- which I did not have- substituting fresh, ripe avocado. It was also very good.)

The first CSA share of 2018 (and ever) was picked up today after I had the pleasure of harvesting and collating the available items into the designated boxes. What was even more delightful was giving the boxes to my CSA members and having them be happy with what they received. So far, so good!!

• 4 assorted heads of lettuce (or the equivalent if the heads were on the small side)
  
• Small bag of arugula
  
• Small bag of rainbow chard
  
• One dozen long stalks of rhubarb
  

And the following herbs:

• Parsley- one bunch
  
• Dill- one bunch
  
• Chives- one bunch
  
• Garlic chives- one bunch
  
• Oregano- small bunch
  
• Cilantro- one bunch
