Hello there, and cheers to spring!
I missed my post for Ostara, or the spring equinox, on March 20th this year. But I didn’t miss spring planting!
Our garden is looking nice so far. It’s not our ideal, it’s not perfect, but we finally have our first harvest since starting it TWO YEARS AGO! Woohoo!
So far, what we have eat from what we have planted is:
- Swiss chard, a peppermint variety
- Cabbage! It’s SO cute!
- Baby lettuce
- Herbs: chives, lemon thyme, and cilantro
So, how to cook this all up?
I’m thinking a salad with the swiss chard and lettuces, topped with dressing made with yogurt, lemon, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, chives, lemon thyme, and cilantro! But I’ve never had a whole salad of mostly raw swiss chard, and I wonder how harsh it could taste. I may have to “cut” it with some mixed veg from the grocery store, but maybe that kills the vibe of eating just straight out of our garden.
For the cabbage, I’m just gonna do a super easy coleslaw! I thought about making okonomiyaki, but since I’m bringing this to share, I worry that the fried veggie pancake would grow soggy. So, coleslaw it is.
