Seasonal Salad from Heirloom Organic Gardens

Finally it's raining! I've been hearing from the folks at Heirloom Organic Gardens & Eatwell Farms that the lack of rain has hindered their crops and they haven't been able to grow full heads of cabbage - which require a lot of rain. It's been raining for a solid 3 days now which is GREAT! Looking forward to all the spring vegetables coming our way. In anticipation here is a tip of the hat to the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, Heirloom Organic Gardens, & Gordon Clark....
The greens pictured above are curly kale and a type of arugula from Heirloom Organic Gardens. Below is a mix of greens selected from the farmer's market to go our salad as part of Create a Farmer's Market Feast
Delicious salad made with seasonal greens, fennel, hard boiled egg, grated beet, radishes and sliced onion.
Gordon Clark's Special Salad Dressing:
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a spicy type of mustard
The dressing is so good that I thought there were some additional secret ingredients, but not it really is just that simple. So what's the trick? Put it all in a Tupperware container and mix with some elbow grease.
YUM!
Enjoy.....
