The Symphony Salad Ensemble we created last week was such a great hit that we decided to feature it this week. It is a great way to make a very robust salad as well as to try our unique produce. More people are becoming fascinated with our unusual selection so we thought this would be a nice way to let you a try a variety of items. The Ensemble starts with a bag of the Symphony Salad mix then adds golden sugar peas, podding radishes, dragon carrots, herbs and flowers. All of these are also available as single purchases without the ensemble. The ensemble ingredients change each week depending on what is in fruition in the garden.
We also discovered that some of you weren't familiar with our hallmark Symphony Salad mix. It is different in that it is a mixture of greens that offer a wider variety of flavor and nutrients than a simple salad. It is so nutrient dense it would take an entire web page, not one blog entry, to cover it all. The Vittles de Vine Symphony Salad mix contains 2 kinds of Kale (Red Russian and Red Ursa), Tres Fin Endive, Palla Rossa Chicory, 2 kinds of Parsley (Flat-Leaf Italian and Darki Mossi), 2 kinds of Spinach (Secret Spinach and Bloomsdale), Mild Mustard Mix, Chervil, Arugula, 2 kinds of Orach (Aurora and Magenta Magic). Burgundy Amaranth, Magentaspreen Goosefoot, Epazote, Blonde Escarole, Perfection Fennel, 7 kinds of Lettuce (Blushed Butter Oak, Divina, Jack Ice, Anuenue, Outredgeous, Brown Golding, Flashy Trout Back).
Thank you all for your support and wonderful comments. We look forward to seeing you at Market.

I bought a bag of your mixed green and magenta orach at the 6th Ave market on Tuesday. For dinner tonight I chopped up the fresh orach and tossed it with some of Rolf's smoked sockeye and fresh market blue berries. Nothing else but those three ingredients. It was, indeed, devine vittles.

We're so glad you enjoyed the salad, Caron!! You seem to have discovered how wonderful the greens are without salad dressing but simply accompanied by other delicious 'vittles.'
ReplyDeleteI love the classic Pac NW combo you chose of salmon and berries. If you feel like exploring something new and different, come by and see us at market this week, tell us who you are, and we'll have some Aunt Mollies Ground Cherries held aside for you to lagniappe!
Thanks for your post,
