Lavender Fields Forever at Potrero Nuevo Farm in Pescadero<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It only takes about about a teaspoon of dried lavender to add lovely perfume and a little extra herbal flavor to your salad dressing. Add too much lavender and you veer towards creating a fantastic smelling and yucky soap tasting vinaigrette \u2013 blech<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Watermelon Radishes for Tunitas Creek Kitchen. Do you see how excited I am to use these? Totally elated!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Co-Farm Manager’s Suzie & Jay Trexler, love to saddle me up with beautiful produce for our Tunitas Creek Kitchen\u00a0<\/a>events \u00a0(I know, poor me right? It’s real tough cooking with just picked produce and smelling lavender from the fields in my kitchen \u2013 real<\/em> tough). They wanted to highlight watermelon radishes for a private luncheon so went for a simple salad with baby lettuces, fennel, mint, and mandoline shaved radish.<\/p>\n

For our upcoming pig roast (this weekend) Suzie has some pickled too, which I’ll share with you on a separate post.<\/p>\n

Watermelon Radish from Potrero Nuevo Farm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Restaurants pay top dollar for this colorful radish. They are sweeter tasting than red radishes and have a slight turnipy flavor. Normally they are not peppery the way some radishes can be. And they are SO pretty in pink.<\/p>\n
Nope, sorry, they do\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0taste like watermelon…<\/p>\n
But they are really delicate in flavor so it’s nice to keep it simple no matter how you’re using them.<\/p>\n
