Dead Simple Slaw
Adapted from Gourmet, June 2008
This is great on sandwiches, and on tacos!
This slaw is both sweet and tart, surprisingly bold for the small number of ingredients.
2 1/2 lb green cabbage, cored and cut into 3-inch chunks, then finely chopped or shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large carrot, coarsely grated
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
Toss all vegetables in a large bowl with 1 tsp each of salt and pepper. Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar, then toss with slaw. Chill, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour (for vegetables to wilt and flavors to blend).
Do ahead: Slaw can be chilled up to 1 day.
Market News
Hello!
Next Wednesday is 4th of July. We will be delivering on Tuesday, July 3rd at Trinity from 4 – 6. (same place and time, different day!) The Market will open Sunday night per usual, and you will have until Monday night to place your order. We will deliver on Tuesday, July 3rd. You’ll be able to order all your goodies for July 4th picnics!
It is hot and dry on our end – no rain in weeks, and not much in sight. Typical of summers, as of late, but it can’t help but feel early for these conditions. Luckily we are irrigated, so the crops are doing well. Also, the night temperatures remain cool, so the plants are still flowering and producing.
And boy oh boy do we have some great produce for you! All the bounty of summer is here – tomatoes, cukes, summer squash of all kinds, cabbages and lettuces, potatoes – and more! No need to go to the store this week!
Also, flowers are back – thanks for your patience last week as Tally healed up from a bad back.
Earthwind Botanicals is having a sale on select bags of bulk soap, so now is a great time to save some money on soap for the summer.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
