One thing I've missed about June in Minnesota is the fresh lettuce. Nothing quite compares to leafy greens straight from the garden patch, so tender and flavorful early in the season. Our CSA had surprise lettuce in the box this week. Can you see my cartwheels?
Here's my idea of a "fall harvest" salad; lettuce, white turnips, cabbage, pickled beets, tomato, red pepper, homemade garlic vinaigrette dressing and parmesean cheese. Pair this up with an Oktoberfest Bratwurst slathered with German mustard and there's no need for a bun.
