Spring Mix with Curry Vinaigrette

This delicious, subtly spiced vinaigrette lifts a simple salad to a sublime level. Here it works especially well with toasty nuts, crunchy seeds, juicy apples and chewy-sweet raisins adorning tender baby greens.

Arugula Pesto

A twist on the classic basil pesto, this spicy condiment is a great addition to sandwiches, pastas, or soups. Mature arugula will contribute more pungency than baby greens, so bunched arugula is your best bet if you’re looking for an assertive flavor. If you happen to have an abundance of arugula, make a double or triple batch of this pesto and freeze it for up to 3 months. If you plan to use the pesto in small amounts, freeze the sauce in ice cube trays and then store the frozen cubes in a zipper bag.

Spinach-basil Pesto

A twist on the classic condiment, this flavorful and nutritious spinach-basil pesto is a great addition to sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, or soups. The addition of spinach and walnuts also make this a more budget-friendly option than your traditional pesto. Any of our spinach products would work well here, even our baby arugula-baby spinach or baby kale-baby spinach blends. If you happen to have an abundance of spinach and basil, make a double or triple batch of this pesto and freeze it for up to 3 months. If you plan to use the pesto in small amounts, freeze the sauce in ice cube trays and then store the frozen cubes in a zipper bag. This version uses walnuts instead of the classic pine nuts, but you could use pine nuts or even hazelnuts.

Organic Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese

This salad showcases the vibrant colors and concentrated earthy sweetness of roasted beets together with fresh organic baby greens and the delightful contrasts of fruit, cheese and nuts — a combination sure to leave you wanting more!

Here on the Central Coast of California, we’re lucky to have perfect conditions for baby beets to thrive year-round; but don’t worry if you can’t find baby beets, larger ones will do just fine.

Blood oranges are spectacular in this salad, but if they’re not available, don’t hesitate to make it with any oranges you like. The sweet acidity of the oranges sets up a delicious contrast with smooth white feta and crunchy nuts. This recipe is flexible enough to make great use of what you have on hand; fresh goat cheese works as nicely as the feta, and you can easily substitute organic spring mix for the organic arugula.
