Fabulous discovery) from the farmers market. It was the best coleslaw I've ever made. Tangy Coleslaw from The Joy of Cooking. I love the scapes in salads--I made a version of Fine Cooking's peas and butter lettuce salad (lettuce from the share, half of the peas mentioned above, herbs from the garden, thinly sliced scapes, with a lemon vinaigrette and grated ricotta salata) which was also fantastic. And LG ate the peas from that as well, so I considered it a victory for all of us. We're getting sugar snaps this week, and I think the idea of them dipped in homemade hummus is great and would appeal to all three of us.
