Mix up a batch of dressing, pre-wash some greens, and you’ll have easy salads for a few nights. A great way to use up the salad in your CSA share! This easy balsamic dressing is our go to salad dressing for CSA salads. Combine your favorite olive oil and balsamic vinegar with dijon mustard, garlic, and a little salt & pepper. Fresh or dried thyme is a great addition if you have it.
Just mix the ingredients together in a jar with a lid, and toss with greens. For a great fall salad add apples, shaved carrot, onion, crumbled blue cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
