CSA Cucumber, Fennel & Mint Salad Recipe

CSA veggies get super repetitive and boring this time of year, so it’s time to get creative with the summer harvests. That’s why I traded my typical salad-with-lettuce for a CSA Cucumber, Fennel & Mint version.

This actually came from one of our CSA‘s members, but I added a few extras for a more filling lunch.

CSA Cucumber, Fennel & Mint Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• Oranges – 2 peeled and cubed
• Mint – handful of leaves (or about 20-30 in my case.)
• Feta: 1/4 cup (optional).
• 1/2 cup or so of Sunflower seeds or sliced almonds – optional. (I felt like I needed to add some protein since I made this for lunch a few days.)

Dressing:

• 2 TB honey
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1. Combine cukes, fennel & oranges and mix around. Add mint, feta & sunflower seeds.
