Again, if it's warm and sunny, and if I've been outside all day, sometimes I just want the taste of summer for dinner. And not much else can provide a taste of summer better than a tomato salad. I make mine the laziest way possible -- slice tomatoes onto a serving plate, top with slices of fresh mozzarella, and dress with torn pieces of basil leaves. A little bit of salt, and some cracked pepper and I'm good!
Because the weather is chilly, and because I had a bag of arugula from the last farm box taunting me, only to be compounded by a fresh bag of arugula from the recent farm box, I decided to try this soup I found from a blog associated with a California-based CSA, Eat Outside the Box . Cauliflower and Arugula Soup Eat Outside the Box farm blog 1 head cauliflower 1 red or white onion, peeled and chopped 3/4 lb zucchini, peeled and chopped 1/4 lb arugula 15 oz stock 15 oz water 1 T olive oil salt and pepper Parmesan cheese, grated First, let me state how important it is to wash your arugula before using it. I don't know about you, but sometimes I get lazy and rely on the "well, if it doesn't kill me, it'll just make me stronger" approach to washing my foods and vegetables. This laziness is only enhanced when the food I'm considering has come from an organic farm. But leaving aside all the various things that can get on the food
