Going to the farmers market without a plan was, well, not well planned. I imagined I’d leave with a bag full of vegetables and some blue-ribbon-winning recipes.
Instead, I left with green onions, radishes, rhubarb and pepperoni roll—not the dinner of champions. (To those of you skeptics, yes, pepperoni roll is indeed in season now in western Pennsylvania.)
Simple Salad with Pepperoni Roll
Joe King of Joseph P. King Farm in Valencia, PA, recommended radishes and green onions in a salad. While not a novel or exotic suggestion, the two ingredients paired well with the tuft of mixed greens and arugula I plucked from my small city garden.
With a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, the simple salad and pepperoni roll were better suited for a nice light lunch than the dinner I had them slated for.
