Organic Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese

This salad showcases the vibrant colors and concentrated earthy sweetness of roasted beets together with fresh organic baby greens and the delightful contrasts of fruit, cheese and nuts — a combination sure to leave you wanting more!

Here on the Central Coast of California, we’re lucky to have perfect conditions for baby beets to thrive year-round; but don’t worry if you can’t find baby beets, larger ones will do just fine.

Blood oranges are spectacular in this salad, but if they’re not available, don’t hesitate to make it with any oranges you like. The sweet acidity of the oranges sets up a delicious contrast with smooth white feta and crunchy nuts. This recipe is flexible enough to make great use of what you have on hand; fresh goat cheese works as nicely as the feta, and you can easily substitute organic spring mix for the organic arugula.

Asian Citrus Vinaigrette

This light and tangy vinaigrette is a perfect partner for our Harvest Blend Salad. With less oil than most dressings, it relies on fresh juice for flavor and body. Its sweet-tart citrus taste is a delicate accompaniment to the melange of baby greens and marries well with the cranberry and walnut garnish.

Leftover Turkey Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Power Greens

Sicilian Vinaigrette

This zesty salad dressing is tailored to our Roasted Butternut and Baby Kale Salad, but you might find it pleasing on bold lettuces like our Romaine with other toppings. This recipe makes about 1/3 cup of dressing.

Famous Maple Almond Granola

“If you never make homemade granola, you’ll be surprised by how simple and easy it is,” says Earthbound Farm co-founder Myra Goodman. “Especially my delicious Maple Almond Granola, which has just 7 ingredients and is ready to go into the oven in only a few minutes.”

“This recipe was one of the first I ever developed, and it’s been a best seller at our Farm Stand in Carmel Valley for over a decade,” Myra continues. “It’s delicious served with milk, but my family’s favorite way to eat it is over plain nonfat yogurt mixed with apple sauce (about a 1-to-1 ratio of apple sauce to yogurt). The apple sauce gives the yogurt a fluffier texture and sweetens it naturally, without any of the sugar, corn syrup or artificial flavors many pre-sweetened yogurts use. If berries are in season, we often throw a handful on top. It’s yummy for breakfast or for a snack any time of day, and a handful is always a welcome treat!”

Baby Kale and Bok Choy with Sesame and Ginger

Unlike mature kale leaves you buy in a bunch, baby kale doesn’t need any advance prep and cooks in a jiffy. Here we’ve combined it with baby bok choy, sesame oil, ginger and garlic for a flavorful and super-healthy stir fry. A dash of mirin (Japanese rice wine, available in most supermarkets) adds just the right sweet note to balance the piquant greens. These delicious veggies make a great-tasting combo when served over brown rice.

Spaghetti with Baby Kale, Chicken and Capers

We love baby kale in pasta dishes: it’s so easy and adds great flavor, texture, color and nutrients. Here we’ve combined some favorite Mediterranean ingredients — garlic, sundried tomatoes, capers, parsley — and paired them with chicken and kale. (This dish is just as delicious without the chicken if you prefer a vegetarian version.) Leftovers, if there happen to be any, can be rewarmed easily in the microwave.
