Hi SLO Veg Family & Friends,

Happy weekend! I have to say, putting together this week’s harvest box was just plain fun. As I looked at all the beautiful produce arriving from our local farmers, I couldn’t help but think… this box is made for a fiesta!

This week’s harvest is filled with colorful peppers, crisp cabbage, fragrant cilantro, fresh radishes, leafy lettuce, and so many other beautiful seasonal ingredients that are just waiting to become something delicious. It’s one of those boxes that makes meal planning easy because everything pairs so well together.

I hope this week’s harvest inspires you to have a little fun in the kitchen. Stuff those beautiful peppers, build a taco bar with family, toss together a crunchy cabbage slaw, layer up a fresh taco salad, grill vegetables for fajitas, or whip up homemade salsa and guacamole. Even something as simple as warm tortillas, grilled veggies, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime can turn into an incredible meal.

One of the things I love most about cooking is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. Fresh, local ingredients have a way of doing most of the work for us. When produce is picked at the peak of the season, simple really is delicious.

As always, we’ve paired this week’s harvest with recipe inspiration to help spark a few new ideas, so be sure to look for those in Tuesday’s newsletter. And don’t forget to browse our Marketplace if you’d like to add a few extras to complete your fiesta. Fresh fish, artisan breads, local cheeses, eggs, and seasonal produce are always just a click away.

Thank you for inviting us to your table each week. I hope this harvest brings a little extra color, laughter, and deliciousness to your kitchen.

Have a wonderful week, and enjoy your own little South of the Border… SLO Veg Style! 🌮🌶️🫑

With gratitude, 

Rachael & SLO Veg Team 💚
