We’re Here to Inspire You July 29-August 1, 2025

Hello SLO Veg friends and families, 

This week’s harvest is bringing all the colors and flavors of summer—truly an “Over the Rainbow” bounty! 🌈 From juicy personal-size watermelon to the first harvest of bright, zesty tomatillos, there’s so much to get creative with. Try blending tomatillos with serrano or jalapeño peppers for a bold homemade salsa, perfect for spooning over grilled veggies or scooping up with cabbage wraps. Pair that spice with something sweet—like slices of sun-ripened peaches and nectarines alongside your favorite cheese for a fresh, colorful board. And don’t forget that watermelon—it’s the ultimate refresher on a warm day, and also makes a surprisingly tasty salsa when diced with jalapeño, mint, and a squeeze of lime.

We’re also loving the mix of earthy beets and crisp carrots—great for roasting, grating into salads, or tossing into grain bowls for a rainbow of flavor and nutrition. Celery adds crunch to potato salads or can be chopped fine into salsa or slaw. And for something truly Southern and satisfying, slice up those firm green tomatoes and try your hand at fried green tomatoes—crispy, golden, and totally addicting. Whether you’re going sweet, savory, or a little bit of both, this week’s harvest has everything you need to mix, match, and taste the rainbow! 🍉🌶️🍑🥕🍅
