Lele and I went to the Peachtree Road Farmer's Market today. Of course, we didn't get there early enough, but picked up some things for a delicious lunch this afternoon. Sometimes I wish there were farmer's markets for people who like to sleep in on a Saturday!
We bought a huge bag of beautiful mixed lettuce from Love is Love Farm. They are from Douglasville, Georgia. We also bought two different types of cheeses from another vendor. Both were cow's cheese one with truffles in it. There was no bread to be had so we picked up a crusty sourdough baguette on our way home. We had a delicious salad with the lettuce from the market and some grape tomatoes. I've been addicted to a vinaigrette that I found in Vegetable Love by Barbara Kafka (with some variation). Here's my modified recipe for the vinaigrette.
Everyday Vinaigrette
- 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup (or a little less) of olive oil
Barbara's recipe also calls for 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. I don't know, I can't bring myself to even tasting it that way. I'm not sure why? Am I crazy? Anyway, this was a delicious spring (feeling like summer in Atlanta) lunch. We also bought 2 bunches of baby beets and a bag of mustard greens which I'll do something with tonight!
