Rootabaga – March 8, 2020

Spinach is back and I personally couldn’t be more excited. I know, what a thing to get excited about, but hear me out! Spinach is a sign of SPRING, that’s right, spring is (almost) here and that means the weather is going to start getting better, which means we will begin to see much more variety in our local food diets. Not to mention that spinach is delicious, super healthy and extremely versatile.

This week we are sharing a recipe for classic spinach salad.
