6 slices of prosciutto (or more if you prefer)

¼ cup mozzarella pearls


Mint leaves (for garnish)

Arrange cantaloupe in a

bowl with prosciutto. Top

with mozzarella pearls,

season with salt and

pepper and garnish with

PEACHY MELON WITH TOMATOES

Half of a small local watermelon, cut into thin triangles

2 tomatoes, sliced

1 local peach, cut into wedges

1 tsp. balsamic glaze

Salt and black pepper to taste

Basil leaves (for garnish)

Arrange fruits on plate, and

drizzle balsamic glaze on top.

Season to taste with salt and

pepper, and garnish with basil

leaves. Serve immediately.

tartness of a peach for a well-rounded flavor profile. Balsamic glaze beautifully melds sweet

and tart for a perfect finish.

FRESH PRODUCE TIP

To prepare your greens, place them in a sink full of cool water and gently

swish them around. To prevent bruising,

tear lettuce with your hands rather than chopping it.

1-2 tbsp. feta, crumbled

1 chicken breast, grilled and sliced (optional)

1-2 tbsp. vinaigrette of choice


Place spring mix in bowl,

and top with remaining

ingredients.

FRESH SPRITE CHICKEN SALAD

2 cups spring salad mix

1 local zucchini, shaved into ribbons

¼ local green pepper, thinly sliced

¼ local cucumber, thinly sliced

1 tbsp. red onion, thinly sliced

The subtle sweetness of cucumbers pairs nicely with a base of zucchini, while green peppers bring the crunch and a pop of flavor. Add grilled chicken or salmon, and you've got a meal.

FRESH PRODUCE TIP

Peppers of all hues will last for

about a week after purchase. To keep them

fresh, store them in the refrigerator,

unwashed, in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer.

Bright as the summer sun, summer squash has star quality. Not as bitter as its younger sibling, the green pepper, yellow pepper adds an element of sweet to the mix. With celery for crunch and vinaigrette to evoke all the flavors, this delightful blend is lovely next to a bacon-wrapped filet and a glass of chardonnay.
