There’s nothing better than fresh greens straight from the garden (or farm). A close second is those from a local farm at the farmers market. Last weekend at our favorite farmers market, I picked up some arugula so fresh it still had the flower buds and stems attached. Naturally, I had to make a salad!
This particular stand is something new to me. They are a vendor for micro farms (Read: a bunch of peoples backyard gardens). They also has some delicious radish micro greens that I couldn’t resist. Micro greens are becoming super popular and I love to see them at restaurants all over the county. They are so tiny and cute and their texture is awesome! Like sprouts, but without having to worry about them going bad so quickly.

I did t have arugula so just used microgreens. Served as a side to scrambled eggs for brunch. Yummy!
Sounds like a great substitution!
