Have you been following along as we cook from our CSA share? This week: a whole rainbow of produce.

CSA

This week's Local Roots CSA share came today! And inside the box was a very colorful spread: We got yellow and green summer squash, white nectarines, little Sun Gold tomatoes, a cantaloupe, a fat head of rainbow chard, and two bulbs of garlic.

Now for the fun (and hard) part... What should we make with it all? Maybe this is the week we get around to making zucchini butter. We might turn to our melon contest for ideas on how to use the cantaloupe. The garlic and the chard are a natural match, and the chard stalks will make great hummus. Where to begin? Help us decide!

We want to hear what you would make with our CSA share! Share your ideas in the comments.

To start - prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe slices with mint. Rainbow chard and summer squash frittata with goat cheese, oregano and garlic. Slow roasted Sun Gold tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and thyme. For dessert, sliced nectarines with whole milk yogurt and a drizzle of honey.

Pasta salad! Chop those veggies up, grill them, and toss them into bow tie pasta. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and you're done!
