What’s Fresh at PSU 4/23: Spring Greens

You wouldn’t know it by today’s weather but we’ve had some incredibly beautiful spring weather the past few weeks. And when temperatures start to hover around 75 or 80 degrees, it’s officially spring salad season. You know, the time when you transition away from warm, hearty soups and baked dishes and start to enjoy lighter summer meals.

Our vendors have a variety of spring greens that you can turn into a delicious and hearty meal, such as asian salad mix, spinach, swiss chard, sprouts, lettuces, bok choi and more!

Here are a few other things you can find at market this week:

• La Terra Vita will be back this week with spring veggies, including Japanese spinach
• Stop by Temptress Truffles and try their goat milk caramel (cajeta). It’s phenomenal on a toasted baguette with honey drizzled on top.
