Summer Solstice Recipes

We’ve reached the longest, lightest day of the year, and fittingly, the gardens are bursting to life as they soak up every last ray. This week, capture a taste of summer with all the ingredients for Salade Niçoise, a true hallmark of the season in France, layered with produce like green beans, vine-ripened tomatoes and baby red potatoes, and accents like hard-boiled eggs and protein-rich tuna. Enjoy this cool, crisp salad alongside locally-foraged Morel mushrooms, sunflower shoots, and crisp Romaine lettuce, as well as a freshly-baked French baguette, garden-grown herbs, bright citrus fruit and both rich and silky crème fraîche and butter made in our in-house creamery.
