Fresh Finds Market Tour: Summer Salads

If you missed last night's tour of the Easton Farmers' Market, wherein I talked about ways in which you could easily make salads from your findings at the market, too bad! But guess what? Here's the shopping list. I imagine this would work, in some cases, for the Saturday market too, but some of these items are vendor-specific. You may have seen my previous post, a recipe for Panzanella, which we highlighted as one of the go-to salads for the dog days of summer. I'm aiming to try to get these shopping lists up afterward. Here's last night's. Please pardon me for not hyperlinking every one of these vendors who has a website; you can learn more about them at the EFM site, for starters.
