Did you know? 👀 Shiso is part of the mint family and tastes like a beautiful combo of mint, basil, and cinnamon with hints of clove & citrus. 🌿

It’s super versatile — add it to peanut sauce, sushi rolls, pesto, pasta salad, and so much more. But first, try it in this quick cucumber + shiso salad 🥒✨ (before the cucumbers disappear — summer crops are fading fast with the cooler temps!).

We’ll have fresh shiso at our IX Farmers Market stand until frost — come grab some and get inspired in your kitchen! 💚

Cilantro Chimichurri

I just made this and tossed it with sliced radishes & turnips for a lovely salad!! I then put the marinated salad on top of toast with eggs. Yum

Recipe:

2 cups fresh cilantro
A few cloves fresh garlic or garlic scapes
¼ red onion, peeled & cut into a few chunks
2 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like it spicy!)
2 TBLSPN oregano (optional)
2 TBLSPN garlic chives (optional)
½-3/4 + cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in food processor, and only ½ the olive oil to begin with. Pulse until ingredients are minced and well combined. Add add more olive oil, lemon juice, or water to achieve desired consistency. Enjoy as a marinade for steak, chicken, seafood, vegetables, as a salad dressing, or even as a salsa or taco topping.
