Look for us at Saturday's Great Falls Farmer's Market and pick up one of these Farmhouse Salad Kits -- {almost} everything you need for a gorgeous, flavorful summer salad. (Or, skip the lettuce and just make the dressing for dipping with our farm-grown artisan bread!) The Farmhouse Dressing kit comes with a few of the herbs we grow and the mix depends on what's good this week. Often, it will include: garlic scapes, parsley, thyme, sage, chives, oregano, tarragon and edible flowers (pea flowers, caledula or chive flowers, for example) for the top to add some flavor, color and crunch. Oh, and it includes this recipe for a basic vinaigrette:

3 garlic scapes, or one clove garlic finely chopped
1 bunch of herbs, finely chopped
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
3 Tbs red wine or apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs honey*
¼ cup olive or safflower* oil

Directions: Whisk the first five ingredients in a small bowl (or mason jar). Slowly whisk in the oil until everything is emulsified. Serve over green leaf lettuce and sprinkle with edible flowers. (Or, dip Jacob’s farm-grown, farm-ground, farm-baked artisan bread in it!)

*Note: You should totally get your honey from our neighbors and friends at Smoot Honey Co. and voila, you have a salad almost exclusively brought you to by the good people of Power, Montana. And, you should get your safflower oil from The Oil Barn in Big Sandy.

In case you haven't noticed, big things are happening in small-town Montana and you should really have a taste of that.

You can get The Oil Barn oil and Smoot Honey Co. honey at our favorite -- 2J's Fresh Market in Great Falls.
