you grow it yourself... or at least when you pick it yourself. Not much in life beats a good pacific northwest U-pick berry farm.
Anyhow, yesterday I picked this from our home garden:
Today, while I was processing jars of cherry pie filling (more on that later), I transformed much of that harvest into dinner.
I did a play on a classic salad nicoise, but substituted chicken (what I had on hand) for the traditional tuna steak, and included the artichokes. I snipped some basil from out back, and made a basil vinaigrette to dress the protein and veggies. Perfect summer supper.
Now, before you think I've lost it and gone on a diet, remember that I was canning cherry pie filling. Mmmmmm rainier cherries.
p.s. I used the kale by tossing it with spicy peanut dressing like I did here.
