This week's box screams to be put in a salad together. Fennel, apple & corn would go together well with lettuce. Add the potatoes too, if you like, plus garbonzo beans, grilled chicken, or hard boiled eggs for protein, and you've got a quick and easy summer meal! Check out these other salad recipes as well.
