Meatless Monday recipe of the week: Celery Citrus Salad with Balsamic and Feta

Did you manage to get to the Lawrence Farmers’ Market this weekend?

If you did, let’s hope you got your hands on some of the yummy local greens area farmers have this time of year, because, we’ve got the perfect recipe for them. Between those soft baby greens, crunchy celery and the last-of-the-season honey tangerines (or those little Cuties you see everywhere) and you’ve got yourself quite the salad.

No Farmers’ Market greens? No problem, they’re cheaper at the store this time of year and area grocery stores are carrying the farmers’ same greens you missed out on this weekend.
Get a bag and enjoy!

Celery Citrus Salad with Balsamic and Feta

5 honey tangerines, murcotts or satsumas

1 ounce (about 1/4 cup) feta cheese crumbles

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

4 cups (about 1/4 pound) mixed salad greens

1 cup roughly chopped celery leaves

3 cups sliced celery

Squeeze juice from one citrus fruit into a large bowl. Add feta cheese and vinegar and mix with a fork, mashing the cheese to make a dressing. Peel remaining citrus and separate into segments. Transfer to bowl with dressing. Add salad greens, celery leaves and celery and toss well. Serves 4.
