It’s giving: fresh, crunchy, bright, and just hearty enough to still feel like real meals.

How to Store It (So Nothing Gets Forgotten in the Drawer)
Arugula
Keep in the fridge in a loose bag or container with a paper towel.
Rainbow Carrots
Remove greens if attached and refrigerate. Great raw or roasted.
Parsley
Treat like a bouquet. Jar of water in the fridge or on the counter.
Strawberries
Do not wash until ready to eat. Keep refrigerated.
Radishes
Remove tops if needed and store chilled. Snack energy all week.
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Cool, dark place. Not the fridge.
Kale
Fridge in a bag or container. Sturdy enough to last the week.

Hearty potatoes, peppery greens, sweet strawberries, and a sharp herb dressing that ties everything together.

1 bunch kale, chopped
1–2 cups arugula
1 pint strawberries, sliced

Salt and pepper
Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Massage kale with a little olive oil and salt until it softens.
Whisk dressing ingredients together.

Sweet, savory, crunchy, and a little unexpected in the best way.
Real-Life Ways to Use Everything Else

Throw into sandwiches or top roasted potatoes while they’re still warm.

Eat immediately. Or with yogurt. Or over the sink. No wrong answers.
Radishes
Salt + butter situation. Trust me.
Potatoes
Roast until crispy and pretend they’re the main character.
Kale
Massage with lemon and olive oil or sauté with garlic.
