2023 Farmer's Market Guide // Bend + Bozeman

2023 Farmer's Market Guide // Bend + Bozeman

I'm a sucker for a great Farmer's Market. Maybe it's just in my blood, both my Dad and Mom love a Saturday spent buying locally grown produce and meats for their next culinary masterpiece. I feel so grateful amongst all of the conveniences of modern day food, we still have the opportunity to talk to the farmers, ranchers and makers behind our food. With our first market of the season coming up this Wednesday, we wanted to give you a full guide to local markets in Central Oregon and Bozeman, Montana.

WARM SPINACH SALAD
with Beets. Apples, and Bacon Vinaigrette

PREPARATION TIME 15 mins
COOKING TIME 10 mins
SERVES 4

  • 10 oz [285 g] baby spinach
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 2 beets, roasted, peeled, and cut into ½ in [12 mm] wedges
  • 4 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced 1 apple, cut into matchsticks
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices center-cut bacon, diced into ½ inch [12 mm] pieces
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • 4 oz [115 g] goat cheese, crumbled

Combine half of the spinach, the carrots, beets, green onions, apple, and radishes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to render the fat and prevent burning. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate until cool enough to handle. Add the bacon to the salad bowl.

Pour off all but 3 Tbsp of the bacon fat from the pan, and return the pan to low heat.

Add the vinegar, honey, and poppy seeds, and whisk until the mixture begins to simmer.

Add the remaining spinach to the pan and toss to coat. Cook until the spinach just begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add the wilted spinach and any remaining bacon fat and vinegar from the pan to the bowl with the salad. Toss to combine. Transfer to salad bowls, and divide the goat cheese evenly on top. Serve immediately.
