winter food co-op

I joined the Mill Valley winter co-op and I had grand plans to document and post about everything that I made every week, but well that hasn't exactly happened. I have been tagging posts that came from the co-op as such but I have not been staying on top of it. That will happen when you have 4 jobs I guess. This was one of my favorites- it was inspired by the oranges and red onions that I got that week, I really wanted to use them together. Endive and fennel are two of my favorite winter crops so I threw them in as well. Around March or so I start really craving salad and this was perfect. Crunchy and salady- while still being seasonally appropriate.
