I have not made it to my local farmer's market this year. Normally, I am regular by this time. Before you feel too sorry for me, I missed several opportunities to go to the market due to a trip to Sicily. Ok, your sympathy for me has hit a new low!
Although Sicily was a lot of fun, I really did miss my local farmer's market. No matter how many farmer's markets I visit, nothing beats my farmer's market. So what's so special about my farmer's market? For everyone else, probably nothing. For me, it's just a special place.
Since I have not traveled to the market this year, I have been dreaming about what I could make with my first purchase at the market. I found a recipe for Warm Bacon Vinaigrette in the April issue of Cooking Light. I thought it would be a perfect dressing for fresh farmer's market vegetables. I made the vinaigrette and used it on potatoes and greens beans. They were pretty good, even if I must say so myself.
