Tuna Salad

It’s back to school time, and whether you’re packing lunches to send with your kids or pulling together simple lunches for homeschool breaks, we think you’ll love this classic tuna salad recipe with a bit of a Vermont twist. You’ll find many of the ingredients in our weekly sale from August 20th – 26th, so it’s a great time to give it a try. The local apples give it a great crunch and a bit of sweetness, balanced by the tang of the capers and citrus. Not a fan of mayo? Sub in 3-4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Want to work in some other veggies? Consider diced cucumbers, bell peppers, or shredded carrots in lieu of the celery. Don’t have any capers? Use diced pickles or olives for a similar effect. This recipe is highly adaptable based on your preferences, so feel free to be creative!

Chickpea Cheddar Quesadillas

It’s back to school time! If your plan is to pack the lunchbox with healthy foods that your kid will actually enjoy eating, we think you’re going to like this recipe. It packs a healthy protein punch and the addition of some salsa and some avocado slices will up the veggie ante. Just remember to toss your avocado slices in a bit of salt and lemon juice to keep them from browning. The quesadillas do require some light prep work, but they keep well in the fridge for up to three days and in the freezer for up to three months, so you can make a batch on a weekend day when you have a few minutes to spare.
