Thanks for your comment. The apple/orange salad is about as simple as it sounds. Core and cut one apple into matchsticks, and then toss the matchsticks in about a tablespoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Then cut a medium-sized orange into suprèmes (if you don't know how, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjOEGQ18F-A). Toss the orange suprèmes with the apple matchsticks and then top with a light sprinkling of very coarse sea salt. The salt enhances all of the existing flavors and adds an interesting crunchy texture to the dish. Hi Anne. Thanks for your comment. The apple/orange salad is about as simple as it sounds.

I am bummed that they just raised their minimum free delivery amount (from $28 to $32), but I'm always amazed at what a bounty of great produce you can get from these folks. I always make an effort to buy the local stuff on their checklist first, since all that travel adds up, carbon-wise. Having all the fresh food around forces me to cook, which can be hard for us planning-impaired, and it entices my husband to eat a banana once in a while. I think Spud is a stellar option for those who can't get to farmers markets all the time. And, can you post that apple/ orange/ salt dish? Sounds unique. YAY Spud!

I have noticed many of the same qualities in my short time with them. One thing that I chose to leave out of my review (but maybe shouldn't have) is that I am continuing on with the Spud! service as a fully-paid customer. I am convinced that most people who try them will stick with them. Here is one of my favorite recipes for the grill: Mushrooms with Smoked Paprika Rub In a large bowl, make a wet rub with: Olive oil Kosher salt Fresh ground pepper Granulated garlic Smoked paprika (get the good stuff - I go to Surfas in Culver City) Clean and dry mushrooms, then toss them in the rub to coat. Over medium-high heat, cook the mushrooms, turning occasionally until they are cooked all the way through. Don't worry if the coating chars a bit. It still tastes great. Cooking time is going to vary depending on the size of the mushrooms. Thanks again for all of your feedback! Laura – Thank you so much for your detailed account of your experience with Spud!
