Another sign that winter is on the way out; fresh strawberries have returned to the line starting tomorrow. Dot your sweetflow with red strawberries and get outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.
march salad
March 14, 2011
This month’s seasonal salad is essentially tabbouleh with feta and falafel. We have dubbed it ”spring beginnings” in honor of the revival of spring on the 21st and the fresh herbs that make this salad ultra refreshing. The March salad begins with a bed of romaine, freshly chopped mint and parsley, spicy quinoa, tomato, cucumber, local feta cheese from Mountain View Farm, and cucumber basil yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. A topping of our baked falafel mixes well with the Middle Eastern tone and takes this seasonal salad to the next level. You are what you eat, so check out the health benefits below:
quinoa- a “complete food” for providing so any nutrients including tons of protein, fiber, and magnesium. It trumps wheat, barley and corn on calcium, potassium and fiber. And it’s gluten-free!
parsley- often overlooked as just a garnish, but parsley is actually the world’s most popular herb. It’s packed with vitamin K (154% of your daily value), vitamin C, and vitamin A.
t minus one week until spring
We’ve got one foot still in winter and the other is sprinting towards spring. Whichever mood you’re in, we have something to satisfy.

flavors of spring @ 20th & mass ave
March 24, 2010
For many local food enthusiasts, mid-March to April is the most frustrating time of year. The calendar says it’s spring, the warm weather and cherry blossoms seem to say it’s spring… and yet we still catch ourselves wondering, “Where is all the spring food?” The FRESHFARM Dupont Farmers Market was packed this past Sunday with people eating up the first signs and flavors of the change in season. Organic milk producer Clear Spring Creamery, whose grass-fed cows are given a much deserved holiday in the winter, was back in full force – and sold out of its chocolate milk by 10:30am! Sunnyside Farm had a limited supply of tiny orange and red grape tomatoes. And even though it couldn’t offer any springtime favorites, Three Springs Farm had heaps of tasty winter kale and brussels sprouts.
And now, for those of you who don’t think you can hang in there much longer, a reassuring message from the sweetgreen Sourceress:
“The sunshine has my creative juices flowing, and I’m coming up with new Seasonal Salads and Spring Market sides that highlight the very best of what’s in season in the Mid-Atlantic. Think salads with tender raw asparagus and tangy goat cheese, and juicy local strawberries flecked with mint and piled high on a swirl of Sweetflow…” -Erin, the Sourceress
