Winter is the season for citrus, add mint, lemony dressing, and fresh, local greens (a miracle with high tunnel farming!) and its a reason to celebrate even without a holiday!
With a winter storm headed this way, it's nice to cozy up with comfort food. This dish uses up the last of fall's local apples and cabbage along with smoky bacon and pasta with fennel and sage.
Baby kale, including it's flowers, is milder and more tender than it's full grown leaves. The spicy flavor pairs well with a garlic and stone ground mustard dressing.
