I’ve been loving it since my first delivery. You get to try out delicious fruits and vegetables, some of which you may have never seen before.

Last night I was preparing for my new shipment so I wanted to make sure I used anything I had left in my fridge. I had these beautiful purple Brussels sprouts, purple carrots and scallions. So I decided to put together a simple but delicious salad with an Asian style dressing.
