WHAT’S COOKING: 
Crunchy Apple and Kohlrabi SaladThis crisp and refreshing salad proves that the simplest version of a dish can sometimes be the best. Using a mandoline gives the best results (cut resistant kitchen gloves recommended), but you can also use a knife. Get the recipe.
MUSIC AT THE MARKET:
WhobiladosWhobilados play a mix of lively traditional tunes and originals blending multi-part vocals, with varied instruments, for their highly listenable music.  Be entertained while you shop or take a break to sit and listen. Our musicians volunteer to perform at the Market, so tips are much appreciated!
