Strawberry-spinach-arugula farmers market salad, realized

I made it to the Santa Monica Farmers' Market just before it closed today, Katie's salad recipe in hand. Katie wasn't exaggerating -- Local strawberries are all over the market -- and they're huge!

And I managed to get all the ingredients for the salad from the farmers market -- sans the cheese, because I'm lactose intolerant. The produce, of course, was a given, but I also found walnuts from Peacock Family Farms, local honey -- even apple cider vinegar from Ha's Farm in Tehachapi, Calif., to substitute for sherry vinegar (I don't know enough about vinegars to know if the two are comparable, but...).

I already had some leftover farmers market garlic and olive oil from Adams' Ranch in Strathmore, Calif. The only non-farmers market ingredient was the optional Worcestershire sauce!

Lunch was local and yummy.

Man, it looks good, but that's probably a pretty expensive salad though. I'm guessing the pictured ingredients were about $15-$25 in total....
