Summer Garden Wrap - RecipeBy Cait , author of Witch in the Kitchen (Inner Traditions, 2001). Simple SolutionThis light, simple recipe came to me in a burst of inspiration from the Sunday Farmers’ Market in the little village where I live: the plump heirloom tomatoes, just-picked corn on the cob, and bags of crisp multi-colored greens looked too delicious to resist--and they melded beautifully into a super supper wrap, with just a couple of additions. In fact, the recipe was so good I made it for lunch again the next day! And it’s open to lots of variation, so you can suit your taste and make it totally your own. Summer Garden Wrap is great for picnics (I plan to pack a couple for an outing with my beau)--and you can turn the filling ingredients into a pasta sauce in no time flat. This is healthy summer eating at its best, straight from the garden. INGREDIENTS 4 wrapsCorn cut from 2 ears of corn on the cob1 large ripe tomato, chopped1 bell pepper, diced1 summer squash, diced and lightly steamed until tenderMixed salad greens, left raw, or braising greens, coarsely chopped and lightly sautéed in olive oil until wilted1/4 cup oil-cured black olives, cut in halfSalt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste 1.

Add 1 package of organic pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Five minutes before pasta is done, add the diced summer squash so it can cook along with the pasta. 3. Drain pasta and squash and add to vegetables in bowl, tossing to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve. Serves 6.
