Kula Romaine Wedge Salad

 

Beautiful red anthuriums at the Farmer's Market

 

I didn't pick up much today since I have a pretty full fridge still.  These lemons are huge but as the vendor said "they are big because they are from the Big Island".  I also picked up some limes, purplette onions and Kula (Maui) baby romaine.

 

Kula Wedge Salad with Cherry Tomatoes, Red Onion, Apple Smoked Bacon and Roquefort.

My husband is guest Valentine's Day chef at the Hawaii Yacht club.  This is one of the starters that he will be serving.
