Napa Cabbage: http://aggieskitchen.com/asian-stuffed-napa-cabbage-rolls/ try using Napa cabbage for asian rolls instead of lettuce or collards.
Red butter head lettuce and tomatoes: http://www.cocoaandsalt.com/butter-lettuce-salad-with-zucchini-walnuts-and-tomatoes/ . The little tomatoes that you will have in your box are a wonderful addition to salads or just to eat as a snack by themselves. One of my favorite recipes utilizing tomatoes is simple but tasty. You can eat this rice and tomato dish cold or hot. Cook some brown rice, place the tomatoes in the bowl add some coarsely ground sea salt to the tomatoes. Layer the rice on top. The salt really brings out the flavor of the tomatoes.

2-3 small onions, chopped
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tsp fresh ginger, minced fine
1 bunch mizuna, chopped and cooked
