Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s time to get lunch inspiration from Farmers market – dive into the world of vibrant, colourful veggies and fruits dripping with freshness, discover new flavors, fragrant herbs and more…neatly packed, piled and displayed on vendor tables inviting us to fill our baskets with a bounty of indigenous produce!

Farmers Market is that heaven of soulful food that speaks to you in so many ways, one – as conscious shoppers of this generation, two – as people concerned about their health and wellness and three – key highlight of responsibly sourcing directly from the local farmers – initiating a conversation with them, connecting, knowing about how the local produce has been grown and generating the good old community vibe in the hustle-bustle of today!

We vote for more frequent Farmers Market visits as it’s a rejuvenating break from the usual grocery stores and mall visits.

The setup, the large spread of garden-fresh produce, the flavors that refresh the mind, and the meals that inspire – who doesn’t need a change?

Bringing you two such dishes for that perfect luncheon inspired by famers market flavors, so that you can fully savor the season’s taste and put your garden haul to full use!
