Move over bacon...here's something greener!

You don't get much greener than a local farmer's market. Mine opened for the season today and I made a super locavore breakfast out of the bounty.
Scramble-Tofu mixed with black salt, turmeric, and lemon juice; mustard greens; beet greens; garlic; asparagus tips, sage, chives.

Tofu bacon - The Bridge local tofu and hickory bacon salt, pan fried.
Arugula - just picked yesterday arugula with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.
Strawberries - topped with balsamic vinegar.

I also realized you can EAT the chive flowers, so I topped the scramble with them. Nice light oniony flavor and oh, so pretty.

chive flowers are gorgeous! What a perfect garnish. I've never heard of bacon salt, is that like smoked salt?

It is more like bacos than smoked salt.
