Sustainable Salads – The Real Comfort Food (September 19 – September 25, 2021)

We all love a good salad and there are two that come to mind, which are great. One is a quinoa salad with diced carrots and herbs. The other is a fresh spinach salad with diced boiled eggs. Even a good fruit salad can make an outstanding meal. Sliced fresh peaches and strawberries with poppyseed dressing pop with color. A classic pea salad is good pick. When I make this, I prep the salad with a well-drained can of tender peas and gently place those in the bottom of a large bowl. This salad is made with crisp wedge lettuce trimmed into small bites, which I set directly on top of the peas. Then, season the lettuce with salt and pepper. Top that with a small bit of drained diced pimentos and about a half cup of shredded cheese. Keep all this in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just prior to serving, add dollop(s) of mayonnaise, little by little, and toss the salad with plastic gloves on. It’s a family pleaser with minimal effort. With such a spectrum of greens and produce – your salad exploration is your canvas to create and it’s your favorite to find! © Kelly McBride Loft
