SALAD TIME!


SALAD TIME PEOPLE
That's right, we've harvested again!


Yeah, the Village school has done it again. Last time we made that tasty organic radish chips, and today we've made a healthy salad with our lettuce from the greenhouse. Even though it looks like simple lettuce, it tasted amazing! It must be because we made it ourselves! 


Jeff spent most of the preparing, with slicing up the lettuce into manageable bits and adding in some fresh strawberries for a bit of sweetness to counterbalance the natural bitter aftertaste in green leafy veggies. This can be eaten with light Italian dressing or no dressing at all, it tastes fresh and natural even without the added flavor dressing would provide. If one needs to counterbalance further, one can add some mint or parsley to give it an extra sharpness at the end of every bite.

It's unbelievable that such a simple recipe could taste so amazing, just because we raised it ourselves with no pesticides or chemicals. I can't wait to see what the next harvest shall bring!
