Salad Girl: so much to share, so little time.

TOTALLY EXCITED about growing micro greens after my workshop yesterday...you can't believe what you can do with a gutter (with ends of course), sun, good soil, seeds and vermiculite.  I cleaned up my plant corner in the kitchen and hope to try some inside start seeds for the season.  Maybe some sprouts in a jar if I can figure that out...did you know that you can eat pea sprouts?  Yeah babe - even nasturtium seeds and brassica family seeds - oh yeah.

TIP:  Got dried up cranberry raisins, or plan raisins?  Open that jar of mandarin oranges, add the raisins and put them in the fridge to plump up.  Now add that to a salad with a touch of whatever else you need to make a sweet dressing.  Maybe you don't even need the oil for a dressing or just a tidge with the leftover juices.  Now add some more fruit if you like - apple or pear, goat or feta cheese, pecans or sunflower seeds- whatever.  NOW you have a super salad!  P.S.: this ROCKS with spinach.

Over and out Salad Girl on the cusp of Mardi Gras (that's fat Tuesday for you non-Cajun Catholics!)

  1. Yummy tips! And your plant corner looks fantastic! I just set aside some packets of seeds for you - morning glories, squash, and tomatoes. I kept pumpkins and cilantro. If we're both successful, we can share produce! See you on Saturday with more spinach!
