It's salad time!!! Are you ready???

Posted on May 3rd, 2021 by Kelly Peters

We're so excited for the start of our all new salad shares!  The salad share will come with a mix of seasonally available greens, 2 sides, a salad topper (croutons) and a homemade dressing using organic & locally grown ingredients whenever possible from our friends at Finca Farm & Pantry.  This weeks dressing is Miso Ginger. 

This week we are featuring Mizuna greens for one of our salad items.  Mizuna is a green from the mustard family, but it's tender leaf, mild flavor, and refreshing crunch make it an excellent addition to a salad.  Mizuna is loaded with nutrients and low in calories.  It is super high in antioxidants that protect your body from free-radicals and prevent damage to the body's cells.  It is high in vitamin K (which supports the body with blood clotting and healing), Vitamin C (for immunity), and Vitamin A (for bone and eye health).   For more info and recipes---> Dr. Axe has a great article on his website: https://draxe.com/nutrition/mizuna/#What_Is_Mizuna Our Seasonal salad mix blend also usually contains Mizuna! 

We will also have a selection of radishes- Red Daikon and colorful Easter Egg Blend.  The Red Daikon has a nice mild flavor and the long roots make it easy to slice.  For those who aren't huge fans of the radish "bite" you can also try roasting them for 15-20 minutes at 350 in the oven to tame the heat.
