We’re pretty proud of our seasonal baby lettuce mix, freshly picked on our farm. We grow all sorts of organic leaves and pick what tastes best each season to give you a balanced mix of colors, textures, and flavors: sweet, peppery, delicate, and crisp. Look out for young leaves of green romaine, oak leaf, lollo rosso, rocket, and batavia. It’s a great addition to any salad, sandwich, or smoothie!
Start by washing the leaves thoroughly and patting them dry.
Three tips for a yummy salad:
1. Balance: Balance salty cheese or olives with sweet apples, roasted peppers, or tomatoes, and combat bitter tastes with something sharp.
2. Texture: Toasted nuts, seeds, or croutons will lend a crunch. Pulses and grains such as chickpeas can make the salad more filling!
3. Flavour and Garnish: Herbs, crumbled cheese, nuts, and vibrant dressings are best added at the end as a finishing touch.
