Springtime Salad

Hurrah, it’s our first big harvest of the year! To celebrate spring, the Family Garden ended the month of May with a picnic.  Our recipe was simple: we ate what was ready in our plots.  We used Lettuce (Buttercrunch and Red Oak), Radishes (French Breakfast), Chives (and their flowers), Pea Shoots, Sunflower Sprouts, Strawberries, and Kohlrabi (the swollen-stem cousin of broccoli).  Although we’d planned on making dressing, most of our kids seemed happy to simply snacking on veggies as the rabbits in our garden do–unadorned, sweet and fresh!

About Growing Chefs

Vegetarian and local and organic, oh my! Growing Chefs was founded in 2005 as a way to teach kids (and their parents!) about the delicious, wonderful ways in which food gets from the soil to the kitchen. Annie's love of plants is translated here into recipes using local ingredients and ideas from wherever she travels. Annie's philosophy is simple: "Broccoli is not boring!"
