One of the first tips to make a perfect green Salad is simple...
Obtain the freshest ingredients available.
The best source for fresh organic vegetables is your own garden. If you eat vegetable literally within minutes after picking them, they not only taste the best. They are also the most nutritious.
How To Start a Garden
We grow as many of our own vegetables as we can. All we have to do is step outside and we choose perfectly fresh fruits and vegetables.
I will show you, step by step, how to start your own garden that is easy and fun
that advocates using low maintenance Earthbox gardens rather than being a slave to weeds, spades and hoes.
Find a Farmers Market
The second way of obtaining fresh organic fruits and vegetables is at your local Farmers Markets. They are a great way to access food grown naturally without the use of pesticides or other chemicals.
Fruits and vegetables are fresher because locally grown food doesn’t to travel as far to get into your kitchen.
Build Your Own Favorite Salad
After you have obtained freshest ingredients, the next step to creating a perfect salad is to find the best recipe.
My salad recipes come from mainly friends and family.
We have been collecting and testing recipes for three generations. Our family's first cookbook was printed in 1931.Food in my family is important in that this is a good way to share the day around the kitchen table.
We share our favorite salad recipes and experiment with new recipes and then send them off for review to our friends and other family members.
My family and I love salads. We eat salads everyday, sometimes more than once a day.
We all have very busy lives so we don't have time to make big meals. For me salads are the easiest way to feed a family. I will also include some salads that children will like.
I will also include salads from the 1930s and the 1950s especially ethnic recipes. They made salads differently and some of them you won't find except in old cookbooks.
Some of my salad recipes will include:
- Recipes from Our Pioneer Mothers
- European, Asian and Mexican salads
- Salads for Kids
- Fruit salads
- Fish and Seafood Salads
- Healthy Salads
- Salads for Holidays
- Vegetarian salads
- Unusual salads.
- Low calorie salad recipes
I will provide you with tools that will make salad recipes easier and I will update you on the latest of our favorite salad recipes.
Don't just use any recipe for salads on the internet, learn what choices are really the best and build your own!
Every week I will have a new recipe from our local Farmers Market. It is so good to have recipes that match the vegetables of the area.
