Lettuce talk about our greens
By: Clare B.
It is green season, and there is no shortage of lettuce at your local farmers market. So what do you do with all the greens? SALADS! I have two recipes that are easy to follow and will help you dress up your lettuce.
Spicy Ginger Lime Dressing
Makes ½ cup
1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
½ teaspoon grated lime zest
¼ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon vinegar
6 drops hot sauce
¼ cup olive oil
Whisk all the ingredients together slowly and add oil. Adjust ingredients to better suit your taste. This can be easily stored in your refrigerator for 3 days.
Bistro Salad
Serves 4
½ cup almonds
¼ pound goat cheese (can substitute cheese to your taste)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh greens
Salt and pepper to taste
This simple yet delicious salad is easy to make and makes a great office lunch! Visit our website calendar at Alleganymoutainfresh.weebly.com to learn more about the farmers market in Allegany County.
