I know we are all anxious over this parasite possibly linked to commercially, large-scale grown lettuce. Well, while no farmer can make guarantees...most local, small-scale, ORGANIC farmers use safer, healthier, and gentler practices. Head out to your favorite local farmer's market and get to know the person growing your food. Ask them which produce in their booth they actually grow themselves, how they grow it, how they fertilize or manage pests, how they process. Etc. And if they have something you're unfamiliar with, ask for some tips on using it. You may find your favorite produce item is one you've never tasted before!
Here is a great and delicious (and easy) kale salad recipe. I will have limited bags of mixed leafy greens and a few bags of just kale for the market tomorrow.
The BEST kale salad recipe made with fresh, hearty kale, Parmesan cheese, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and a lemon balsamic dressing.
