I wanted something pretty different today--and this was it!.I started with some fresh cut salad greens and added strawberrys, pineapple, banana, yogurt (plain mixed with a little sweetener), poppy seeds and pecans. The Wasa Fiber Crispbread with Havarti cheese and organic turkey slices added a nice counterbalance to the fruit. I debated adding some tomato or celery to the mix but decided not to push my luck because as my art teacher often lectured, "more is not always better." I think it was just about perfect just as it was! (Although I still think grapes and celery would have been fantastic in there). While I was putting it together the strawberries smelled so good! I ate 3 of them before I ever got the salad plated!
I went by the greenhouse today and got another flat of lettuce greens and asked a few questions. As it turns out, it takes 21 days for the lettuce I've cut to grow back out and be ready to re-harvest. So if I plan to eat some of it every day I guess I will need to have 3 flats and keep switching them out. That seems pretty do-able... on the other hand maybe I should just buy their fresh cut & bagged lettuce! I'm certainly going to try it and see.
