Recipe and storage

Recipe idea

From garden to table

Recipe idea for your 'Pomegranate Crunch' mini red romaine lettuce harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if soil has lodged in the folds, then dry them thoroughly. Tear the large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Mix a spoonful of cider vinegar with three spoonfuls of oil, a little mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour in only the amount needed to coat the greens. Add apple wedges, diced cheese, and a few shelled sunflower seeds. Toss with your hands or two large spoons to maintain volume and serve immediately. Well-dried leaves hold dressing better and prevent a watery plate. The thick ribs can be cut thinner than the tender parts to balance the mouthfuls. If you combine several harvests, use the most robust leaves as a base and add the more delicate ones last.
