Edible parts

Leaves

Recipe idea for your SimplySalad Alfresco harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if any soil has lodged in the folds, then spin them dry thoroughly. Tear large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Whisk together one spoonful of cider vinegar with three spoonfuls of oil, a bit of mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour 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. Thick veins can be chopped more finely than the tender parts to balance the bites. If combining multiple harvests, use the sturdier leaves as a base and add the more delicate ones last.
