Hello Everyone,
Quite the heat wave we had earlier in
the week. I was worried our cool loving greens were going to bolt in the heat.
We gave them a bunch of extra water and kept black window screening on them for
shade. The red kitten spinach pulled through especially well. One of our
favourites not only for its beautiful red stems but for it’s tender taste.
For these lovely spring greens I
enjoy making my basic salad dressing:
1 part olive oil
1 part balsamic vinegar
A dollop of Dijon mustard
Flavouring (Optional)
Mix everything together in a mug or
jar. The mustard helps bind the oil and vinegar together so they don’t
separate. You can use any type of mustard or vinegar. Use your favourite and
experiment! For flavouring I love to use raspberry jelly but you can use
chopped oregano, jams etc.
Have fun and create your own unique recipe.
Your Farmer,
Amber
