Second Lettuce Harvest and Salad
About a week ago the lettuce in our lettuce pots was looking much larger than when we cut it the previous week, and even our arugula was starting to get big enough to cut. We decided to cut the lettuce down for a salad again, and we even cut the first bit of arugula.
We steered in a slightly different direction with the salad this time by adding strawberries to the mix and also by making a strawberry vinaigrette from the fresh strawberries.
The salad base was very basic, and we don't have specific amounts for the salad, but here's a list of the ingredients in the salad base.
Salad Base
Mixed lettuce
Arugula
Onions
Cucumber
Strawberries
The strawberry vinaigrette was really delicious, and it's very easy to make. Jennifer made it by mixing together olive oil, white vinegar, pureed strawberries and raspberries, sugar, and salt and pepper.
