Getting started early with the garden this year! Liam was especially excited about planting the lettuce starts. He now checks on them every day to watch their progress! We're involving him in the care of plants from a young age, and already, he's enjoying gardening. He's also starting to enjoy eating various garden vegetables, and soon we'll be planting more of his favorites - we'll post photos as the season progresses.
In the meantime, here is one of my personal favorite garden vegetable salads:
10 cups torn romaine lettuce (470 g)
3 cups chopped dandelion greens (165 g)
1.5 cups grated cucumber (170 g)
1 cup grated carrots (110 g)
1 cup grated zucchini (149 g)
0.5 cup chopped tomato (90 g)
Nutrient analysis:
Vitamin B1 0.9 mg
Vitamin B2 1.0 mg
Vitamin B3 5.3 mg
Vitamin B5 1.9 mg
Vitamin B6 1.3 mg
Choline 145 mg

Yes, I love dandelion greens and spring is when they taste less bitter, but I love the bitterness any time of year 😊
