Eating From the Garden: Beet Greens

Thursday, May 11, 2006

Yesterday's harvest consisted of beet "greens," lettuce, spinach, strawberries, chives and a radish. I made a salad topped with homemade balsamic vinaigrette, feta cheese and a sprinkling of the chives.

The verdict?

Michael makes better salads than I do.

Well, it wasn't so bad actually. It's just that the beet greens were a bit more fibrous than I was expecting. I crunched my way through and enjoyed their beet flavor nonetheless. I liked the color they added, too. Of course, it was the strawberries and cheese that stole the show.
