Introduction:
Who doesn’t love a fresh salad, especially when the ingredients come straight from the garden? The crispness of the vegetables, the bright flavors, and the satisfaction of knowing it’s all homegrown make garden salads one of the most delightful dishes. But what if you could enjoy this refreshing treat all year long? Thanks to a clever trick my grandmother taught me, it’s possible to savor fresh-tasting salad for up to 12 months. In this article, I’ll reveal this simple and effective method that keeps garden salads available to enjoy every season, no matter the weather outside.
Ingredients:
Fresh salad greens (such as lettuce, spinach, arugula, or kale)
Herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil)
Vinegar (apple cider vinegar works well)
Olive oil
Lemon juice (optional, for an extra burst of flavor)
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder or fresh garlic (optional)
Freezer-safe containers or bags
Instructions:
Harvest Fresh Greens: Begin by harvesting fresh salad greens from your garden. You can use any type of leafy greens you prefer, such as lettuce, spinach, or arugula. A mix of different greens will offer more variety in your salad.
Wash and Dry Thoroughly: Wash your salad greens carefully to remove dirt, pesticides, or any small insects. Make sure to dry the leaves thoroughly using a salad spinner or by gently patting them down with a towel. The drier the leaves, the better they will store.
