This summer salad includes lettuce, with the additions of curly dock greens, okra and sweet potato leaves. I chop them up and take the ribs out before adding them to the salad. These leaves are very nutritious and I cannot decipher the difference between them and lettuce once I’ve added my dressings. The pasta Primavera also includes gifts from the garden. I added garlic, tomatoes, and basil, all from the summer garden.
so my curly dock was cut down to the ground at the middle of summer and now it’s sprouting new growth so the salad has curly dock in it for one. Also I have since planted okra and sweet potatoes. Did you know that you can eat the leaves of both okra and sweet potatoes?! I chopped them up very small and add them to my salad as they are a little bit tougher than what you’re used to if you’re just used to eating lettuce If you chop them up small though you’ll never know the difference :-) also the pasta Primavera had fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes from the garden.
