Buy local vegetables, dress up your salad, and shrink your carbon footprint. During this time of year, there are many varieties of vegetables that are in season. Head out to your local farmers' market and choose your salad ingredients.
If you are looking to give your salad a dressing, try making your own.
Creamy Garlic Dressing:
Ingredients
3 Tbs plain yogurt or sour cream
2 tsps garlic powder. Minced garlic works well also.
1 1/2 tsps Italian seasoning or herbs
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Directions
1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a fork and it is ready to serve.
2. Adjust ingredients according to taste. We are garlic lovers so we tend to add extra garlic.
Skip the meat, eat the salad, reduce the CO2.
