May is (Organic) Salad Month and we’re taking a hard look at our salad game. How many times during this lockdown have you stared into the kitchen refrigerator, or into your pantry, and wondered, “What the heck can I make with this stuff?” Us, too.
So, for this week’s exercise in pushing ourselves out of our routine, we came up with the #SaladSunday Challenge, Episode 1. Since we’re all having to get a little more creative as we limit trips to the grocery store, we invited our friend Alyssa Rimmer of Simply Quinoa to take on a Chopped-style challenge for us.
On Sunday, May 10th at 4pm Pacific (after your Mother’s Day Brunch at home), Alyssa will create a salad on IGTV, from a list of ingredients that one of you suggests. Let us know what you legit have on hand (c’mon now, no completely rare ingredients – we have to be able to find them) in comments over at our Facebook or Instagram page by Thursday (5/7) and we’ll choose someone’s ingredients for her to riff with. Then don’t forget to tune in to Instagram at 4pm Pacific on 5/10, our second #SaladSunday.
Alyssa is the idea person to take this challenge on. She has visited our farm and our Carmel Valley Farm Stand and is a big believer in organic. Plus, her salads are always on point. Can we stump her? Tune in to find out.
