And every year, as part of those events, we hosted a meal for some of […]

Arugula’s Love Language

Is This Why They Call it Rocket? 😉 Without getting NSFW…it all started on an early February day about 20 years ago when a young man with a heavy Brooklyn-before-it-was-hipster accent called us to ask, “What’s arugula for?” He sounded like he was in his early 20s. And we said, a bit perplexed, “You mean […]

With a perfect combo of sweet and savory flavors, we officially dub this beauty the Mango-avo Kale-antro Cuke-Halloumi Salad.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yeah, the name needs some work. But trust us, the taste will speak for itself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥭 Ingredients:
4 oz Earthbound Farm Baby Kale, massaged
1½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
2 small cukes, sliced
1 mango, halved, pitted and grilled*
8 oz Halloumi, grilled
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
½ bunch cilantro, torn or chopped
Extra olive oil and lemon for the kale massage 🤪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥗The Simplest Lemon Vinaigrette:
1 lemon
⅛ cup olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Flaky salt, to taste
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤩Steps:
Start warming up the grill. Slice the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and mango. Place the mango and halloumi on the grill. They should be on long enough to both heat them and to leave some gentle char marks. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meanwhile, place the baby kale in a bowl, and add olive oil and lemon. Massage until wilted and tender. Then slice the avocado and halloumi. Assemble all ingredients, dress with the vinaigrette, and enjoy!
