Summer Vegetables



 My friend S dropped by with a bunch of kale leaves and fresh beets.  I made a delicious kale salad with grated fresh beets.  The beets are good like that, a great addition to a salad.  I break the kale leaves into bits, a leaf or 2 at a time and massage them vigorously for about 30 seconds.  They soften up well.  Even the stems are not wasted, I cut them into bits and will add them to a can of vegetable soup, along with some herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

Awesome friend! How wonderful! We love to dry the kale. Great crushed and sprinkled on pizza. Beets are a favorite for us too!

In my area kale grows best in the spring and fall. It doesn't like the hot summer weather.

I love a good beet salad with vinegar and onions. Good idea to use all of that kale too!

It looks good but I just can't do kale.

Our farmers market used to have fresh beets. They don’t have them anymore and I really miss them. Hmmm… I’ll have to check out the grocery store and see if they have them.
